Life
Saint Glastian of Kinglassie was a bishop in the district of Fife in Scotland and reposed in 830. He is the patron of Kinglassie.
He is remembered as a mediator in the wars between the Picts and the invading Scots, and as one who eased the lot of the Picts after they were subjugated by their enemies. The church at Kinglassie, which belonged to Dunfermline Abbey, was dedicated to him and stood near Saint Glastian's Well. A collect of the Breviary calls him confessor and bishop.
He is a saint of the undivided Church, commemorated on 28 January (new style); some Scottish calendars list him on 30 January.
Commemorated the same day January 28
