S. KESSOG, B. C.

(6TH CENT.)

[Aberdeen Breviary. Authority:--David Camerarius, Thomas Dempster, and

the Lections in the Breviary.]

Kessog or Makkessog, as he is otherwise called, an Irish prince by

birth, and an itinerary bishop in the province of Boyne, laboured for

the spread of the Gospel in Scotland. He is said to have settled in

Lennox; and Thomas Dempster says he was represented in art dressed as a

soldier with a bow in his hand and a quiver at his back.
