How could one not reflect on the most sensational enigma in the highlands, the Loch Ness monster. The Picts first knew of it, it is not a new ordeal. The Picts believed in magical beings and had druids that used power (most likely sheer intelligence). Columba the Irish monk was the first non-Pict to see the monster and scared it away when it accosted him. Columba then fought the head druids of The Picts with magic to convert the Picts to Christianity. The Picts were set into the seven kingdoms, all named after the children of the king Cruithne. The seven kingdoms were Cait, Ce, Circinn, Fib, Fidach, Fotla and Fortriu.
