We all know, of course, that St Mungo is the patron saint of Glasgow. He lived about the 6th century AD and was sanctified for his good works and a few miracles which you may read about on Wikipedia,

I've never heard the story of the cup that kept falling apart before. I just love these stories of the olden days - it is important to keep our precious history alive and passed down through the generations.

(also, I recognise the name of the person that sent it in so I'm wondering if it is someone that I used to work with occasionally up here in Aberdeen)

The Bird that never flew.
The Tree that never grew.
The Bell that never rang.
The Fish that never swam.

And now

The Cup that never stuck .


Poor old St Mungo

Great story, never knew of "the cup that never stuck" before.

Cheers David.

Never even noticed it in the trophy cabinet when I did the tour. Great story
