Machan or Machanus was a twelfth-century Scottish saint.[1] He was educated in Ireland and was ordained as a bishop in Rome.[1] He is known for his missionary work around Clachan of Campsie (or Campsie Glen), near Glasgow.[2] Machan built a small chapel at the bottom of the glen. After his death, in 1175 a church was built over his grave.[2]
In 1859 there was a St. Machan's Well at Campsie, but no trace now remains.[3]
Most information about St Machan is lost.[1] However, his name remains in the name of the village of Ecclesmachan in West Lothian.
