Fillan, St

    0.09 sec.

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.
