One of Scotland’s most venerated saints was English, Saint Margaret of Wessex. Her name appears all over Edinburgh.

You’ll need to be careful to distinguish it from the water from St Margaret’s Loch in Holyrood Park, you need be a duck to enjoy the water from there !

Steven. Herbert of Derwent water, already the patron saint of slightly odd people.

I must be special as I have a national day named after me.
And my wife, who's birthday was July 4th, had the USA naming a day after her.

My son was born 14 July - in 2020 we had a holiday in southern France planned and we told him the whole country would be celebrating his birthday. Sadly COVID put paid to that!

14 July is also a funny name for a boy - but then this thread is making me adjust my preconceptions ...

I hope you do manage another 14th July trip - there should be some bike racing for him to watch when you get there too! :-) 🥖
