Description
Pluscarden Abbey stands in the shadow of several ancient trees (6mi/9.6km southwest of Elgin). It was founded in 1230 for members of the Valliscaulian Order. Like the cathedral in Elgin, it was destroyed by the "Wolf of Badenoch" in 1390. Benedictine monks settled here until 1560. Followers of the Benedictine order returned in 1943 and restored the ruins.
