Coupar Angus

Coupar Angus is a town in Perthshire, Scotland, located 5 miles south of Blairgowrie. In the Middle Ages it was the site of the major Cistercian abbey of Coupar Angus, one of Scotland's most important monasteries, founded by Malcolm IV in the 1160s. Of the abbey, only architectural fragments, preserved in the 19th century parish church survive, along with part of one of its gatehouses.
