Old Photograph Coldingham Priory Church Scotland
Old photograph of the Priory Church in Coldingham, Berwickshire, Scotland. Coldingham Priory was founded in the reign of King David I of Scotland, although his older brother and predecessor King Edgar of Scotland had granted the land of Coldingham to the Church of Durham, England, in 1098, and a church was constructed by him and presented in 1100. The first prior of Coldingham is on record by the year 1147, although it is likely that the foundation was much earlier. The earlier Columban Abbey was founded by Saint Æbbe around 640 AD. Although the monastery was largely destroyed by Oliver Cromwell in 1648, some remains of the priory exist.
