Wife, mother and hermit. According to the Aberdeen Breviary, Saint Kentigerna was the daughter of Prince Cellach of Leinster. She married a neighbouring prince and had a son, who became St Coellan. When her husband died, she left Ireland, and lived as a nun in Scotland, eventually settling on the island of Inchcailloch in Loch Lomond. She died there in 733. The ruins of an ancient church dedicated to her there can still be seen.
