St Serf's Inch Priory, Medieval priory on St Serf's Inch in Loch Leven, Scotland.
The stone remains of St Serf's Inch Priory stand on an island within Loch Leven, containing foundations of a 12th-century church and additional structures.
King David I of Scotland transformed the existing Céli Dé community into an Augustinian priory in 1150, linking it with St Andrews Cathedral Priory.
Prior Andrew de Wyntoun created historical chronicles at this location, including references to King Macbeth that influenced Shakespeare's later works.
Access to the archaeological site requires coordination with local authorities, as the location sits on an island within Loch Leven National Nature Reserve.
Archaeological excavations in 2017 revealed evidence of an ancient fish pond and multiple burial sites dating back to the 12th century.
