Beschreibung:

A community of catholic monks live here in the only medieval British monastery still being used for its original purpose. The abbey is situated in a quiet glen (valley) in north-east Scotland, six miles south-west of Elgin. Men and women of all faiths are welcome to make a retreat there and to share in the prayer and work of the community, or simply to rest and renew their focus on what is most important.

A monastery was established here in 1230 by King Alexander II. In 1454 it became a Priory by Papal Bull. However over time it fell into disrepair and by 1680 it was a ruin.

In 1948 restoration started and by 1974 Abbey status was re-established. Today a thriving community of Benedictine monks live here and it's not unusual for individuals or small groups of them to be seen walking on the lanes and footpaths of the area.
