Hinba ((スコットランド・ゲール語:'isles of the sea')) is an island in Scotland of unknown location that was the site of a small monastery associated with the Columban church on Iona.〔 Although a number of details are known about the monastery and its early abbots, and various anecdotes dating from the time of Columba of a mystical nature have survived, modern scholars are divided as to its whereabouts. The islands of Eileach an Naoimh and Jura are the most likely candidates, although Seil, Canna and Oronsay are also possibilities. ==Founding and early administration== Columba (521–597), the first patron saint of Scotland, arrived in the kingdom of Dál Riata in modern Scotland from his homeland of Ireland in 563, and in the same year was granted land on Iona. This became the centre of his evangelising mission to the Picts. The Celtic monastic system made use of isolated retreat centres they called 'deserts' and there were two or more smaller monastic settlements associated with Iona.〔 Mag Luigne on Tiree was one, Hinba the other, the latter being a favourite destination of Columba's for a period of contemplation.〔 There may also have been similar outlying colonies on ''Elene Insula'' (off Islay) and ''Scia'' (Skye).〔Ireland, William W. (9 March 1903) "(A Visit to Eileach an Naoimh (Hinba) )". (pdf) ''Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland.〕 St. Ernan, Abbot of Hinba was an uncle of St. Columba and one of the twelve who accompanied Columba from Ireland to Iona. He was appointed head of the community which Columba established on Hinba.〔("Ernan'' ) Catholic Encyclopedia. Retrieved 9 December 2007.〕 Baithéne mac Brénaind was the second abbot of Iona (597–600), and known to have administered the monasteries of both Hinba and Mag Luigne before succeeding to this position.〔Sharpe, Richard (1995) ''Adomnán of Iona: Life of St. Columba''.
