Life
Colman of Orkney was bishop of the Orkney Islands in Scotland from 994, and he died around 1010. He is remembered on 6 June.
Our brief source shows him only as bishop of those islands, around 994 to 1010. He is sometimes confused with another Colman, abbot of Dromore in Ireland, who died in the 6th century. One source says he is honored from ancient times by Catholics and Orthodox as a saint; no Orthodox act showing this has been found.
He is a local saint of the West, from the undivided Church; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known. The information is scant and uncertain.
Commemorated the same day June 6
