Conval was a 7th-century missionary originally from Ireland. According to traditions found in the Aberdeen Breviary, he was transported across the Irish Sea to Scotland by a stone while praying to reach distant lands. He operated within the Kingdom of Strathclyde, specifically in the East Renfrewshire region, where he is credited with establishing churches at locations such as Inchinnan, Pollokshaws, and Fereneze. He is venerated as a saint in both Catholic and Orthodox traditions.
