The Scalan
Faith : Connection : History
Welcome to The Scalan. Located in the Braes of Glenlivet on the Glenlivet Estate in the North East of Scotland, this secluded spot is where the Catholic Faith survived during a time when it was forbidden and where people worked and lived with the land and left behind their stories written onto the fabric of the buildings.
Our Story
The story of the Scalan is one of secrecy, of faith and connection to the land. It involves 'heather priests' and the lives of everyday people who commented on the weather, loves won and lost, and
The Scalan site can be visited year round. Be prepared for a walk from the car park and please be aware that this site is not normally staffed. We do have specific open days where the whole site is opened and volunteers are onsite to share more of the stories of this special site.
