Barvitus

Saint Barvitus (Barnitus) is a supposed Scottish saint, named in the list of the saints of Scotland, with no further sure details. The story makes him a disciple and travelling companion of Saint Brendan; Thomas Dempster wrote that he compiled a life of his teacher and that the Church of Scotland kept 5 January in his memory. A Scottish breviary says that his relics were venerated at Dreghorn. One scholar suggests that he is a manifestation of the cult of Saint Finbarr from north-⁠east Ulster.
