About

Fearn Abbey is a abbey in highlands. Established 1201. (Monastery in Highland, Scotland.) Wikipedia notes: "Fearn Abbey – known as 'The Lamp of the North' – has its origins in one of Scotland's oldest pre-Reformation church buildings. Part of the Church of Scotland and located to the southeast of Tain, Ross-shire, the historic building ceased to be used for church services in 2023, with remaining local church services and meetings to be held in the adjacent modern church hall.".
