St Adamnan (624 - 704) founded an evangelising monastery on the island of Inchkeith (NT 2982) between 679 and 704 (Dr Reeves nd.) and dedicated the church to St Columba.

According to Bower, Adamnan was abbot of Inchkeith, which, of course, is wrong. This may be confusion with Adamnan of Coldingham.
