Pluscarden Priory was founded by King Alexander II in 1230, who asked the Valliscaulians, a Benedictine Order, to found a community here: part of Alexander's agenda was to demonstrate his authority over what had until recently been a disputed part of his kingdom. After the first monks came to Pluscarden in 1948 a stained glass workshop was established here and work by the monks can be found all over Scotland and even further afield. Dom Ninian Sloane and Br Gilbert Taylor were the main craftsmen involved.
