- When fleeing from an enemy St. Colmcille had recourse to prayer. He knelt on a rock bending down out of sight of the enemy so that his hands also rested on the stone. He escaped from the pursuers. Along the road between Churchhill and Glendowan is a flat stone with impressions which by tradition are those of the saint as he knelt there in prayer. Up till very recently old men and women knelt on this stone to pray to Colmcille.
