    Indeed -- I would think that Loch Ness would be far too cold for this sort of thing, hypothermia and all that. Where's St. Columba (or for that matter, Nessie) when you need them?

    Wow! I once went swimming of Iona in the summer and it was cold. Much respect to St. Columba.

    Ah, but there is a fine line between bravery and stupidity.

    Kiltman,
    HOW did you dig THIS up??
    (It's from 2005)

    By the way, I wrote my college history thesis about Colum Chille/Columba and his theology. VERY interesting guy.

    At least the peat in the water would save them from seeing exactly HOW cold their mates were...
