MacLean’s Cross, a tall free standing cross, was probably erected in the 1400’s. The cross is a rarity, as only a few of Iona’s stone cross survived the Reformation and apparently 357 of them did not, which is a great shame. The crosses were pray stations for pilgrims coming to the Island.
The solid wheel head depicts the crucifixion and the broad faces are carved with an interlaced pattern, continuing the celtic tradition.

MacLean’s Cross is a free-standing stone construction dating to the late 1400s.
Carved from a single slab more than 3m high, the disc-headed cross is carved on both sides.

on the way out of the village heading north.
It's impressive that the cross is still so well preserved after centuries.
