What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Kilwinning Abbey as Abbey (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Kilwinning Abbey, located in Ayrshire, Scotland, was a Cistercian monastery founded in the 12th century and dedicated to the Holy Trinity. The site is associated with Saint Serf, a 6th-century Irish monk and missionary, and local tradition links it to healing rituals and pilgrimages, though specific cures or folklore connected to the abbey are not well documented.
