    The Gobán Saor.
    When St. Aidan was building his church, he lacked skilled workmen. He employed a labourer one day - blessed his hands and immediately the man became a skilled architect, and later a famous builder. He was known as the Gobán Saor, and built marvellous Castles etc throughout the country.
