Glenluce Abbey

Dumfries & Galloway

From £2.30 per ticket

Founded in 1192 by Roland, Earl of Galloway the magnificent ruins of this Cistercian Abbey are some of the best preserved in Scotland.

Due to access restrictions in place as a precautionary measure while we undertake high level masonry inspections, there is currently no visitor access to the abbey. The shop, museum, and grounds grounds are accessible Monday & Tuesday. Find out more about our conservation work.

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. The cloister is less well preserved but the overall layout of the domestic quarters can be followed. 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.

Our sites sometimes need to close at short notice due to adverse weather, essential maintenance work, and other reasons outwith our control. Check for short notice closures. We advise checking ahead if the forecast is poor or you are making a long journey. If you have an urgent enquiry related to a site closure and your booking over the weekend or a bank holiday please get in touch with ticketing@hes.scot
