Kinloss Abbey (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Kinloss Abbey is a Cistercian abbey approximately 3 miles east of Forres in the county of Moray, Scotland. The abbey was founded in 1150 by King David I and was first colonised by monks from Melrose Abbey. It received its Papal Bull from Pope Alexander III in 1174, and later came under the protection of the Bishop of Moray in 1187. The abbey went on to become one of the largest and wealthiest religious houses in Scotland, receiving the valuable salmon fishing rights on the River Findhorn from Robert the Bruce in 1312, subsequently renewed by James I and James IV.
