The ruins of Balmerino Abbey are a fine example of a 13th-century Cistercian monastery. The Abbey was founded in 1229, and became a dwelling house of the lords Balmerino after secularisation in 1603.
School groups are welcome by arrangement through Hill of Tarvit Mansionhouse. Talks can be arranged on history, crafts and wild herbs, as used by the monks.
