Excerpt from The Legends and Commemorative Celebrations: Of St. Kentigern, His Friends, and Disciples The editor, translator, or compiler of the following pages, - for he may not aspire to the style of author, - was at one time ambitious enough to entertain the thought of preparing a complete calendar of the Scottish Saints. Taking the national legends of the Aberdeen Breviary for a basis, he proposed to intercalate, or to add, all that he might be able to ascertain regarding those dii minores of our country's earlier faith, who, although not enrolled in that dignified service-book, are mentioned in other literary monuments now less recondite than they were then, or have left some dim memorial of themselves in the names of the towns, villages, fairs, and wells of our country, - sometimes in remote and lonely districts or spots where there had once been chapels, cells, or hermitages.
