Fillan, St (died 777)| Irish churchman. The son of a Munster prince, he became abbot of the monastery on the Holy Loch in Argyll, Scotland, but withdrew to Upper Glendochart (Strathfillan). In 1318 Robert (I) the Bruce re-established an Augustinian priory there. |
| The bronze head (or ‘quigrich’) of Saint Fillan's pastoral staff, together with the square-shaped bronze bell from Strathfillan monastery, can be seen in the Museum of Antiquities in Edinburgh. |
