St Aiden, Bishop of Lindisfarne (the alternative name for Holy Island), who died in 659 AD.
He was a monk at Iona, an island of the Inner Hebrides in Scotland, when King Oswald of Northumbria
made him bishop for the newly converted Northumbrians. He settled on Lindisfarne and established
a monastery there, the ruins of which still exist and are shown in the following images.
