While living in Edinburgh, I was inspired by a story about the Scots' local saint, St. Triduana. Rather than marrying a Pictish King who was in love with her eyes, she pulled out her eyes and spiked them with a thorn vine and sent them to him. She did this so that she could dedicate her life to God.
