BY his instructions and counsels the pious king Congal II. governed with
extraordinary prudence, zeal, and sanctity. This saint was illustrious
for miracles, and died in 560. A celebrated church in that country still
bears the title of St. Kessoge-Kirk. The Scots, for their cry in battle,
for some time used his name, but afterwards changed it for that of St.
Andrew. They sometimes painted St. Kessoge in a soldier's habit, holding
a bow bent with an arrow in it. See the Aberdeen Breviary, the chronicle
of Pasley, (a great monastery of regular canons in the shire of
Renfrew,) Florarium, and Buchanan, l. 5.
