I understand that Ingibjorg was the daughter of Earl Finn Arnason and that she was a widow when she married Malcolm II of Scotland in about 1059.

I would like to know, please, to whom she was first married.

You mean Malcolm III.

According to Burke's Guide to the Royal Family, Malcolm III's first
wife was Ingibiorg, daughter of Finn Arnesson of Vrjar, Jarl of
Halland, and widow of Thorfinn II, Earl of Caithness and Jarl of
Orkney.

The Complete Peerage (2nd edition) lists this Thorfinn, Jarl of Orkney
(in Norway) as 1st Earl of Caithness (in Scotland), so created by his
maternal grandfather Malcolm II about 1030.
