	Medieval Scottish Saints
		In fact, the Whithorn Trust claims him as “Scotland’s first saint.”[1] Ninian is traditionally considered the British bishop of Whithorn, who acted as an apostle to Galloway and as a missionary to the southern Picts.
		Scholars have used much ink debating the dates of Ninian’s career; the established view is that he arrived in Scotland during the early part of the fifth century, but more recent work argues that he was active between the end of the fifth century and the first half of the sixth.
		The surviving saints’ Lives inform readers that Ninian established a religious community at Whithorn 1,500 years ago, and that Columba came from Ireland to establish a monastery on the island of Iona in the second half of the sixth century.

		Since saints’ lives are meant to be models for holy living, parallels between the saint and Christ and between the saint and the apostles and prophets are recorded by the hagiographer.
		Saints occupied a place in heaven, but their followers also perceived them as present in the shrine of the cult where their relics were displayed.
