See also:NINIAN, ST , a Briton, probably from See also:Strathclyde, who was trained at See also:Rome and founded a See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

church at See also:Whithorn on the See also:west See also:side of See also:Wigtown See also:Bay. Whithorn has been identified with the Leukopibia of See also:Ptolemy, but this is uncertain. See also:Bede, See also:writing three centuries after Ninian, ascribes the name Ad Candidam Casam to the fact that the church of Ninian was built of See also:- STONE
- STONE (0. Eng. shin; the word is common to Teutonic languages, cf. Ger. Stein, Du. steen, Dan. and Swed. sten; the root is also seen in Gr. aria, pebble)

- MARTIN, WILLIAM (1767-1810)
Martin of See also:Tours, who died between 397 and 400, but Ailred of See also:Rievaulx is our only authority for the statement that St Martin supplied him with masons. The See also:population of the See also:north See also:shore of the Solway See also:Firth at the beginning of the 5th See also:century were probably either Picts or Goidels or a blend of both, and naturally hostile to the Romanized Britons. Bede records that Ninian preached among the Picts within the Mounth, which indicates that he was acquainted with the Pictish See also:language. The legends of his See also:work in See also:Ireland probably arise from the See also:influence exercised in that See also:country by the church of Whithorn. The date of Ninian's See also:death is given by See also:Archbishop Ussher as 432, but there is no authority for this statement.
