This site is closed for now. We’re working hard to gradually reopen the places you love while making sure the experience is safe for everyone. Find out more about our reopening plans. Founded in 1192 by Roland, Earl of Galloway the magnificent ruins of this Cistercian Abbey are some of the best preserved in Scotland. A fantastic example of a well-preserved fragment of 13th century Cistercian church architecture, Glenluce Abbey occupies a site of great natural beauty in the tranquil and secluded valley of the Water of Luce. The remains include an impressive early 16th century chapter house and a museum of monastic life showcasing the fascinating collection of artefacts found during clearance work. Over the years the abbey's historic visitors have included Robert the Bruce, James IV and Mary Queen of Scots. Follow in their footsteps as you explore the ruins and the thought provoking setting.

Lovely to explore this area and find such a historic spot. It was so lovely that I sat and painted it. Port Patrick is a lovely little sea front town. Wander the back streets to find these hidden gems
6. St Ninian's Chapel

Reviewed By JohnHenery - Bo'ness, United Kingdom
The chapel ruin itself was built on the spot where St Ninian landed & brought christianity to Scotland - a story overshadowed by the St Columba/Iona connection. It's certainly a very atmospheric, calm & remote spot with fantastic views over to the Lake District, The Isle of Man to the south & the Mountains of Mourne & Mull of Galloway to the west. A beautiful spot.

On the edge of a housing estate, this church stands magnificently despite being in ruins, it covers a vast area and truly is breathtaking, visiting at dusk made it especially appealing
