Abbey, a small village, with the site of a Cistercian nunnery, in Haddington parish, Haddingtonshire, on the left bank of the river Tyne, 1¼ mile ENE of Haddington town. The nunnery, founded in 1178 by Ada, mother of Malcolm IV., was the meeting-place, in 1548, of the parliament that arranged Queen Mary's marriage to the Dauphin. At the Dissolution it had 18 nuns, and an income of £310: but no traces of it now remain.
