Lincluden Collegiate Church, Medieval church ruins in Dumfries, Scotland
The stone remains of Lincluden Collegiate Church stand near the confluence of Cluden Water and River Nith, featuring Gothic architectural elements and ornate carvings.
Founded in 1160 as a Benedictine nunnery by Uchtred of Galloway, the church transformed into a collegiate institution in 1389 under Archibald the Grim's direction.
The church structure contains the monumental tomb of Princess Margaret, Lady of Galloway, along with seating areas for priests and ceremonial washing stations.
Visitors can reach the church ruins by following a footpath from Cairn Circle using the postal code DG2 0DG, though directional signs are limited.
French master mason John Morrow created the church's east window, which mirrors the design of Paisley Abbey and demonstrates medieval Scottish-French architectural connections.
