Coupar Angus Abbey, Medieval Cistercian monastery ruins in Perth and Kinross, Scotland.
The remaining stone fragments of Coupar Angus Abbey include sections of the gatehouse and tomb pieces incorporated into the local parish church walls.
King Malcolm IV established this Cistercian monastery between 1161 and 1162, which grew to become the wealthiest religious house of its order in Scotland.
The abbey functioned as a center of religious learning and manuscript production, housing over 24 monks who maintained extensive agricultural lands.
Visitors can observe the preserved sections of the monastery near Queen Street, where architectural elements reveal medieval Scottish construction techniques.
The mysterious Ley tunnel, rediscovered in 1982 by a mason, extends approximately two and a half miles from the abbey grounds before becoming inaccessible.
