Acta Sanctorum

Triduana, a pious woman, lived at Rescobie near Forfar in Angus, but her beauty attracted the attentions of a King of the Picts named Nectan.

She questioned the messenger sent to her by the Prince, and hearing that he
was chiefly attracted by the transcendent beauty of her eyes, she replied,
" What he asks of me he shall obtain "; and retiring into a secret place she
plucked out her eyes, transfixed them onto a thorn, and held them out to
the messenger, saying, " Accept what your prince desires "

Afterwards, she was associated with curing the blind, she spent her later years in Restalrig and was buried there when she died.
