Incholm Abbey

This wonderful 12th century Abbey sits on an island in the Firth of Forth. A firth is an estuary and the Forth is a river.

Careful is the key word here, up and down.


The monks in the abbey began their day at 1:30am with prayer and continued until 6pm.


                   I would imagine they knew their Heavenly Father well because of their devotion.
This is the sanctuary where the monks would have eaten in total silence. It was only
broken by the reading of scripture.

What a beautiful, peaceful bay. We loved sitting on the bench and hearing the
sea gulls ad watching the water.
This is where the young woman lived 5 of the 7 days that she works. No TV, or internet access. So she loves Family History!
