Article: 'St Columba'. By Donald Mackinnon, Late 19th or early 20th century
Scope and Contents
This is noted as an article in previous historical records, though it may also have been used a script for a lecture, given the tone of the language in the discussion. The word 'Glasgow' is written on the first page, suggesting that, if this had perhaps been a lecture, it took place in Glasgow.
The article does not just deal with St Columba as a subject, but also discusses St Columba's relevance and popularity in Scottish culture and society. This may give some interesting perspectives on how St Columba was viewed in the Victorian period.
