Frankish bishop Arculf told monks at this abbey of his travels to the Holy Land, which, along with an early map of Jerusalem, were collected into the De locis sanctis. A historian in this abbey suggested protecting non-combatants in wars in his “Law of the Innocents.” This abbey protected and converted a child who later avenged his brother’s murder by Pagans at the Battle of the Winwaed. A head of this abbey named (*) Adomnán provided the first recorded hagiographical mention of the Loch Ness Monster. Tonsure and Easter calculation rules promulgated by this abbey competed with Roman rules at Oswiu of Northumbria’s Synod of Whitby. Monks from this abbey may have carried the Book of Kells across the North Channel. For 10 points, Saint Columba founded what traditional gravesite of medieval Scottish kings? ■END■
