Oran of Iona was a 6th-century monk who lived in Ireland and Scotland. Born in County Meath, he spent decades in the Silvermines area of County Tipperary, where he established a church. He was a close associate of Saint Columba and was one of twelve individuals who traveled with him to the island of Iona in 563. As the first Christian to be interred on Iona, he remains a significant figure in the history of the monastery founded by Columba.
