Saint Ninian
The history of Glasgow Cathedral is closely linked with that of the city. Tradition holds that Saint Ninian came from Whithorn in Galloway in the 5th-century and dedicated a Christian burial ground next to the Molendinar Burn at the settlement of Cathures (which later became Glasgow) in the Kingdom of Strathclyde. In the 6th-century Saint Mungo is said to have brought the body of a holy man, Fergus, for burial at Saint Ninian's burial ground in Cathures (the cathedral's Blacader Aisle may mark this site).
