Saint Regulus was a 4th-century monk or bishop from Patras, Greece, who is traditionally credited with bringing the relics of Saint Andrew to Scotland. According to legend, he fled his home in AD 345 to protect the holy remains from being moved to Constantinople. Accompanied by several consecrated virgins, he traveled to the western edge of the world, eventually arriving at the Pictish settlement of Kilrymont. This location later became known as St Andrews, where he is said to have established a church dedicated to the apostle.
