Inchmahome Priory is situated on Inchmahome, the largest of three islands in the centre of the Lake of Menteith, close to Aberfoyle, Scotland.

The name "Inchmahome" comes from the Gaelic Innis MoCholmaig, meaning island of St Colmaig.

The priory was founded in 1238 by the Earl of Menteith, Walter Comyn, for a small group of members of the Augustinian order. The Comyn family were one of the most powerful in Scotland at the time, and had an imposing country house on Inch Talla, one of the other islands on the Lake of Menteith. There is some evidence that there had been a church on the island before the priory was established.
