St. Fillan

[edit]

"St. Fillan (Faolán), son of Oengus, son of Natfraoch, son of Corc of Cashel. (of the Eoghanacht of Munster), is designated ‘of Ráth Érenn in Alba.’ (45) This place has been assumed, without any proof, to have been at or near St. Fillan’s at the lower end of Loch Earn, but no such name exists there, either now or on record, though the Old Stat. Acc. of Comrie mentions Dùn Fhaoláin, ‘Fillan’s Hill’ (or Fort)’ with St. Fillan’s Well on the top of it. Ràth Éireann is, as I believe, still extant; it appears on record as ‘Raterne in the earldom of Stratherne,’ 1488 (RMS); Raterne, 1466 ib., now Rottearns, in the parish of Ardoch. As this is quite outside the valley of the Earn, the meaning must be ‘Rath of Eire’ – a district. Again in the ‘Prophecy of Berchan,’ Girig or Grig, who is recorded to have slain and succeeded Aed, son of Kenneth mac Ailpin, fought a battle ‘on the fields of Eire ‘ (ar bhrughaibh Éirenn). (46) Elsewhere we are told that he died at Dundurn, a fort near the lower end of Loch Earn. This is certainly on the river Earn, but in view of such expressions as brug Banba, ‘land of Banba (Ireland),’ brugh Bretan, ‘land of the Britons,’ etc., the probability is that we have to do with the name of a district. Drummondernoch, Drummenerinoch 1595 (RMS) between Comrie and Crieff, is in Gaelic Drumainn Eireannach, ‘Drummond of Eire.’" General Survey of Scotland North of Forth - Original pagination [pp] from W.J.
