St. Moluoc or Moluag d.592 Saintly Rival

A contemporay of St.Columba, he also came over to Scotland from Ireland. He established a base on Lismore, an island in the Firth of Lorne, apparently to St.Columba's annoyance, since this was in Columba's sphere of influence. Not only was this getting in the way of Columba's religious message but religious and secular power were closely connected then. Perhaps because of this he is also associated with areas far to the north-east where he may have moved under threat.
