1560AD

In 1553 Coldingham Priory was described as much reduced.

With the Scottish Reformation in 1560 monasticism in Scotland was stopped.

The last signing of an existing Coldingham paper by a monk was in 1588 by George Acheson.

In 1606 the scant remnants from the once grand title 'Prior of Coldingham' were held by the sixth Lord Home. Home gave up this spirituality, and the Scottish Parliament confirmed it.
