TIRON was the first of the new religious orders to spread internationally. Within less than five years of its creation, the Order of Tiron owned 117 priories and abbeys in France, Scotland, Ireland, England and Wales.
In SCOTLAND, the Tironesians were the monks and master craftsmen who build and occupied (until the Reformation) the abbeys of Selkirk (later re-located to Kelso)(1128), Arbroath (1178), Kilwinning (1140+) and Lindores Abbey, Newburgh. Fife.
Arnold, Abbot of Kelso, founded the cathedral church at St. Andrews.
In France, the order was integrated into the new Benedictine Congregation of St. Maur in 1627.
