Columba's Mission to Scotland

Columba's mission to Scotland was a religious outreach by an Irish monk in the 6th century, aiming to spread Christianity. He and his followers established churches and a monastery on the island of Iona, which became a religious and cultural center. His efforts helped convert the local Pictish tribes, blending Christian teachings with local traditions. The mission played a significant role in shaping Scotland's religious landscape, promoting literacy and learning, and fostering cultural connections between Ireland and Scotland that influenced the region's history.
