Cauus or Caw of Alclud (see Places: Alcluith) was the father of Gildas. He lived in the upper Forth valley, perhaps 20 miles (30km) north of Glasgow. In about 495, he and his family moved to Wales. Legend gives him a second son, Cuil, who stayed in Scotland and died fighting against Arthur, but legend also makes Cauus a giant, because the word “cawr” in Welsh means “giant” (See Funeral Odes).
