St Columcille, the third most famous saint in Ireland, was born Dec 7, 521 in Gartan, Co. Donegal. In Gartan there is a stone called ‘the flagstone of loneliness’ which heals the hearts of homesickness of those leaving Ireland. It is said Columcille slept there before his self-imposed exile to Scotland.
