Inchaffray Abbey, Medieval abbey ruins in Madderty, Scotland
The remains of Inchaffray Abbey consist of stone walls and an earth mound situated on elevated ground that previously formed an island.
Founded in 1201 by Earl Gilbert of Strathearn and his wife Maud, the abbey was established to honor their first son Gilchrist who died in 1198.
The abbey maintained religious manuscripts and educated local clergy while serving as a center for Augustinian practices in medieval Scotland.
Visitors can observe the remaining gable wall of the abbey from the public road, as the structure stands on private land in Perth and Kinross.
The monks of Inchaffray Abbey engineered the Pow of Inchaffray, a drainage system that transformed the surrounding marshland into usable terrain.
