They reputedly built nothing more than a small chapel and kept the balance for themselves. The Earl took the matter to the Bishop of Glasgow for arbitration and, winning his case, forced the monks to build a proper abbey. Name The origin of the abbey's name refers to the ancient ''Cross of Riaghail'' (Latin form St Regulus) that stood on the spot.

History Crossraguel Abbey was founded in 1244 by Duncan, 1st Earl of Carrick. The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
