Surprisingly, we actually know a great deal that is verifiable by other sources about this itinerant Irish monk.

While I remain opposed to wars and assault weapons, I care 100% about those who serve in the military.” - Steve Alten More bloodshed followed, as brother fought brother and religion battled religion in the age-old nonsense of settling whose method of worship was the holiest to our Creator, who, for all our murderous efforts, most likely despises the lot of us.”

Adamnan says of Columba: “He was angelic in appearance, graceful in speech, holy in work” (Praef., II). His voice was strong, sweet, and sonorous, capable at times of being heard at a great distance. There's no reason whatsoever to think that Nessie wasn't a spiritual manifestation of supreme evil and that Columba's blessing served as an exorcism banishing him from this plane of existence. a b Squires, John (10 October 2018).

The pseudoscience of modern monster-hunting is called “cryptozoology” and has as much validity as does alchemy or bloodletting. I've never given much credence to the chupacabra, Bigfoot, the Pine Barrens Jersey Devil, UFOs, Atlantis or Mormonism. But it's fun to creep yourself out by indulging in these stories from time to time.

Loch Ness is a lake in Northern Scotland. Loch is a word in Scotland’s Gaelic language for the English “lake.” Loch Ness is a very long, deep lake. It is twenty-three miles long, about a mile wide, and almost nine hundred feet deep. There is more water in Loch Ness than in all the lakes in England and Wales put together. It’s big enough to hold every person on Earth more than ten times over! The deaths that resulted from these two prolonged conflicts brought St. Columba under heavy criticism. In fact, a synod of local clerics and scholars threatened to excommunicate him for these deaths, but St. Brendan of Birr defended him. Let's be content in accepting this delightful story about an historically-verifiable holy man who labored tirelessly in the Lord's vineyard for the greater part of his life and for the greater glory of God. There were other beasts in ancient Scottish legends. One was a killer seal that was known as a selkie. It was said that these dangerous monsters could shape-­shift and transform from cuddly seals into humans. In their human form, the selkies would sometimes escort their victims into the water and devour them. We know about the history of monsters in Scotland because ancient pictures of these strange beasts have been discovered. The drawings were made by the Picts, people who lived in Scotland from around AD 100 to 840. The Picts carved images of large water beasts into stone almost 1,500 years ago.
