ST See also:NINIAN
, 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, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
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 See also: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)

We are told by Bede that St Ninian dedicated his church to St See also:- MARTIN (Martinus)
- MARTIN, BON LOUIS HENRI (1810-1883)
- MARTIN, CLAUD (1735-1800)
- MARTIN, FRANCOIS XAVIER (1762-1846)
- MARTIN, HOMER DODGE (1836-1897)
- MARTIN, JOHN (1789-1854)
- MARTIN, LUTHER (1748-1826)
- MARTIN, SIR THEODORE (1816-1909)
- MARTIN, SIR WILLIAM FANSHAWE (1801–1895)
- MARTIN, ST (c. 316-400)
- 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
