Entrance to Nunraw Abbey Nunraw started as a monastic grange owned by the nuns of Haddington. The last prioress bequeathed it to the Hepburn family who built a castle in the grounds. It was restored in 1863, and in 1945 it was taken over by Cistercian monks from Ireland. The monks have since built themselves a modern monastery, Sancta Maria Abbey, close by, and Nunraw Abbey is now a Christian retreat, education and conference centre.
