2019 photo - A view from the long path leading to St Blane's Church, Isle of Bute, Scotland. Saint Blane or Bláán was an early Scottish Christian Pictish bishop who was born at some unknown date on the Isle of Bute. He died 590 AD . His feast day is the 10th August. He is recognised also by the Scottish Episcopal Church, the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. The double burial ground is said to be for males and females, though other authorities think the upper one was for monks whilst the lower one was for the laity. St Blane is said to be buried in the upper graveyard.
