MACDUFF
Carried to Colmekill,
The sacred storehouse of his predecessors,
And guardian of their bones!.


Colmekill is the place where Scottish kings were buried, on the island of Iona!.

Its Gaelic name is ì Chaluim Cille (Saint Columba's Island; formerly anglicised "Icolmkill"), or sometimes just ì or Idhe!. Iona lies approximately one mile (1!.6 km) from the coast of Mull!. The island is 1 mile wide (1!.6 km) and 3!.5 miles (5!.6 km) long with a resident population of 125!.[4] The island's stone base is covered by a layer of basaltic lava, and like other places swept by ocean breezes, there are few if any trees!.
