Not much here to be honest but what there is has been augmented by info boards and a free guide is available from the nearby archives. It's free with parking available. If you're in the area then pop in.

Very small, but that was fortunate as although Google says it’s open 24 hours the gate said it closes at 5:30 and I got there at 5pm. And it was raining. Still a pleasant enough 10 minute wander

Beautiful, well kept. A short walk from the car park

Restenneth Priory was a monastic house of Augustinian founded by Jedburgh Abbey with the patronage of King Máel Coluim IV (Malcolm) in 1153, with speculation that it was built on the former Pictish church dedicated to Saint Peter by King Nechtan mac Der-Ilei of Circinn (ancient Kingdom). Now in a ruinous state, the Priory was once built in a square around a cloister with refectory, dormitory, choir, nave, tower and spire.

Beautiful spot, but go on the weekend when the nearby council depot isn't working as you can hear the diggers if the wind is in the right direction. Otherwise its a lovely quiet restful place.
