View on MapRestenneth Priory was once a sacred place of enduring importance – the site of an ancient church which enjoyed royal favour.
The earliest masonry at Restenneth Priory dates to the 1100s, though it may well stand on the site of an ancient Pictish church built around 710.
Alexander I had the annals of Iona transferred to the priory in the 1100s, and Robert the Bruce buried his young son Prince John here in the 1300s.
