Scope and Content At the centre of the photo is Beauly Priory, founded as a Valliscaulian monastery in about 1230 by one of the Bisset family who were lords of the Aird to the west of Inverness. It later came under the protection of the Frasers of Lovat, who made some additions to the buildings. Towards the end of the Middle Ages the priory underwent a revival under the leadership of Robert Reid, abbot of Kinloss. By that time it had transferred its allegiance from the Valliscaulian to Cistercian order. It suffered at the hands of the Reformation in the 17th century and is now a ruin in the care of Historic Environment Scotland. The Beauly river dockside, not listed in the archaeological record, can be seen as the white strip towards the bottom of the photo.
