Image title
The earliest report of a monster associated within the vicinity of Loch Ness appears in the life of St. Columba by Adaman, written in the 7th century. Saint Columba was staying in the land of the Picts with his companions when he came across the locals burying a man by the River Ness. They explained that the man had been swimming in the river when he was attacked by a "water beast" that had mauled him and dragged him under. St. Columba commands the beast to go. The beast is mentioned on line 14 and Ness is mentioned on line 19. (In this cropped image, 'Bestia' is on the second line, and 'Nessam' is on the last line.) The oldest document containing this account is a manuscript held by the Stadtbibliothek in Schaffhausen, Switzerland.
