ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN SEPTEMBER Saints celebrated on the 28th of September WELCOME! SAINT MACHAN, BISHOP AND CONFESSOR Machan ( Machanus ) was a bishop of Aberdeen. (Information from Stadler 's Complete Encyclopedia of Saints, Volume 4, Augsburg, 1875) Commemorated in the Aberdeen Breviary on September 28, this twelfth-century Scottish saint - a disciple of Saint Cadoc - was educated in Ireland. Ordained as a bishop in Rome years later, Saint Machan returned to Scotland and is particularly remembered for his missionary work around Clachan of Campsie, near Glasgow. Machan built a small chapel at Campsie Glen. After his holy death in 1175, a church was built over his grave. In Victorian times reports claimed to have rediscovered Saint Machan's well , but these assertions could not be verified. The village of Ecclesmachan in West Lothian is named after him.
