Iona is seeing some changes on the waterside. There is a wee upgrade of the pier with the completion of the concrete work. A new toilet block is being built too. The big change is the new breakwater being constructed to the South side of the ferry pier. A huge amount of hardware and vessels present there. Thousands of tons of boulders are being placed on the seabed. Rock from Ireland, Norway and the local Glensanda quarry all making up the structure. It should provide some great shelter from the swell and weather.
