Inchaffray Abbey is a medieval Augustinian monastery situated in Perthshire, Scotland, founded in the early twelfth century as a house of canons regular. The abbey occupied a strategic ecclesiastical position in central Scotland and was endowed with substantial lands, making it one of the significant religious establishments of its region during the medieval period. The site preserves remains of the monastic complex, including structural elements that reflect the typical arrangement of a medieval abbey, though much of the original building fabric has been lost to time and subsequent activity. The monastery functioned as both a spiritual and administrative centre until the Scottish Reformation brought about the decline of monastic life in the sixteenth century.
