The Font, Iona Abbey Church, Isle of Iona, Inner Hebrides, Scotland
The base and colonnettes of the font are made from Iona marble. Iona Abbey was founded by St Columba in AD 563, though the buildings visible today date from the early 1200s when a community of Benedictine monks was established on the same site.
