[edit] Clancy versus the MacQueens: the interim result

Barbara Yorke (Conversion of Britain, 2006) seems to prefer Clancy's take to that of the MacQueens c. 1990. If nothing else, Clancy's negative toponymic evidence line (where are the churches dedicated to "St Nynia" ?) is hard to beat. Clancy is ahead on points at least.

I think Barrow too has his reservations, but even the people at the Whithorn Trust seem to be behind Clancy, Fraser, Broun, et al. The balance of current consensus seems firmly behind the Uinniau view. MacQueen republished his book in an attempt to refute it, but it didn't really work.

Both http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_calendar_of_saints and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_26

link to this page, saying St Ninian's day is August 26th, yet this page itself makes no mention of this.
