Grave-slab of an unknown warrior or clan chief
In common with other similar effigies, this bearded figure lies with his helmeted head on a cushion, a faithful hound resting at his feet. He is armed with a narrow-bladed spear and an impressive sword with lobed pommel. However, his shield is unusual in shape and somewhat more elaborate than others. It shows a wyvern, a dragon-like creature, attacking a castle tower. What significance or story lies behind this scene we can only imagine.

Scope and Content Carved stone effigy, from Iona, Argyll and Bute Iona is one of the most important religious sites in Scotland. The earliest community was formed by St Columba who came over from Ireland around AD 563. This was replaced by the Benedictine Abbey and Augustinian Nunnery in around AD 1200. This slightly-tapering slab bears the effigy of a man in armour. His head rests on a plain pillow and there is a hound at his feet. He wears a mail coif, bascinet, chin-guard and mail gauntlets. He carried a spear and a sword and had a shield. The slab was formerly in Reilig Odhrain, but is now in the Abbey Museum (No 100). No inscriptions have survived to identify the figure, though his shield design - a wyvern on a tower, is still visible. The style belongs to the Iona school of carving.

St Oran's Chapel (Odhráin/Orain/Odran) is a medieval chapel located on the island of Iona in the Inner Hebrides off the west coast of Scotland.[1] Built in the 12th century, the chapel was dedicated to St Oran. St Oran's Chapel was a ruin until the chapel was restored during the same time as Iona Abbey. The chapel is protected as a part of the Iona monastic settlement scheduled monument.[2]
The burial ground surrounding the chapel is known as Reilig Òdhrain.

As you approach the Abbey, you will see an intriguing little chapel within a walled graveyard, off to the right.
There is an elaborate tomb-recess built into the south wall, and a number of carved West Highland grave slabs.
Around 30 original gravestones were removed from the graveyard to preserve them, and can be seen in the Abbey Museum. Traditionally used as a burial ground for kings, it is thought that around 48 Scottish kings were laid here.
