History Ruins

This looks to be Jim Zuckerman's photo. Can't say I love what he has done with the saturation and HDR on this, but that's a matter of taste.

This ruin is a bit over 800 years old, and the combination of soft sandstone as a building material and harsh weather much of the year is pretty rough on old buildings. As a Catholic abbey, it was abandoned in the late 16th century as the Reformation swept through Scotland.

Also thank you OP for correctly identifying the building here. Everyone else, including Zuckerman, appears to have mislabelled it as the ruined cathedral in St Andrews. They were founded at about the same time, have some architectural similarities (at least to my amateur eye), and are in a similar state of disrepair, but they are still different places. They're still pretty close by to each other, though. I think if you had a decent pair of binoculars and a clear day, you might just about be able to see the Arbroath one from the tower that's still standing and safe to go up in the St Andrews one.

Barely-related fun fact, the tower in the St Andrews cathedral is called St Rule's Tower. To the best of my knowledge, St Rule was not a time-travelling 196 contributor
