Here we go:
Scotland gave Ireland St Patrick, and Ireland gave Scotland St Columba. My hope for the future is that our young people will discover and share this heritage, and I would like to see young people visiting this exhibition.
Dr Paisley speaking at Leabharlann na Creagaí during the opening of this exhibition, which I'll hopefully be visiting and reviewing next week.

Scotland? I always understood that St Patrick was Welsh, and taken as a slave by Irish Slave Raiders.
In fact, iirc the constant Irish slave raiding all down the West Coast of Britain was one of the primary triggers for England getting involved with Ireland in the first place - to put a stop to it.

90% of St Patrick's "story" is speculation. There’s a school of thought which now argues that he came from a hamlet near present-day Dumbarton.Interestingly enough, both the Irish RC Establishment and the fundamentalist wing of Ulster protestantism buy into it!
