Biography

Saint Moluag (c. 510 – 592) was a Scottish missionary and a contemporary of Saint Columba, who evangelized the Picts of Scotland during the sixth century. He played a significant role in spreading Christianity among the Picts, contributing to the spiritual development of the region. According to tradition, Moluag served as the patron saint of Argyll, as evidenced by a charter from 1544, which states that 'in honour of God Omnipotent, the blessed Virgin, and Saint Moloc, our patron.' The House of Lorne became the kings of Dalriada and eventually united with the Picts to become the kings of Scots. Moluag's legacy is celebrated on June 25 each year.
