Nathalan

The 16th century Aberdeen Breviary portrays Nathalan as a rich nobleman who decided to cultivate the earth and devote himself to God as a hermit.

[6] According to legend one very rainy summer the great saint, in a moment's weakness, cursed the rain which was hindering the harvest.

In penitence for his great sin in cursing God's creation, Nathalan padlocked his right arm to his right leg, tossed the key into the River Dee and set off to walk to Rome to seek forgiveness.

However, when he cut open the fish laid before him he found the very key that he had thrown into the Dee many months previously.

[7] One of the stained glass windows in the baptistery of the Church of St. James the Great in Stonehaven honours St Nathalan.
