Imaginary connection with St Columba[edit]

The identification of Craig Phadrig and Columba is from a later source, i.e., Adomnan's Life of St Columba, were the river Ness is describe as being close to Brude fort. The oldest source to Columba's actives, the Amra Choluim Chilli, places Columba on the Tay meeting the High King of the Tay. Adomnan's moves Columba actives from the river Tay to the river Ness. While Kirby writing in 1976 describes Craig Phadrig thus: "its defence were very ruinous condition by Bridei's time", citing the interim excavation report of 1971. Thomas Charles-Edwards proposes that Bridei was the High King of the Tay. Hence it is unlikely that Columba ever set foot in Craig Phadrig.
