Saint Medan
Saint Medan was a saint, apparently of the early British or Irish period, whose existence and name are inferred from the name Kirkmaiden in Wigtownshire, but who is also associated with Angus and Aberdeenshire. ==The occurrence and legend of Medan==
There is a Kirkmaiden both in the Rinns of Galloway and also on the other side of Luce Bay in the parish of Glasserton near Monreith in the Machars – both in Wigtownshire in Scotland. A legend relates how the saint with her nuns is said to have travelled from the one location to the other across Luce Bay, using a rock as a boat.〔The theme is not uncommon in Celtic saints' lives: cf Hya, a follower of St Gwinear, who travelled from Brittany to Cornwall on an oak-leaf: R A Ogden, ''An Unknown Planet?'', 2008, Park Corner Press, Warrington, p 41〕
