==History== St Adomnán, the first biographer of St Columba (Colmcille) and one of his successors at Iona, first served as abbot at Skreen Abbey, which allegedly acquired its name from the relics of Adomnán. The abbey was possessed by Viking raiders in the ninth century, who pillaged and razed it. Besides his Columba biography, Adomnán is known for the the "Law of the Innocents", protecting women, children, and other non-combatants from being casualties of war.
