EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the ruins of St Oran's Chapel on the enchanting island of Iona in the Inner Hebrides, off the west coast of Scotland. Dedicated to St Oran, this medieval chapel was built around the 12th century and is a significant historical and spiritual site. The image showcases the chapel's crumbling walls, adorned with leadstones, and the tranquil graveyard that surrounds it. The atmosphere is one of peace and reflection, as the ruins stand amidst the natural beauty of the island. St Oran's Chapel was once part of a larger monastic community and was restored during the same time as Iona Abbey, around the late 19th or early 20th century. The chapel's name, Odhrán or Oran, means 'little green one' or 'little saint,' and is believed to have been associated with the early Christian missionaries who brought the faith to Scotland. This photograph is a captivating reminder of the rich history and spiritual significance of Iona and its ancient ruins.
