"Old Nunnery Spider"
A European Garden Spider sits in its web, with a wall of the Iona Nunnery ruins in the background on the Isle of Iona, Scotland, UK.
Reginald, son of Somerled (Lord of the Isles), founded the nunnery in 1200 and installed his sister, Beatrice, as its first prioress. One of only two Augustinian Orders in Scotland, the Iona Nunnery earned itself the name 'An Eaglais Dhubh' - the black church - after the color of the nuns' robes. The pink granite walls that remain, despite being ruinous, are amongst the best examples of a medieval nunnery left in Britain.
