Saint Valentine's unusual link to Scotland as a small church contains his bones

Valentine's Day is here and love is in the air.

While most couples' minds will be on intimate dinners and romantic getaways, the history of Valentine's Day is fascinating and well worth learning about.

As its name suggests, today's holiday originated as a Christian feast day honouring one or two early martyrs named Saint Valentine. Also referred to as Feast of Saint Valentine, February 14 has since become a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance and love.
