Glenluce Abbey is a historic ruin located in Wigtownshire, Scotland. Founded in 1190 by the Cistercian monks, it served as a religious community for several centuries. The abbey is known for its impressive architecture, including remnants of its church and cloisters, which reflect the typical Cistercian style. The abbey was abandoned in the 17th century due to the Protestant Reformation, which led to the decline of monastic life in Scotland. Today, Glenluce Abbey is a scheduled ancient monument, attracting visitors interested in its rich history and beautiful surroundings.
