Sveti Ninijan
„Ninian” preusmjerava ovdje. Za ostala značenja, v. Ninian (razvrstavanje).Sveru Ninian (Saint Ninian, tradicionalno 4-5. vijek, odnosno 360-432) je kršćanski svetac koji se prvi put spominje u 8. vijeku kao rani misionar među Piktima u današnjoj Škotskoj. Zbog toga je poznat i kao Apostol Južnih Pikta, te su mu posvećeni brojna svetišta u dijelovima Škotske koji se vezuju uz piktsku prošlost, kroz Škotske nizine i u dijelovima Engleske sa northubrimjskom prošlošču. U škotskoj Ninian je poznat kao Ringan, a kao Trynnian u Sjevernoj Engleskoj.

Ninijanovo glavno svetište je Whithorn u Gallowayu, gdje se povezuje sa crkvom Candida Casa (latinski 'Bijela kuća'). Ništa se ne zna o njegovom nauku, a nema ni pouzdanih informacija o njegovom životu.
Ne postoji čvrsta veza između Ninijana i jedne osobe koja se pojavljuje u autentičnim historijskim zapisima, iako je u posljednje vrijeme jedan od kandidata postao Finnian of Moville.
