Pluscarden Abbey
A very quite and peaceful place, where people can stay and contemplate life. Monks live and work there & hold regular services in the church, whichhas been rebuilt after falling into disrepair. The church has lovely stained glass windows & although plain, is atmospheric. It has a car park and well worth a visit!

Another item ticked off our places to visit list. Still as beautiful as I remember. Such a peaceful place set in stunning surroundings. Inhabited by Benedictine monks, this is a working Abbey.There are plenty of wildlife to see in the grounds so keep your eyes and ears peeled.There looks to be renovations planned to the site. There is plenty of parking and picnic tables available. Entry and parking is free but I am sure they would appreciate any donations to help them with day yo day and the renovation costs.Fully recommend a visit to see something a little different.

Such a beautiful, tranquil place of peace. Interesting display boards around tth free grounds and inside the vestibule, giving the history of the Abbey and detailing some of the daily life and work of the present monks.

This is one of the most special places in the world. An absolute must see if you are in Moray or if you are curious about the life of benedictine monks.

A beautiful building from tje 13th century, partly destroyed during the Reformation, partly restored in the 20th century. It is an active monastry with monks living on the grounds. You can visit parts of the buildings, and attend the services. There is a small shop that sells some local produce and some religious items. The Abby lies in a valley surrounded by forests. Well worth a visit

The Abbey is beautiful ., peaceful and an oppertunity for some quiet reflection. Nice wee shop to buy some fresh honey and a few religious souvenirs, but also some artwork. We missed the services but looking forward to a return visit.

A very special place for all faiths but especially if you're Catholic. The Latin mass was beautiful and touching. The monks were friendly and very welcoming. A serene place to reflect in peace and harmony. A beautiful place to visit. A definite must.
