Bishop's House, Iona

It was built in 1894, when Iona Abbey was still in ruins, to provide a place for Scottish Episcopalians on the island.

[2] Despite protests from the local established church minister the house continued to be supported by the Duke and the Bishop.

Despite the minister's fears they were seeking proselytes, they seem to have been more interested in avoiding the roof leaking and finding space for contemplation.

[2] Known locally as "Cowley Fathers", they ran services and held tea parties for the islanders.

[4] It has since been run as a retreat house for the Scottish Episcopal Church, most recently by their subsidiary group Island Retreats Ltd.[5] The Chapel is open to the public and holds two services daily from March to October, and weekly in the winter.
