Wikipedia
Columba died on Iona and was buried in AD 597 by his monks in the abbey he created.
In AD 794, the Vikings descended on Iona.
Columba's relics were finally removed in AD 849 and divided between Scotland and Ireland.
The parts of the relics which went to Ireland are reputed to be buried in Downpatrick, County Down, with St. Patrick and St. Brigid or at Saul Church neighbouring Downpatrick.
