The Abbey is sending a postcard with a picture of
the cross, and a guidebook which includes a picture and a brief paragraph about
it. Will wait for it to arrive

Thanks for the info. Hopefully the abbey can give
you the stuff that Jane is looking for. All the websites can give tonnes of
history, but nothing about MacLean's Cross directly. Oh well, will keep
pluggin' along!
Love K.

Have e-mailed the Iona Abbey for any
information. One of the web-sites is www.scotland-info.co.uk/iona.htm.
If you scroll through this, you will see mention of the MacLean Cross which
you pass prior to entering the Abbey. Iona, by the way, is on the west
coast of the Isle of Mull.

Karen try going to Clan MacLean society and
click on Clan Gillean -Clan macLean. There are lots of resources to be
found for our Clans history. We are descendants of MacLeans of
Duart.

Hello
one and all. I have received a request from Jane (she is without a
computer) to ask everyone's assistance. She has discovered that there is
a Celtic Cross called MacLean's Cross on the island of Iona on
Scotland's west coast and she is looking for any information or history
about that particular cross. I have pulled it up on the internet and it
is linked to St. Columba, who arrived on Iona from Ireland. The cross is
a symbol to others that they have nearly arrived in Scotland, but that's
all I could find out. Could some of you computer experts that have a
little time on your hands help us out??? I told Jane that I would print
and forward any information for her. She is looking at the MacLean Cross
and it's history possibly for Owen's headstone, so all help would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Love K.
