The Sound Of Iona (Craig) - Scottish Country Dancing Instruction VideoDance Information
In geography, a sound or seaway is a long, relatively wide body of water, larger than a strait or channel, forming an inlet or connecting two larger bodies of water, such as two seas, or a sea and a lake.The Sound of Iona is a sound between the Inner Hebridean islands of Mull and Iona in western Scotland which forms part of the Atlantic Ocean.
The tidal island of Erraid is at the southern end of the sound. There are also a number of smaller islands and skerries in the sound, including Eilean nam Bàn, Eilean Dubh na Ciste and Eilean Ghòmhain.
The Sound of Iona is crossed by a passenger ferry, sailing from Fionnphort on Mull to Baile Mòr on Iona.
Eilean Annraidh And The Northern Tip Of Iona
A narrow strait (Caolas Annraidh) separates Iona from its small outlier. The mountains of 'mainland' Mull are wreathed in cloud across the Sound of Iona
