Merlin



Merlin is a legendary figure best known as the wizard featured in the Arthurian legend. The name "Merlin" derives from the Welsh Myrddin, the name of the bard Myrddin Wyllt , one of the chief sources for the later legendary figure.

A historian claims Merlin lived in what is now Ardery Street in Glasgow's west-end, with his wife Gwendolin. Merlin may have been a politician and scholar rather than a magician, and is buried near Dunipace, just south of Stirling
