A Dictionary of Saintly Women/Brigid (3)
St. Brigid (3) of Abernethy. Bishop Forbes, Scottish Calendars, thinks it is probable there was a Scotch saint of the name of Brigid, whose relics were kept at Abernethy. The Aberdeen Breviary, in the story of St. Mazota, says that St. Brigid of Abernethy was cousin of Graverdus, king of the Picts, who during his wars with the Britons was admonished by supernatural means to send to Ireland for Brigid, and follow her advice. She came with St. Mazota and eight holy virgins, and settled at Abernethy, and there built a church, where the king was baptized.
