Perth Charterhouse, Carthusian monastery in Perth, Scotland.
The monastery complex included individual hermit cells arranged around a central courtyard, following traditional Carthusian architectural principles of the fifteenth century.
King James I of Scotland established Perth Charterhouse in 1429 using funds from his personal treasury and a portion of ransom payment from England.
The monastery served as a royal mausoleum where King James I, Queen Joan Beaufort, and Queen Margaret Tudor received their final rest.
The location of the former priory remains uncertain as no structures survive above ground, with modern developments now occupying the historical area.
Perth Charterhouse stands as the sole Carthusian monastery ever founded in Scotland, operating for 130 years until its destruction during the Protestant Reformation.
