Machan was a twelfth century Scottish saint. He was educated in Ireland and was ordained as a bishop in Rome. He is known for his missionary work around Clachan of Campsie (or Glen Campsie), near Glasgow. Machan built a small chapel at the bottom of the glen. After his death, in 1175 a church was built over his grave. Most information about St Machan is lost.
