Speaking of things that are gorgeous and well worth a visit I can also strongly recommend Iona - one of the places where the Book of Kells may have been produced.

A bit out of the way and the weather isn't always perfect but on a nice day I think Iona is one of the most beautiful places in the world - and that's before considering it's remarkable history and religious significance.

I went to Iona a couple of months ago and had a spectacular time. Though the impression I got from the Abbey Museum was that the Book of Kells was definitely written solely on Iona. I suspected this might be slightly skewed, but that's OK. I understand having pride in a place like Iona.
