For today's visitor Inchcolm Island is a welcome retreat from the hustle and bustle of the modern world. It is not hard to see why St Colm chose it as a hermitage all those centuries ago. But this tiny speck of land in the Firth of Forth has not always been a haven of peace and tranquillity, and indeed for much of its history as an Augustinian monastery, and more recently as an integral part of the defences of the Forth, it has seen more than its fair share of wars and destruction.
