Abercorn Museum next to Abercorn Church

Saint Columba is also known as Saint Colmcille of Iona.


Saint Ninian is also known as the Apostle to the Southern Picts, further he is also known as Ringan in Scotland and as Trynnian in Northern England.


Abercorn Church and the site of a noted Anglian Monastery are recorded in the small stone museum. The building is made of stone and it houses stone. Records left in stone speak through symbols and style across history to inform our minds.


In looking for further information I did find this,
COLUMBA AND NINIAN: TWO SCOTTISH SAINTS

Thesis : St. Columba is commemorated for having a greater influence on the spread of Christianity in Scotland than St. Ninian because Columba died better than Ninian.

Outlander locations - Abercorn Church and Cemetery / Graveyard

Filming for season 4 took place at this churchyard in Linlithgow. The graveyard played the part, in ‘Down the Rabbit Hole’, of Frank’s final resting place after his fatal car crash. We see Bree visiting Frank’s grave shortly after his death.”

Abercorn Church and Graveyard is one of several Outlander locations in the surrounding locality. Barely a mile south is Midhope Castle (Lallybroch), and the much used Hopetoun House is an equal distance to the east. Blackness Castle, used as Fort William in season 1, is also nearby, less than 5 miles away.”
