Coldingham Priory is a Benedictine religious house founded in the early twelfth century in Berwickshire, southeastern Scotland. The surviving claustral remains represent substantial architectural testimony to monastic life, including stonework and structural elements characteristic of medieval priory planning. The site experienced significant disruption during the Scottish Reformation and subsequent centuries, which accounts for its fragmentary condition today. The surviving architecture provides important evidence of monastic organisation and construction methods employed during the medieval period in the Scottish Borders region.
