Columba was here!
« on: July 11, 2017, 07:19:10 PM »
      Been there many a time, and sat on the mound that covered the cille - the cell Columcille (Columba)  was reputed to have used.

Yep. Makes me want to go back for a few weeks - I'll try and bribe - sorry - cajole - some space at the McLeod centre in October.
