Engineers are starting work to give the historic island of Iona – the cradle of Christianity in Scotland<br />- an ultrafast broadband tech boost.<br />A mile off the much bigger Isle of Mull in the Inner Hebrides, Iona has been in history books since St<br />Columba established a monastery there in the sixth century.<br />It’s now on course for a 21 st century future, with full fibre broadband being made available to every<br />home and business on the island.<br />The technology – offering some of the fastest, most reliable broadband in Europe - will transform<br />connectivity for the 170 residents, seasonal workers who swell the population in the summer and<br />more than 100,000 pilgrims and tourists who visit each year.
