Life

The Martyrology of Donegal names Beighin of Ia Coluim Cille under 12 August (old style). He is described as son of Fachtna, abbot of the monastery of Colum Cille, Iona; Donegal gives the year 651. Among the calendars consulted, only the Martyrology of Donegal records the name. No life or deeds are recorded, and the cult stayed local, without synodal canonization.
