Kinloss Abbey, founded around 1150 by Cistercian monks, reflects a rich historical tapestry influenced by royal patronage and subsequent wealth, which allowed for the construction of notable Gothic architecture following a devastating fire in the 13th century. The abbey, once a significant landowner and a center of monastic life, has since been absorbed into a cemetery, creating a unique juxtaposition of historical and contemporary memorials.

Today, visitors can explore the remnants of the south transept and sacristy, while intriguing information signs provide context to the site's layout and its role in Scottish history. The surrounding area features additional heritage attractions, highlighting Scotland's storied past from prehistoric sites to grand castles.
