Beauly Priory was a Valliscaulian monastic community located at 'Insula de Achenbady', now Beauly, founded approx 1230. It is not known for certain who the founder was.

A historic priory. Nice for a walk around and in the centre of Beauly with pubs and cafes nearby. Made famous by the recent Outlander series.
