 In the steps of the Saints St Mungo, Glasgow Cathedral:  St Mungo, meaning 'dear beloved' was originally known as Kentigern. He founded a church by the Molindar burn in Glascu, 'the green hollow', giving modern Glasgow its name. His shrine lies in the crypt of the cathedral. Legend says he was born to St Thenew, later renamed as St Enoch after whom the railway station and shopping centre are named. St Conval, Inchinnan New Parish Church, Renfrewshire: Conval is said to have prayed with such power, that a block of granite known as 'St Conval's Chariot' carried him across the Irish Sea and up the Clyde. The stone, which is part of a collection of Christian stones at the church, is said to heal humans and cattle. St Ethernan, Isle of May, Fife:  Ethernan died among the Picts in 669. His grave on the Isle of May became a place of pilgrimage and the site of a series of monastic buildings that can be seen today. Boats trips leave daily from Anstruther, May/ Septe
