	Drostan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The water of St. Drostan's Well is an important ingredient of Aberlour Pure Single Highland Malt Whisky.
		A Scottish abbot who flourished about A.D. All that is known of him is found in the "Breviarium Aberdonense" and in the "Book of Deer", a ninth-century manuscript.
		On the death of the Abbot of Dalquhongale (Holywood) some few years later, St. Drostan was chosen to succeed him.

	Aberlour Single Malt Scotch Whisky
		Drostan - also known as Drustan or Dunstan - was a protégé of St Columcille and accompanied him on his Christian crusade to Scotland in the 6th century.

	Overview of Saint Drostan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Drostan may have been of royal descent but was entrusted to the care of St. Columba (who some sources say was his uncle) who trained him for a monastic life.
		Drostan remains the patron saint of the village and the Episcopal Church is dedicated to him.
		Today, St Drostan's lodge is a retreat run in the village of Tarfside, in Glen Esk, by the Scottish Episcopal Church.

		After that Columcille gave to Drostan that town and blessed it and left as word (warning) "Who soever shall come against it, let him not be many yeared (or) victorious." Drostans tears came on parting from Columcille.
		Drostan had a foundation at Aberdour on the Buchan coast which probably preceded that at Deer.
		To the north of the present church is marked on the large scale map a small group of rocks off the coast with the name 'Papel' which may indicate an early church connection.

	Caithness CWS - Caithness Field Club - Annual Bulletins - 1987 - April - St Drostan In Caithness
		The name Drostan appears in many corrupted forms including Tristan, Trostan, Tustan, Trothan and Tear and it is commemorated in the old Caithness market day of Tustimas (Beaton 1909, 83) or Trothermas which was held as late as 1902 on the fourth Tuesday in November at Olrig (Munro 1981, 15).
		It is necessary to attempt to trace the story back to the village of Deer in the Buchan district of Aberdeenshire where now stand the remains of the old Cistercian abbey of Deer, founded in 1219 by William Comyn, Earl of Buchan (Simpson 1964, 1).
		The connection between St. Tear and Drostan is not immediately obvious, but just as the D in Drostan sometimes becomes a T, as in Trostan, the name Tear may be a corruption of Deer which was the place of Drostan's earlier foundation in Buchan.

	The Book of the Deer
		Columcille and Drostan, son of Cosgreg, his pupil, came from I as God revealed to them to Aberdour, and Bede the Pict was Mormaor of Buchan before them, and it was he who gifted to them that town in freedom for ever from mormaor and toiseach.
		After that Collumcille gave that town to Drostan and he blessed it, and left the word, Whosoever comes against it, let him not be long-lived or successful.
		It was in all probability handed down from the close of the sixth or from a later period, but it must not be forgotten that a period of six hundred years had elapsed between the events here recorded and the record itself as it appears.

		St Drostan's Church remains part of the Diocese of Brechin and is open to visitors every day.

		St Drostan's, Old Deer, is one church within a group of four Scottish Episcopal Churches all situated in rural areas of Central Buchan - Old Deer, Longside, Strichen and New Pitsligo.
		St Drostan's was built and dedicated in 1851 during the long incumbency (1834-87) of the Reverend (later Dean) Arthur Rankin, the event being commemorated by a tablet within the porch.
		Saint Drostan is thought to have been a Pictish missionary and to have been the first to bring Christianity to the district of Deer, probably in the sixth century AD.

		She, who rode on the other side of Drostan from Rick on a separate rented camel, was fully engrossed in the subject of the other half to the compassing package.
		Drostan’s eyes dragged on the ground sheepishly, “And she’s not exactly my fiancee either.” The thin man shrugged in his turn, while Boann continued to extend her hand to him.
		While the O’Connell’s had gone to bed, and Drostan had fallen out with yet another bottle of liquor at his chest just outside of his tent, Boann was sitting at the edge of their encampment, with her horse, taking advantage of the cool cool night to smoke a finely rolled cigarette.

	The memoranda of grants
		It narrates that Comgeall mac eda gave from Orti to Furene to Columba and to Drostan; that Moridach M'Morcunn gave Pit mac Garnait and Achad toche temni, the former being Mormaor and the latter Toiseach.
		Cainneach and Domnall and Cathal sacrificed all these offerings to God and to Drostan from beginning to end free, from Mormaors and from Toiseachs to the day of judgment.
		The next set of grants entered on the margin of this remarkable record are as follows: Donchad M'Meic mec Hidid (probably the same with Eda, and therefore Aoidh), gave Acchad Madchor to Christ and to Drostan and to Coluimcille; Malechi and Comgell and Gillecriosd M'Fingun witnesses, and Malcoluim M'Molini.

		Shortly afterwards, the Save St Drostan's Committee was formed and immediately arranged a meeting so those opposed to the closure could put their views to council officials.
		But despite hearing the arguments from campaigners to save St Drostan's, Aberdeenshire Council's director of social work and housing, Colin McKenzie, maintained that closing St Drostan's was part of a longer term plan to provide a different type of care in the future.
		Sadly for residents and their families this means closing care homes such as St Drostan's and building new types of facilities, such as 24-hour extra care sheltered housing staffed with housing officers.

		Brother Drostan emptied the leather bag onto the table and began to look through the few sealed vellum letters.
		Brother Drostan looked at his Abbot in silence, considering that his words seemed vaguely heretical.
		He believes that there will be few genuine converts, leading to a back-lash from these Northern tribes against the domination of the One True God.” Drostan looked on, in an expression of non-comprehension that the Abbot took to be disbelief for Emmanuel’s theory of international religio-politics.

	St Durstan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Brockie's manuscript (p3, 754) which was in the library at Blair's College, states that "the monastery of St Drostan, commonly Kil Drostan, now Abelour, was situated on the right bank of the River Spey" where the church now is and there his relics "were garnished and kept with great veneration.
		In the archives of the Scotch College of St James at Ratisbon there is an old catalogue of monasteries in which occurs this ancient Monastery of Drostan and in which it is stated that St Drostan was sent to the north from Iona by Abbot Fergnus in AD 618.
		Now, there may be a confusion here with St Drostan's foundation at Deer but it is worth noting that the Abbot of Iona from 605 - 623 AD was, indeed, an individual by the name of Fergnae.

	Picts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While kings might patronise great Saints, such as Saint Peter in the case of Nechtan, and perhaps Saint Andrew in the case of the second Óengus mac Fergusa, many lesser Saints, some now obscure, were important.
		The Pictish Saint Drostan appears to have had a wide following in the north in earlier times, although all but forgotten by the 12th century.
		Saint Serf of Culross was associated with Nechtan's brother Bridei.

	Always
		We were surprised at how catchy I Never Know Where You Are ended up sounding, particularly I guess, the vocals which just blossomed in the studio, and were really into the idea of recording another single as soon as possible.
		The idea was that the in house engineer would do the actual recording and Drostan would take on more of a producer type role and concentrate on the overall sound.
		When we rang him to get permission to cover the song (he was the most easily contactable as he wrote for International Musician at the time) we had no idea that he was going to offer to come down to the session and end up mixing and playing on it.
