About

Enjoy the peace of this beautiful Gothic abbey set in tree-fringed pastures where Mary Queen of Scots spent her last hours in Scotland. This was the major abbey of the Cistercian order, which was founded on austere principles but became very wealthy from farming - specially sheep farming. The abbey's surviving stonework includes beautiful carvings. Some access restrictions are in place. 1 Apr to 30 Sept: Daily, 10am to 4.30pm (last entry 4pm). 1 Oct to 31 Mar: Closed

Disabled Access at Dundrennan Abbey

Approach to site The route from the car park is 20m on a reinforced grass path. There is an 80mm step down through a 900mm gate. An alternate route over a gravel path into the cloister, avoids the gate. Visitor Centre Access to the visitor centre is over uneven wall footings, up three steps and over a short ramp with a 100mm step with a handrail. Monument The abbey nave and transepts have a well maintained short grass surface which is naturally firmer during dry weather. The main routes around the monument are gravel or grass. There is one step (150mm) onto the cloister path which is surfaced in gravel. There are numerous archaeological remains within the grass around the site which can be difficult to see.
