A parish to the northeast of Forfar in Angus, Restenneth is noted for its ruined
priory which was probably a Pictish foundation. It was probably founded by King
David I (c.1080 - 1153). Its square tower with octagonal spire forms a prominent
landmark. From the 12th century until the Reformation it was an Augustinian
priory.
