Bethóc ingen Maíl Coluim meic Cináeda was the eldest daughter of King Máel Coluim mac Cináeda, King of Scots, who had no known sons.
The strongest hereditary claim of succession to the Scottish throne therefore passed through Bethóc. Approximately 1000, Princess Bethóc married Crínán, Abbot of Dunkeld. The first son of this marriage was Donnchad I, who ascended to the throne of Scotland in 1034. Early writers have asserted that Máel Coluim also designated Donnchad as his successor under the rules of tanistry because there were other possible claimants to the throne.
It is possible that Bethóc had previously been married to Jarl Sigurd the Stout of Orkney, and to Findláech, the Mormaer of Moireabh.
She is not to be confused with Bethóc ingen Domnaill Bain meic Donnchada.

Comment
Original in the private archives of the Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry at Drumlanrig Castle in Dumfriesshire. This charter records a donation made by Radulf and his wife Bethoc of the one ploughgate of land in Rughechester, Roxburghshire, with common pasture of the toun, granted at the establishment of Jedburgh Abbey in 1147. The lands of Bethocrule (now called Bedrule), i.e. the lands on the river Rule of Bethoc, and Rughechester (now called Ruecastle), were Bethoc’s rather than Radulf’s and it seems that Radulf was Bethoc’s second husband. Her first husband, Uchtred of Tynedale, a native Northumbria, was the father of Hextilda, wife of Richard Comyn, founder of the Comyn dynasty. Hextilda’s mother, Bethoc, is said to have been the daughter of Donald Bane, King of Scots, who died in 1097. There is no evidence to suggest Radulf inherited the lands of Bethoc, who predeceased him, rather her lands passed to Richard Comyn, Hexitilda’s husband and grandfather of another Richard Comyn, believed to have married Affrica, daughter of Lord Edgar of Nithsdale.
