The Kinloss Abbey Trust was created in 2003 as the natural development of the Kinloss Abbey Working Group put together in the summer of 2002 by The Moray Council. The group was formed to look at ways of raising public awareness to the existence of the Abbey, to look at the general condition of the Abbey ruins and to consider ways to preserve the monument for posterity.
There are general members of the Trust known as the ‘Friends of Kinloss Abbey’. General membership is open to anyone, details on the Friends Page.
