Why was John Smith MP buried on Iona in Scotland?
John Smith and his family spent countless summer holidays on Iona and it was a place he lovely deeply. His widow said he was at his most happy and relaxed, and they knew the virtually car free environment was safe for their three children. Iona, then, held very special personal memories, but it is also the final resting place of almost 50 kings of Scotland and a fitting place for a lost leader.
