From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baithéne mac Brénaind was the second abbot of Iona (597-600), and the direct successor of Columba himself. He was the cousin of Columba, and had administered the monasteries of both Hinba and Mag Luigne (in Tiree) before succeeding the saint to Iona. He died around 600.
