Adomnán in his Life of Saint Columba offers a longer account, which Abbot Ségéne had heard from Oswald himself.

The main source of information about Columba's life is the Vita Columbae by Adomnán ( also known as Eunan ), the ninth Abbot of Iona, who died in 704.

Adomnán reports that Rhydderch sent a monk named Luigbe to Iona to speak with Columba " for he wanted to learn whether he would be slaughtered by his enemies or not ".

" He notes that Adomnán calls Diarmait filius Cerbulis, son of Cerball, and not son of Fergus as the genealogies would have it.

Although nothing is known of Cuildach and Domangart or their descendants, Adomnán mentions a certain Ioan, son of Conall, son of Domnall, " who belonged to the royal lineage of the Cenél nGabráin ", but this is generally read as meaning that Ioan was a kinsman of the Cenél nGabráin, and his grandfather named Domnall is not thought to be the same person as Áedán's brother Domnall.

Adomnán categorizes the Vita Columbae into three different books: Columba ’ s Prophecies, Columba ’ s Miracles, and Columba ’ s Apparitions.

Adomnán tells of Columba ’ s prophetic revelations in the first book.

According to Adomnán, Columba came across a group of Picts burying a man who had been killed by the monster.

In book three, Adomnán describes different apparitions of the Saint, both that Columba receives and those that are seen by others regarding him.

Whereas Adomnán just tells us that Columba visited Bridei, Bede relates a later, perhaps Pictish tradition, whereby the saint actually converts the Pictish king.

Adomnán, the 7th century abbot of Iona, records Colonsay as Colosus and Tiree as Ethica, both of which may be pre-Celtic names.

The earliest report of a monster associated with the vicinity of Loch Ness appears in the Life of St. Columba by Adomnán, written in the 7th century.

According to Adomnán, writing about a century after the events he described, the Irish monk 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.

While very little in the way of Pictish writing has survived, Pictish history since the late 6th century is known from a variety of sources, including Bede's Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum, saints ' lives such as that of Columba by Adomnán, and various Irish annals.

Likewise, the Cáin Adomnáin ( Law of Adomnán, Lex Innocentium ) counts Nechtan's brother Bridei among its guarantors.
