Botel Abbey &
New Whithorn Minster
The Archdiocese of the British Isles & Ireland

Welcome to Our Website
The Monastic Brotherhoods of Saints Alban and Æthelwold & Our Lady and Saint Ninian are monastic communities within the Archdiocese of the British Isles and Ireland of the Patriarchate of Antioch. The monastics have as a particular apostolate, the aim to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the Orthodox Church to the British People in a way that makes the best use of our own venerable heritage and apostolic tradition.
We are centred at our new Cathedral Church in Dumfries, Scotland, as well as at nearby Buittle Castle.
