It is a rather small island to the west of the Island of Mull, off the west coast of Scotland. It is under the Presbyterian Church. The Iona Society is an affiliation of lay persons that follow a common prayer rule and specific financial support but do not take monastic vows. There is a 14th century abbey and some remains of the old monastic cells, but the Protestant Presbyterians do not quite appreciate monasticism so that aspect is merely part of the "history".
