Besides the foregoing, Colgan has introduced the following churches, which mayhavehadSt. Columbaforspecialpatron,viz. ,Iniscail,inTyrconnell; Inis Muredaigh,inConnaught; PortlomainandTeagh-Ernain,inMeath; asalso, Doire Broscaidh and Airiodh-molt, near Lough Erne. 360 At Newtownards, county of Down, was a priory of St. Columba, which was founded in 1244. 361 The nave is now the only existing part of a church which has been erected here on the ruins. It is divided into aisles, and in the seventeenth century it underwent repairs and adornment. 362
The following is a list of churches founded amongst the Scots of Alba, by St. Columba, or at least, as we learn from history or tradition, his memory was commemorated in them. It admits however of considerable enlargement. 363 1 . Soroby is situated in the Island of Tiree,364 and its modern name is said to be of Scandinavian origin. It has been identified with the Campus Lunge, which is often alluded to by Adamnan,36* and which was used as a peniten- tial station. 2. Elachnave is one of the Garvelloch group, also called the Holy Islands, on the west coast of Scotland. 366 It is said, the monks of Iona had a residence there. 367 At the head of a narrow creek, there is a water- spring on the sea-shore, called St. Columba's well. 3. Loch Cholumkille is in the Island of Skye,368 and in the north-western part of the parish, called
Kilmuir. 369 It is thought, however, that large Island may have belonged to the Picts, 3 ? ° in the time of St. Columba. In an Island of the lake were the remains of a chapel in the last century, and it had been dedicated to the
patron
ofIona. 3? 1
