A cold day at Kinloss abbey - a photo on Flickriver

            This old ruin is stunning on cold frosty morning

The Abbey was founded in 1150 by King David I and was colonised by Cistercian monks of the Melrose Abbey. It received its Papul Bull from Pope Alexander III in 1174 and came under the protection of the Bishop of Moray in 1187. The Abbey was honoured in 1214 when the Monastery was selected to host the General Chapter of the Prelates of the Cistercian Order. As the success of Kinloss grew so the brethren were able to expand the Cistercian Order by the founding of two daughter houses at Culross and New Deir in 1217 and 1219 respectively. The Monastery obtained many endowments from the King and his successors and became one of the largest and wealthiest Cistercian houses in Scotland. For example, in 1312 Robert I (The Bruce) granted Abbey the fishing rights to the Findhorn and in 1362 Earl of Sutherland bestows upon the Abbey the Hospital and lands of John the Baptist of Hebnisden.
