Hellen of Haldane is an abbess in a Celtic scriptorium in Abernathy in the Gaelic world 10th Century.  This scriptorium has a proud calligraphic tradition reaching back to the 7th century Celtic missionaries bringing Columba’s message from Iona.  Abernethy is an extremely potent name in Scottish history. In ancient times it was the religious centre for the Southern Picts and later their political capital and home of their king.

At the monasteries, the refugees received food and lodging free of charge. Many stayed on, loaning their books to the libraries of the religious, who as lovers of learning gratefully copied even secular Greek and Roman works along with the Christian texts.  At the newly established monasteries hugging the coastline from Iona and Lindisfarne and heading west in a motherhouse chain, young scribes worked from dawn till dusk, preparing pigments and animal skins for the scribe's quill pen.

The Haldane Clan was a powerful clan of nobles and patrons of the scriptoriums.  The Book of Deer was created 14 miles from Abernathy and is linked to the Haldanes.
