I visited only once many years ago. I got so much from that visit. I was blessed that day for sure 🙏 I now can share with my best friend . We often hear on Pray as you go, the monks from Pluscardin singing. Beautiful.
Thank you Sophie. A lovely video. I first visited in 1972 and fell under the Dom Maurus spell. We corresponded until his memory started to fail. He was a huge inspiration to me. The nearest person to a saint that I've met.

What a lovely thing to say 🙏
A fantastic film, thanks for taking the time to inform us all about Pluscarden Abbey. Sadly the cat, Baxter, has since sadly died aged 19 years.
I have very wonderful memories of staying for 2 weeks in the early 80's and then again for two further visits in the 90's for a week each respectively it was contemplative,relaxing unique and surpassing anything ever experienced or enjoyed before or since.
Fascinating! History, restoration, prayer life of the monks.. a great inspiration. Enjoyed the video and would be great to have another one. Thank you. Philip Vanderlin, OB
Thank you for this video. I visited there in July 2016

You say the big bell was brought from a place called Lantoni. Is this Lantoni Croatia? Kind regards LM

Why do some Benedictines wear white habits and others wear black habits? I thought Benedictine monks just wore black. In some other orders, novices wear white, but in Pluscarden Abbey’s case, does this depend on what a brother does, e.g. their work or their status in the abbey?

Each monastery has their own customs. For simplicity sake they may choose a fabric with no dye.
I want to be a monk, but not religiously

It is a beautiful life. The challenge for those without faith is what rule will you follow? What will hold you together?
