Wow just wow. This is a must no matter how old you are. We are a couple and loved this experience. We took 2 alpacas on a walk for 20/30 minutes then came back to feed them all. They have a 7 week old called Barnaby that is just the Cutest as well. Then you make a great wee craft alpaca from the fur. The enthusiasm and love for these animals really comes across and you can see they are so well looked after. Already looking forward to coming back again.

4.5 based on 401 reviews
The abbey is closed for now, but you can view the iconic grounds and exterior. Arbroath Abbey is a testament to the dynamic piety of Scotland’s medieval monarchs. It was founded in 1178 by King William I ‘the Lion’ as a memorial to his childhood friend Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, who was murdered in 1170.

I always enjoy visiting ruins - abbey, castle, cathedral, etc. I find it fascinating to take photos of the ruins and to imagine what life was like inside and outside of the building in its day. Arbroath Abbey does not disappoint and there are Historical Scotland workers who are happy to share information with you. Being on the Historical Scotland registry it is free to pass holders and definitely worth a visit. Nice little gift shop with some beautiful HeatherGem pieces, and of course a toilet. Allow an hour or so to visit.
