"Mind you, if he was alive today and looking at the world he'd probably want to be buried again. Where did you find that excellent little poem/song?"
thats asking something.... but I'd luckily put the name of the book when I wrote about it - Mythology of the British Isles, Geoffrey Ashe, and it goes on...
" Columba, convinced that a deceiving demon was speaking, quickly had the sinister thing buried"!
Oran was Columba's brother by the way, talk about brotherly love.....
p.s. its a fascinating book, apparently the Loch Ness monster chased one of the monks "a terrible roaring water-monster" now either that was a tall story told at the time, which has somehow crept in today's mythology ...
or of course there really is a monster.
