Columba, also known as Colmcille, was an Irish abbot and missionary evangelist who played a crucial role in spreading Christianity in Scotland during the Hiberno-Scottish mission. He founded the influential abbey on Iona, which became a significant religious and political center in the region. Highly respected by both the Gaels of Dál Riata and the Picts, Columba is remembered as a Catholic saint and one of the Twelve Apostles of Ireland. He studied under prominent church figures in Ireland, established monasteries, and actively engaged in Irish politics while primarily residing in Scotland.
