Walking in the Footsteps of Mungo

My theme for my Honours year at college surrounds Saint Mungo, patron saint of Glasgow. His story is fascinating and I felt I wanted to bring the story to life in a way that hadn't been done before. So I settled on the idea of physically walking his walk myself. 

Saint Mungo on Undiscovered Scotland

Born in Culross, he walked from here to Glasgow on the first part of his many journeys, and founded the first settlement and church on the north side of the Clyde where Glasgow Cathedral now stands.

There are four miracles that surround Saint Mungo concerning a bird, a fish, a tree, and a bell. Imagery of these is throughout Glasgow, and also on the Glasgow Coat of Arms. This imagery has it's place in the story, but as I want to bring something new, it is not likely to play a large part.

My first task is to visit the key sites in the story, which are: Traprain Law in East Lothian, Culross, and Glasgow. I intend to walk from Culross to Glasgow, following Mungo's footsteps as closely as possible. 

The map below, from the book, traces part of the route from Culross. How accurate this is I'm not sure, but this is a starting point.



What I do know is that at this time, the Romans had retreated from this area and left several droving roads which Mungo would probably have used in his journey. My task is to identify these roads where they still exist. I am aware of the existence of one such road which ran parallel to the Antonine wall through Cumbernauld, so again this will be part of my investigation.
