The monastery at Abernethy was situated on the north side of the churchyard and part of its walls were still standing c. 1780. Nothing now remains.
A Culdee house here is mentioned in 1189-99. It became an Angustinian priory in 1272-3, a college of secular canons before 1345, and was probably dissolved in 1563 or 1567.
