Many of the Kings of Scotland and the late leader of the Labour Party, John Smith, are buried the graveyard or 'Reilig Odhrain' - next to the Abbey. The island has many other charms including fine beaches and interesting walks. Iona has two hotels, a restaurant and tearoom. There are a few shops; one which sells groceries and alcohol, one which sells groceries, household goods and crafts and a number which sell mainly crafts. Oran Creative Crafts is a local craftworkers co-operative which sells cards, prints, knitwear, soaps and other gifts. One of their members, Gordon Bruce, has a small company called 'iloveiona' which produces a great range of greetings cards. A small Heritage Centre offers a history of the island. The pretty village, known as Baile Mor overlooks St Ronan's Bay which is where the ferry lands. A number of boat trips can be made from Iona to Staffa, Lunga and around which also leave from the jetty here. Lots of accommodation is available for those wishing to stay for a while. Those who might have difficulty getting around can call on Lindsay McIntyre who operates Iona Taxi.
