St Columba

St Columba landed on Iona from Ireland in 564, and founded the original Abbey with his followers. He lead the spread the of the Gospel across Scotland and to Northern England. The statue is on the eastern wall of Bishop's house, looking west over the lands he brought to Christ. The window is in Iona Abbey, whilst St Columba's bay, where he landed, is at the southern tip of Iona. Note his crook is inward facing, as an Abbot, rather than outward facing, that of a Bishop.
