Glenluce Abbey
Glenluce, Newton Stewart, Wigtownshire
Glenluce Abbey gallery
Learn about 400 years of monastic life in the valley of the Water of Luce. Imagine the last monks during the Reformation who embraced the reformed religion and lived out their days in the cloister.
Soak up the same peace and solitude that the monks would have enjoyed in this secluded valley setting.
See the south transept, a well-preserved fragment of 13th-century Cistercian architecture. You can also find out about monastic life in the on-site museum.
Some parts of the abbey are closed while conservation works are ongoing.
