According to Jocelyn's life of Kentigern, the saint was born at Culross in Fife, and brought up until manhood by St. Serf (or Servanus) at his monastery there; but Skene shows that this connection between the two saints involves an anachronism, as St. Serf really belongs to the following century.

 Life of Kentigern Chapter viii   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
When the holiness of Saint Kentigern became clear by such increasingly remarkable signs, and the fragance of his virtues spread like the odor of life far and wide, his rivals derived an odor of death from this life-giving aroma.
Kentigern in effect is given the same attributes of these persons in Jocelyn’s attempt to depict the saint as a miles Christi.
As Kentigern’s next stop on his journey is Carnock, and Alloa is on the route, this possibility seems to have validity (328).

Saint Servanus too had his favourite "little sister," a tiny robin-redbreast, so tame that it would come and perch on the old man's shoulder, hop upon his hand, and at matins would cheerfully chirp its little hymn of praise with the rest.
It was to the river that Kentigern bent his steps, scarcely knowing which way to turn, but drawn to the place where the shepherds' fire had warmed him as a tiny baby, where the cry of the sea-birds and the moan of the sea had drowned his first feeble wail.
Saint Servanus knew that the boy was right, and that he must finish his life-work alone, while the strong young lad, the herald of the dawn, should carry the light into the dark places of the land.
