Saint Modan
(6ème s.)
Fils d'un chef irlandais, il prêcha l'Evangile sur les bords du Forth et, vers la fin de sa vie, le saint Abbé quitta son monastère pour vivre en solitaire à proximité de Dumbarton, en Ecosse, sur les bords de la Clyde.

Saint Modan
St Modan was the son of an Irish chieftain. He became a monk and built a chapel at Dryburgh, Scotland, in 522 which he used as a base for several years. This later became the site of a monastery: Dryburgh Abbey.
He actively proselyted on behalf of the Celtic church in the Falkirk and Stirling areas, and along the Forth, continuing until he was elected abbot, a post which he accepted reluctantly. After a number of years he resigned and became a hermit, settling in the Dumbarton area, where he eventually died. His relics were enshrined at Saint Modan's church, Rosneath.
