St Dwynwen: 5th century princess, Dwynwen, became patron saint of Welsh lovers, when God gave her the power to grant the wishes of true lovers. Although already engaged, Dwynwen fell hopelessly in love with Maelon. Knowing that the relationship could not last, an angel appeared in Dwynwen's dreams and froze Maelon, turning him into a block of ice. Heartbroken, Dwynwen turned to God and prayed that Maelon be thawed, and although she would never marry, her name became forever linked to the lovers of Wales.
According to legend, the two saints used to meet weekly near Llanerchymedd, near the centre of the island. St. Cybi would walk from Holyhead, facing the rising sun in the morning and the setting sun in the evening. St. Seiriol, travelling in the opposite direction, would have the sun to his back during his journey. They were thus known as Cybi the Dark (since he was tanned during his journey) and Seiriol the Fair.
St. Seiriol's Well is reached by walking up a path past a fish pond built by the monks. The well is enclosed within a small building, most of which is brick representing reconstruction in the 18th century; the flooring and lower parts of the wall are probably older. The foundations of another small building may be seen just next to the well (in the lower left of the picture above). This is popularly thought to be the remains of St. Seiriol's cell, where he would have lived, but there is no evidence to support this and its shape is not like other 6th century hermitages.

"The Gael" appears in two places in LOTM----during "The Kiss" and "Promontory". (The word gael means the Scot, that is, the Scotsman.)
