This Celtic Cross - with a bit of the cross arms gone, has been in the spot for more than 500 years. It is one of the newer crosses on the property. What makes this unique is that it is one of the pilgrim crosses, where as people approached the old stone church on Iona, they would stop and pray. There are only two old ones in their original positions, this one is about 1/4 mile from the church. One side was carved with imagery of the crucifixion the other interlaced designs to elicit thoughts of eternity. This was paid for by the powerful Maclean clan. It is known as the Crois Mhicilleathain.
