    St Lon built a monastery in Killgorey. It is said that St Lon invited Colmcille as a guest to his house. St Lon has some valueable books he knew that Colmcille was very fond of books. He hid the books before Colmcille came. One day Colmcille found the books an he liked one of the books better than the others and he copied this book.
    When he had the book finished St. Lon found the book and Colmcille had to give back the book, to give back the book to St Lon, because St Lon said to every cow its calf an ''to every book its copy''.
