Berchan

Saint Berchan was a monk at Iona in Scotland and later bishop of Kirkwall in the Orkneys. He seems to have died in Ireland, around 840, and to have been buried at Inishmore in Galway Bay. No other reliable information about his life survives. He is a saint of the undivided Church, commemorated on 6 April (new style; 19 April in the old style).
