About Iona Cottage

The detached cottage named Iona is situated at Elwick Bay on the south of the island only a few minutes away from the pier, the village and Balfour Castle.Iona cottage gets its name from the SS Iona who plied to and from the island for 70 years until her service came to an end when she sank at Shapinsay pier during a storm in November 1964. Her hull was beached on the shore of Elwick Bay, where she still lies today.
