# St Andrew is Scotland's patron saint...
'According to this legend, the Pictish King Angus, son of Fergus, was marching southwards with his army, when they found themselves confronted by a larger force under an English leader called Athelstan. Defeat seemed almost certain, but after Angus and his men had prayed for deliverance, the appearance in the blue sky above them of a white cloud in the shape of a saltire or St Andrew's Cross seemed to promise that their prayers had been heeded. Thereupon Angus vowed that if they were victorious that day, St Andrew would forever after be their patron saint. Victory was indeed theirs, Angus remembered his vow, and so Andrew became our patron saint and his cross our flag.'

# fair enough
All I know is Our Patron Saint, David. Was a little wussy, but he did build the world's smallest cathedral.

# I went to school in St Davids for 3 months
It's the size of a village but has city status because of it's cathederal. Bet Milton Keynes and Swindon love that! :)
