BELL OF ST NINIAN

 

According to Christian legend

The Clog-rinny, or Bell of St Ninian

At the moment of St. Ninian’s repose,

A bell began to ring by itself,

Announcing the righteous man’s death,

And calling everybody to his deathbed,

He was buried in a stone sarcophagus

Near the altar of his church in Whithorn

Pilgrims flocked to his see his relics

Up to the sixteenth century Reformation
