St. Fillan

A name borne by two Scottish saints: the son of a Munster prince, lived in the 8th century, was first abbot of the monastery on the Holy Loch in Argyll, and afterwards labored at Strathfillan, Perthshire; some of his relics are to be seen in the Edinburgh Antiquarian Museum; or Faolan, known as "the leper," had his church at the end of Loch Earn, Perthshire; a healing well and chair are associated with his name.
