Today Coldingham Priory is still home to the local Church of Scotland parish church for Coldingham, which meets within the restored choir of the Priory and as such the church building includes remnants of a 13th-century building.
Coldingham Priory is the only major medieval church in South East Scotland to have its remains continue in use as an active present day church.

Outside of the church building the ruins were in a very poor state, badly eroded, overgrown and at risk of collapse.
But with the help of the Heritage Lottery Fund the site has been rejuvenated: the ruins conserved, footpaths reinstated and a wasteland transformed into a community garden with a monastic theme, concentrating on plants with culinary, medicinal, and aromatic properties.
There are also interpretation boards, explaining the hundreds of years of history contained within its walls, while a year-long education programme engaged schools and community groups in many diverse activities relating to the Priory and its conservation.

A partnership consisting of Historic Scotland, Scottish Borders Council, Scottish Natural Heritage, Archaeology Scotland, the Friends of Coldingham Priory, and the Tweed Forum was awarded a grant of £237,500 from HLF to conserve the ruins of Coldingham Priory and encourage community use of this site.
