A Calendar of Scottish Saints

Within this compact calendar you’ll travel through the saints who shaped early Scottish spirituality, one day at a time. The author draws on medieval breviaries, parish records and classic histories, arranging each figure by the date traditionally assigned to their death. From founders like Kentigern (Mungo) to more obscure hermits such as Kentigerna of Loch Lomond, the entries reveal how holy lives were woven into the geography of the Highlands and Lowlands.

The notices are brief but informative, offering vital dates, family ties, and lingering traces of their cult in place‑names that still dot the landscape. Revised and augmented for this edition, the work incorporates new research and corrects earlier errors, giving listeners a reliable snapshot of the medieval church in Scotland. You’ll hear stories of visionary dreams, solitary retreats, and clashes of politics and piety that shaped their legacies.

Presented in a spoken format, each entry fits comfortably into a listening pause, making it ideal for reflection or a leisurely tour of Scotland’s heritage. The calendar invites curiosity about how these saints continue to echo in towns, churches and folklore.
