Baldred of Tyninghame was an 8th-century Northumbrian abbot and hermit who lived in East Lothian. Often called the Apostle of the Lothians, he is believed to have established a monastery at Tyninghame. While some historical accounts suggest an Irish origin, he served within the diocese of Lindisfarne. He spent time as a recluse, residing in locations such as a cave at Seacliff Beach and a small hermitage on the Bass Rock, where he eventually died in 756.
