Inchcolm

Inchcolm (Scottish Gaelic: Innis Choluim - Island of Columba) is an island in the Firth of Forth, east of the Forth Bridge, south of Aberdour, Fife, and north of the City of Edinburgh in Scotland.

The main feature of the island is the medieval Inchcolm Abbey. In former times, and perhaps partly due to its dedication to Columba, it was sometimes nicknamed ‘Iona of the East’. for more click here
