Fearn Abbey
Included in Collections: Clan Ross TimelineObject Description
The original Fearn Abbey was established during the reign of Alexander II by Premonstratensians from Whithorn Priory, a monastery of white canons, who provided the first abbot. The Abbey was originally settled by Fearchar, 1st Earl of Ross, in the 1220s but was moved to the southeast during the time of the second abbot, Malcolm of Nigg. The Abbey which is still in use today was within the heartland of the earls of Ross and the later Clan Ross Chiefs, many of whom are buried here.
