In the [[Middle Ages]] the [[Cistercian]] [[Coupar Angus Abbey]] was one of [[Scotland]]'s most important monasteries, founded by [[Malcolm IV]] (1153–65) in the 1160s.  Of the abbey, only architectural fragments, preserved in the 19th-century parish church (which is probably on the site of the monastic church), or built into houses and walls throughout the town, survive, along with part of one of its gatehouses.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.scottish-places.info/towns/townfirst146.html|title=Coupar Angus|work=Gazetteer for Scotland|access-date=24 July 2018}}</ref>
