Dundrennan Abbey, Monastery ruins in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.
The north transept features intact archways and vaulted roofs, while the chapter house maintains substantial walls and detailed architectural elements.
Founded in 1142 by King David I and Lord Fergus of Galloway, monks from Rievaulx Abbey in Yorkshire constructed this Cistercian monastery.
The preserved tombstone lids display medieval carved designs, including a notable effigy depicting the scene of an abbot with his murderer.
The abbey opens daily from April through September, between 10 AM and 4:30 PM, with admission tickets available at the entrance.
Mary Queen of Scots spent her final night in Scotland at this abbey in May 1568 before crossing to England toward her imprisonment.
