September 2021 @ 11:00am Tongland Abbey was founded in 1218 by Alan, Lord of
Galloway, for the Premonstratensian order. Very little of it survives above
ground, although it appears to have been an extensive site. Since 2016, a
small community archaeology project has been trial-trenching the garden of the
adjacent former manse aiming to find evidence to indicate the location, extent
and probable layout of the abbey. Open Days 7/9/21 and 11/9/21 only. Parking
on-site. Free. Address: Mansewood, Tongland, Kirkcudbright, DG6 4NA Email
