Baring-Gould’s sources: Adam King and Dempster as Gervad. David Camerarius on Nov. 9. Authority: — Aberdeen Breviary.] Gernad, or Gamat, a common Pictish name, is called by the Martyrologists, Gervad. He is said to have been an Irishman, who came into Moray and associated with himself some others desirous of following the eremitical life, and built a cell at Kenedor. During the wars between Scotland and England, an English soldier asked the saint to pray that his sins might be forgiven. The battle went against the English, and the soldier's head was cut off. S. Gemad sent his disciples to find the body, which was made known by a white bird settling on it, and a wolf peaceably brought the head. On another occasion a wolf which had slain one of the saint’s oxen, took its place, and finished the ploughing. A violent storm diverted a river into another stream, so as to bring down timber for the construction of his church. He withdrew to a cave in Elgin, about twelve feet square, called afterwards Holyman’s Head, commanding the sea. Within the last few years the cave has disappeared, the cliff having been quarried away. Above the cave was a spring of water called S. Gerardin's well. Bishop Forbes assigns to S. Gemad the date of 934, because the facts mentioned in his legend plainly indicate the invasion of the north by Athelstan. That monarch, in the reign of S. Constantine III., on the plea of a broken treaty, invaded Scotland by land and sea. In Stewart’s “Metrical Chronicle of Scotland,” and in the Martyrology of Dempster, and in Adam King's Kalendar Gemad is called bishop of Moray. But there is no evidence to support this. He does not occur in the lists of the bishops of Moray.
