If you're travelling from .ca

So you've been invited to our wedding and like the idea of coming to Iona to be part of the celebration. You're one of the most important people in our lives and we'd be honoured and thrilled if you were able to come.

However, we also recognize that there may be many reasons you wouldn't be able to: $$$, time constraints, or your family is involved in a centuries old land war in Scotland that will not permit you to enter the country. We can't help you with that, but here are some rough guess about, 'how much will it cost?'

Based on trip to Iona in '05... (all prices in Can. $)

Airfare from T.O. to Glasgow $500 - $700
Glasgow (2 nights before, 1 night after + food) $350 - $450
Travel within Scotland (train/bus to Oban, ferry, Mull bus, ferry) $90
Iona (food & accom.) $160 - $700
Miscellaneous tourist extras $150

However, these costs really depend upon your choice of accommodation, appetite, budget.

There are only 21 beds at the Iona Hostel so if you'd like to stay there, pls contact either Stephen or Pleuntje as soon as possible.
