Remains of former Cistercian Abbey
The gatehouse section is all that remains of the Cistercian Abbey. It was founded in 1164 by Malcolm IV. It was destroyed during the Reformation and much of the stonework was used to construct buildings in and around Coupar Angus.

Remains of Cupar Abbey
Cistercian Cupar Abbey was founded by King Malcolm IV in the 12th. century before becoming one of the most important monasteries in Scotland. Note the spelling - Cupar. In the 17th. century the area was known as Coupin but there was still confusion with the Angus town and Cupar in Fife. Finally the town was renamed Couper Angus to distinguish it from its Fife namesake.

Watch House Abbey Church Coupar Angus
The roughly octagonal building 0f this Watch House, was erected by public subscription in 1822. However, it re-uses medieval fragments of masonry. In particular there is a frieze at the top of the wall appears to be sections of the Abbey’s massive fluted columns. Inside, there is a fireplace to warm the men who kept watch through the night for body snatchers, who posed a threat particularly in the first three decades of the 19th century.
