Inchmahome Priory

Inchmahome Priory is on an island and is reached by a small motor boat. The boat holds 12 people and regularly shuttles to and from the island.

We are currently carrying out essential conservation works at the priory which means fencing and equipment is visible in some areas. This vital work ensures future generations can enjoy this site and helps to keep traditional skills alive.

The boat leaves from the pier by the boat shed at Port of Menteith, approximately 15 miles west of Stirling. Parking is available.

Approach to the site

A small motor boat ferries visitors to and from the island. Visitors must be able to climb into and out of the boat. Entry to the boat shed is over a low wooden threshold. The piers on the mainland and on the island have uneven stone paving.

The ticket office and shop is accessed via two shallow steps.

What to expect at the site

The island is relatively level, but the main routes around it are not surfaced. Paths are rough and uneven. They are broken up in places by tree roots and large stones.

The routes around the priory ruins are grass and gravel. These are firmer during periods of dry weather. The nave is entered via a low threshold. The thresholds to the cloister are slightly taller.

Visitors with limited mobility can view about half of the church, cloister and refectory areas but may be unable to enter the presbytery, sacristy and warming house. The large, open area around the priory gives good views of the buildings.

Toilets

The toilets by the reception area are up five earthen steps. An accessible toilet is on the mainland, at the Lake of Menteith Hotel. 

The water supply on the island is unsuitable for drinking. Hand sanitiser is available.
