Abbey St Bathans
Perhaps suprisingly there is no abbey associated with Abbey St Bathans, a small cistercian priory of twelve nuns was founded in around 1200AD, destroyed by English troops in 1543 (as were many religious buildings throughout the borders). The priory featured a small church and some of the stonework within the current church came from the earlier building. Within an alcove inside the church the effigy of a prioress hints at the earler times of the site.
