TEN GLAMPING pods on the Isle of Iona have been given planning permission by Argyll and Bute Council.
The application, submitted by Glen MacDonald of Iona, proposed ‘camping facilities, including 10 glamping pods with associated external decks’, plus a services building, septic tank and new vehicle access on land south of Bishops Walk.
One supporter from Fionnphort hailed the ‘significant investment in tourism development for Iona and the Ross of Mull’ and the importance of ‘diversifying the range of accommodation for visitors on modest budgets’.
