An Early Sighting of the Loch Ness Monster? Beachcombing's Bizarre History Blog
The seventh-century Life of St Columba by Adomnan tells of the Irish saint visiting Scotland in 580 AD and witnessing a rather aggressive version of today Nessie from the banks of the wide River Ness that feeds from the east of the Loch into the Atlantic. Says Dr. Beach, "The story ends with the Picts, pagan at this date, praising God. It is a useful reminder that the Life of St Columba is not a scientific historic account, but a work of Christian devotion. The writer may have got high on kelpies and made up the episode. Or he may have exaggerated what Columba saw: one academic has even suggested that the ‘monster’ was actually a walrus that had strayed into the river!" Elsewhere, on the Paracast, Micah Hanks talks Mothman and Mysteries.
