The Medieval Glasgow Trust tells us that Saint Enoch has been described as Scotland’s first recorded survivor of domestic and sexual assault and abuse - "a very modern saint for the #MeToo generation, who rose above the hardships she faced." /2

"Born Princess Theneva, her father Loth, King of Gododdin (modern day East Lothian) threw her out for being pregnant ... after an illicit encounter with her cousin, King Owain of North Rheged (now part of Galloway). " /3

"Her furious father had her tied to a chariot and launched off Traprain Law. Amazingly she and the unborn baby survived and her father, now believing she was a witch, set her adrift in a coracle without oars up the River Forth." /4

"Rescued by the leader of the monastery at Culross, St Serf, her child affectionately became known as Mungo, meaning 'dear one'."

St Mungo is Glasgow's patron saint. But his story can wait. /5

St Enoch Square and various other places are named after her, as she's believed to be buried there. Here's a gorgeous photo of it from @YourWullie: https://twitter.com/YourWullie/status/1218268957829992466 /6

I'm nowhere near Glasgow today. But I'm thinking of her, and I can't wait to get home. /7
