The Founding of Derry

"Colm, all this is yours."


"Really?" The King and Colm Cille are standing on a hill looking out over the River Foyle to the Donegal hills beyond.


"Well, maybe not all, - but do you see that oakgrove? On the land over in the middle of the river? I want to give that to you, to found a monastery. I want you to make this place Doire Calgach a holy place where pilgrims will come for miles."


From the Myths and Legends of Colm Cille series.
