Saint Conval (Conwall) was an Irish-born missionary who, according to legend recorded in the Aberdeen Breviary, as he was praying on the sea shore "to be borne, by whatsoever means, to the regions beyond the sea", was miraculously carried by the stone he stood on across the Irish Sea to Inchinnan in Scotland. He was active in the Kingdom of Strathclyde in the area of East Renfrewshire, where there were “Conval wells” in Barrhead and Thornliebank.
