“Nor is heaven as is alleged.
Nor is hell as is asserted.
Nor is the good eternally happy.
Nor is the bad eternally unhappy.”

Scaring off the Loch Ness Monster is quite an achievement, but my favourite St Columba story is the one where he buries St Oran alive, twice

The first recorded sighting of a monster connected to Loch Ness is given in Adomnán’s VITA COLUMBÆ (“Life of St Columba”, c.7th/8th century CE). St Columba sends it packing

Columba has a fair claim to being Scotland’s first patron saint. Scottish kings were buried in Reilig Odhráin, the cemetery next to Columba’s abbey on Iona between the 9th & 11th centuries CE, & what were (possibly) his relics were (perhaps) carried in front of the Scottish army at Bannockburn

In a speech at the High Court of King Diarmaid in 6th Century Ireland, St. Columba aka Colmcille advocated for the right to copy books ~1500 years before the Budapest Open Access Initiative (Ray Corrigan, 2007 http://oro.open.ac.uk/10332/1/GIKII_Colmcille_final.pdf).

Diarmaid ruled against him; Colmcille's subsequent rebellion led to 3000 deaths in the Battle of Cúl Dreimhne. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_C%C3%BAl_Dreimhne

One footprint is ancient: but it is said that the other and the (wrong) date were added in 1856. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/southend/footprintscaves/index.html

A VIRTUAL TOUR OF SCOTLAND

While on Iona we visit Iona Abbey. The building you see today was restored from a ruin in the years from 1902. It has origins that date back to the founding of a Benedictine monastery here in about 1200 on a site not far from a monastery founded by St Columba over six centuries earlier. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/iona/abbey/index.html
