Best Answer

Pluscarden was originally a rather late Valliscaullian Priory built around 1230, funded by the Scottish king Alexander III. The major period of monastic foundations had been during the 1100s.

The Valliscaullians were a strange mixture of Carthusian austerity and Benedictine fellowship and moderation. They only existed in three monastic houses in Scotland. At the time of the Reformation in Scotland, Pluscarden fell into disuse and disrepair; it was only in 1948 that much of the site was rebuilt and re-established as a monastery, which remains in use today - it was elevated to Abbey status in 1974.
