Abbaye d'Inchaffray
L'abbaye d'Inchaffray était située près du village de Madderty, à mi-chemin entre Perth et Crieff en Strathearn, en Écosse. Les seules traces visibles aujourd'hui sont un monticule de terre et quelques murs sur un terrain surélevé qui formait autrefois (avant le drainage) une île où était autrefois l'abbaye.
