Cemetery of kings and history old and modern
St. Oran's Cemetery的点评
点评：St Oran's Cemetery is situated next to the Abbey. A walled cemetery that also encloses St Oran's Chapel, which according to legend, he was buried alive as a sacrifice to prevent the walls of the first church from falling down.
Dedicated to his memory, the Reilig Odhráin is the cemetery adjacent to the Abbey.
It was during the 9th-11th centuries that the cemetery became a royal burial ground. Although the grave stones have now lost much of their inscriptions it is reported that possibly 48 Scottish, 8 Norwegian and 4 Irish kings are buried here. None of these graves are now identifiable but it is undoubted that Iona is the burial ground for several Kings of Scotland, no matter how unsure the total number may be.
The funeral processions would move along Sraid nam Marbh "the street of the dead" to their burial site. Port nam Mairtear is translated as Martyrs Bay, which is either a reference to St Columba's relics leaving Iona to go to Kells or to a viking massacre which took place there.
Landing on Iona via the ferry you will follow the "street of the dead" to get to the Abbey, passing the cemetery. So it is worth a quick walk around along with the chapel
It is said that when the St Columba died, his tomb stone was made from the stone on which he rested his head as he slept. A stone called 'St Columba's Pillow' was unearthed in 1870 by a crofter whose cart-wheel bumped over the stone regularly - until he finally dug it up. The stone can now be seen in the Abbey museum.
Recent history is also represented in the cemetery, with Scottish politician and leader of the UK Labour Party, John Smith is buried in the north eastern extension. Following his death in 1994.

翻译：圣奥兰墓园毗邻修道院。这座墓园四周环绕着围墙，其中也包括圣奥兰小教堂。传说中，为了防止第一座教堂的墙壁倒塌，圣奥兰被活埋于此，作为祭品。
为了纪念他，毗邻修道院的圣奥兰墓园（Reilig Odhráin）应运而生。
在9至11世纪期间，这里成为皇家墓地。尽管墓碑上的铭文大多已损毁，但据记载，可能有48位苏格兰国王、8位挪威国王和4位爱尔兰国王葬于此地。如今，这些墓穴都已无法辨认，但可以肯定的是，爱奥那岛是多位苏格兰国王的安息之地，尽管具体人数尚不确定。
送葬队伍会沿着“亡者之路”（Sraid nam Marbh）前往墓地。 Port nam Mairtear 的意思是“殉道者湾”，这可能指的是圣科伦巴的遗骸离开爱奥那岛前往凯尔斯，也可能指的是维京人曾在此地进行的大屠杀。
乘渡轮抵达爱奥那岛后，您将沿着“亡灵之路”前往修道院，途中会经过墓地。因此，不妨顺道参观一下墓地和教堂。
据说，圣科伦巴去世时，他的墓碑是用他生前枕着的石头制成的。这块被称为“圣科伦巴之枕”的石头于1870年被一位佃农挖出，因为他的车轮经常碾过这块石头，最终将其挖了出来。如今，这块石头收藏于修道院博物馆中。
墓地中也记录着近代历史，苏格兰政治家、英国工党领袖约翰·史密斯就安葬在东北部的墓区。他于 1994 年去世。
