==Founding legend== A legend states that when the Brittonic princess (and future saint) [[Teneu]], daughter of the king of [[Lothian]], became [[pregnant]] before marriage, her family threw her from a cliff. She survived the fall unharmed, and was soon met by an unmanned boat. She knew she had no home to go to, so she got into the boat; it sailed her across the [[Firth of Forth]] to land at Culross, where she was cared for by [[Saint Serf]]; he became foster-father of her son, [[Saint Kentigern]] (or Mungo).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12732801.Mungo__the_saint_from_Culross/|title=Mungo, the saint from Culross|work= www.heraldscotland.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.scotlandspilgrimjourneys.com/faqs/question/19/|title=Scotland's Pilgrim Journeys |work=www.scotlandspilgrimjourneys.com }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.universitystory.gla.ac.uk/coat-of-arms/ |title=University of Glasgow :: Story :: The Coat of Arms |work=www.universitystory.gla.ac.uk |access-date=28 January 2017 |archive-date=14 November 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111114233345/http://www.universitystory.gla.ac.uk/coat-of-arms/ |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name="scotsman.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle/st-mungo-and-his-mysterious-deeds-1-466971|title=St Mungo and his mysterious deeds |work=www.scotsman.com}}</ref><ref name="Collins Enc">{{cite book|last1=Keay |first1=John and Julia |title=Collins Encyclopedia of Scotland |date=1994 |publisher=Collins |location=London |isbn=0-00-255082-2 |page=205 |edition=1st}}</ref>
