There is absolutely no archaeological evidence that suggests St. Brendan ever made it anywhere in North America. The first evidence of Europeans in the New World is the remains of a Norse settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland, Canada, dated to around AD 1000.
It's an interesting take on Columbus, though I doubt he was Scottish.
