Scone Abbey (originally, Scone Priory) was a house of Augustinian canons based at Scone, Perthshire (Gowrie), Scotland. Varying dates for the foundation have been used ranging between 1114 and 1122. However, historians have long believed that Scone was a center of the early medieval Christian cult, the Culdees (Céli Dé in medieval Irish) meaning "Companions of God".
