First published in 1933 as part of the Cambridge Studies in
Medieval Life and Thought series, Coulton's Scottish Abbeys and
Social Life was an expanded version of his Rhind Lectures given to
the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland in 1931. Although a rigorous
academic, who stressed the importance of using primary sources,
Coulton was skilled at making medieval history accessible to a
wider audience. He played an important role in encouraging interest
in the study of social and economic, rather than political and
military, history of the Middle Ages among younger scholars. In the
present work, he used his wide reading of the evidence to examine
how monasticism developed in Scotland, from the early Celtic period
to the Reformation. Much of the material reveals a complex
relationship between the monks of the various orders and the world
in which they lived, and teaches the reader about the Church and
Scottish society.
