He became the patron saint of the Picts in the 8th century, when, it is thought, his bones were brought to a town on the east coast of Scotland, later called St Andrews. According to tradition, he was killed in Greece on a cross in the shape of an X, and so this cross is on the Scottish flag. Andrew is also the patron saint of Greece and Russia.
