The substantial ruins of a Tironensian monastery, founded by William the Lion in 1178, who is buried in Arbroath Abbey. Arbroath Abbey is famously associated with the Declaration of Arbroath of 1320, which asserted Scotland's independence from England. Parts of the abbey church and domestic buildings remain, notably the gatehouse range and the abbot's house.
