Pictland

The first Christian missionaries in Pictland are thought to have come from Ireland in the early sixth century.From his monastery on Iona, Columba organised missions and travelled tirelessly to bring Christianity to the Picts, his conversion of the pagan King Brude being one of the key events of Scottish history.

Se crede ca primii misionari crestini din Pictland au venit din Irlanda la inceputul secolului al VI-lea. De la manastirea sa de la Iona, Columba a organizat misiuni si a calatorit neobosit pentru a aduce crestinismul la picturi, convertirea regelui pagan Brude fiind una dintre cheile evenimente din istoria scotiana.
