We have a few, st Johnstone, St mirren, Celtic, the Rangers, Hibs. A bit of useless info Smithee, courtesy of Stuart Cosgrove. Perth was originally named St John's Toun Which became St Johnstone. Wiki During much of the later medieval period, it was known colloquially by its Scots-speaking inhabitants as "St John's Toun" or "Saint Johnstoun" because the church at the centre of the parish was dedicated to St John the Baptist.[9] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
