INTRODUCTION This Project Was Inspired by the Work of Deacon John Woodside and His Book ‘Together in Christ: Following the Northern Saints’
INTRODUCTION This project was inspired by the work of Deacon John Woodside and his book ‘Together in Christ: Following the Northern Saints’. A small book group, based at St Anne’s RC church in Thurso, Caithness, read this book and were surprised at the number of saints with connections to Caithness. A fairly light-hearted comment about the desirability of bringing these saints to the attention of modern Caithnesians developed a life of its own and grew into a work that we think has answered Deacon Woodside’s own wish, expressed in the final paragraph of his introduction ‘It is hoped that this short book will inspire you to do some saint researching of your own and discover the Christian genes that inform the history of several peoples who would eventually unite to become the Scottish Nation.’1 In addition to the general aim of making the early Christian history of Caithness more widely appreciated, we added other aims. Firstly, we are keen to remind the various Christian denominations of our common heritage in the hope of furthering the already positive ecumenical spirit in Caithness and the Highlands in general. Another aim that was adopted early on was to persuade tourists to spend some time in the county. We need to give them a reason to pause and explore Caithness rather than treating it as a place to go through on the way to somewhere else. Our first task was to find a structure through which to present our material. The most cursory of initial researches had shown that there was an embarrassment of material on our subject.
