Kinloss Abbey & Abbot's House
Moray
Founded in 1150, Kinloss Abbey is the largest Cistercian Abbey in the North of Scotland and stands in a picturesque setting approximately 3 miles East of Forres. The normally inaccessible Abbot’s House will be unlocked on Doors Open Day – don’t miss this opportunity to have a peek inside!
Tours of the Abbot's House will begin soon after opening, when sufficient visitors arrive. They last 15 to 20 mins and will go on all afternoon. They are guided by a Trustee and numbers are limited to 15 people. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
A guided tour of the Abbey, which also includes Abbot’s House will begin around 2pm and last for around an hour. The usually locked Sacristy will be open.
The Abbey is available for self-guided tours using the 3 fixed Information Boards at all times.
There is no requirement to pre-book on any of the tours.
