Greyfriars Sisters of Mercy Convent in Elgin, Moray is one of the few Catholic monasteries, founded in Scotland after the Reformation in 1560.

[1] In the 16th century, the buildings of the former monastery housed a court and the Chamber of Commerce.

[2] The Sisters of Mercy bought the ruined buildings of the monastery and the St. Sylvester Church in 1891, which were then restored from 1896 to 1908, thanks to the financial support of John Crichton-Stuart, 3rd Marquis of Bute and his son Colum Crichton-Stuart, according to a project made by the architect John Kinross.

On 4 October 1898 in the church of the monastery the first Catholic Mass since the Reformation was celebrated.

Until the early 2000s, the Sisters of Mercy ran a kindergarten and a primary school.
