| ST. EDDREN'S SLACK | St. Eddren's Slack | 008 | Applies to small glen on the east side of Mormond Hill, and a short distance to the south of King's Seat St. Eddren lived towards the end of Sixth Century. He was bred to religion from his childhood, but being grown up * went over to Ireland for his farther improvement among the clergy, who were then famous there. By them he was made a bishop, and, returning into Scotland, took into his company certain Priests and deacons, whom he had before instructed, and with whom he travelled over the Country, as a Pilgrim, labouring indefatigably for the Salvation of Souls. Wheresoever he Came, he visited the Sick (and, it is said, often cured them) and baptised and confirmed where there was need. He also consecrated Several Churches, and particularly Rathen, which was afterward dedicated to his own memory: and, in that parish there is a den, Said to have been his hermitage, and to this day Called St Eddren's Slack.
