(Talarican.)

Bishop of Sodor (including the western islands of Scotland), was probably of
purely Pictish origin, though the Aberdeen Breviary (1509) says he was born in
Ireland. The legend in the Breviary states that he was raised to the episcopate
by Pope Gregory; and Adam King's Kalendar (1558) styles him "bischop and
confess. in Scotland under King Solvathius". The Bollandists, following the
chronology of the Dalriadic kings as adopted by Pinkerton and Skene, place the
reign of Selvach from 706 to 726; and, as Gregory II was pope from 715 to 731,
conclude that Talarican became bishop about 720, a few years after the Columban
monks of Iona had been induced by St. Egbert to conform to the Roman Rite. He is
said to have offered the Holy Sacrifice every day, to have been noted for his
zeal and his mortified life, and to have converted many pagans in the northern
coasts of Scotland through his preaching and example. According to Dempster, he
died in the Island of Lismore. Many churches subsequently founded in the Diocese
of Moray, Ross, and Aberdeen were dedicated in his honour. His name is
perpetuated in the great district of Kiltarlity (Inverness-shire), the church
and cemetery of Ceilltarraglan (Skye), and wells still known as "St. Tarkin's"
at Fordyce, Kilsyth, and elsewhere.
