“LAA COLUMB KILLEY” means Saint COLUMBA’S DAY

It was customary that the service in the Church (Arbory Church being dedicated to St. Columba) should be followed by public games and rejoicings.

For over 100 years Arbory have held a fair called Laa Columb Killey on the Thursday nearest the anniversary of the date St Columba died.
