LINDORES ABBEY.-
Northeast of the town and at the extremity of the parish on gentle rise in
in the middle of the rich clay land near the Tay stand the ruins of the ancient abbey of
Lindores. This monstery was founded in 1178 by David Earl of Huntingdon brother of William
the Lion and heir-presumptive to the Scottish throne after his return from a Crusade in the
Holy Land in commemoration of his escape from Shipwreck and of his having taken Ptolemais
from the Saracens. He planted it with monks of St Benedict of the order of Lyronensis
and dedicated the church to the virgin mary and St. Andrew the apostle. The monks were brought
from the Abbey of Kelso. The monks of Lindores drew the tithes of twenty two parish churches
which belonged. In 1208, Sibbald says, he finds that there resided in the monastery an abbot
and 26 monks. The site of the monastery of Lindores on the fine Carse-land which here bor-
ders the Tay and was formerly part of the forest of Black Earnside must have peculiarly
beautiful commanding a view of the valley of Strathearn and the Several buildings it Contained
were no doubt in a Style of grandeur Commensurate with its wealth and importance. The
latter however is a great matter of conjecture as little of the ruins now remains to
give any idea of its extent or the beauty of its architecture. The first outburst of the Reformation
was no doubt attended with an equally destructive attack on the monastery of Lindores as
that experienced by many other venerable buildings throughout the Kingdom but Lindores abbey

[Continued from Page 17]
has been peculiarly unfortunate as it seems long afterwards to have formed a quarry from
which the inhabitants of Newburgh obtained stones for repairing or erecting their houses.
The consequence is that the whole of the polished ashler stones with which the walls of the church
and other buildings were faced both outside and inside have been removed and almost nothing
now remains of the walls but the internal packing of small stones and lime which filled up the
space between the ashler fronts. A thick matting of ivy serves however in part to conceal the long
continued dilapidations which ruthless have made on these interesting ruins. If we might be
allowed to form any conjecture as to the style of the church, we should suppose it to have been
what is now usually styled the early English that is the first and simplest form in which the
pointed style is anywhere found. The appearance of the groinings on the roof of two small vaulted
crypts which are yet entire would seem to favour this Conjecture. It may however have been in
the Norman Style which immediately preceded the early English and was for a time Coeval with it
indeed both of these styles were practised about the era of the erection of this monastery. The wall which
surrounded the precinct of the abbey is still pretty entire, and within it and in its immediate vicinity, are still to be seen
many of the " vastly big old pear trees" mentioned by Sibbald. One of these is particularly worthy of
notice for its great size and age although it is now, from the breaKing down of one of its principal branches
a third less than it was a few years ago. When we saw it in 1839, it was, notwithstanding its age, and that it is begin
-ginning to decay internally literally loaded with fruit. It is said that David, Duke of Rothsay, eldest son of
Robert II, who was barbarously murdered at Falkland, by the contrivance of his uncle, the Earl of Fife, and Sir
John Ramorney was buried here but this is doubtful as it is also said he was buried in the old church of
Kilgour near Falkland. A stone coffin is pointed out at Lindores, which is said to have been that of the Prince but this
is mere vague conjecture. for any thing that appears, it may have been the resting place of some of the abbots of the monastery
The last of the Earls of Douglas after a life of trouble & turmoil, found a peaceful retreat for his old age and died within
the walls of the monastery in 1488."

[situation] Adjoining Parkhill
This monastery according to Sibbald's history of Fife was founded in the year 1178 by David Earl of Huntingdon brother of William the Lion and dedicated to "Our Lord, the Virgin Mary and and St. Andrew the Apsotle" The ruins are still very extensive, a considerable portion of the Walls yet remains but in a very delapidated Condition; at present the Visitor can form but a very indefinite idea of its former grandeur and magnificence as all the stones worth removing have from time to time been Carried away for the erections of New buildings in the town of Newburgh and its neigbourhood. Some very fine old pear trees still remain in the Vicinity of it. The situation of this Monastery was particularly Valley on the banks of the River Tay. It was Occupied from its foundation until the reformation by Monks of the order of St. Benedict when it fell prey like all other similar institution in this Country to the lawless fury of a ruthless mob. The Ruins with the adjoining lands are the property of Capt. [Captain] D. Balfour Hay of Mugdrum. |

This is probably the shaft of an ancient Cross. There are very distinct indications of elaborate Carving on it, which was apparently divided into three compartments, the remains of the mouldings of the compartments are very distinct, but the subject of the carving is obliterated. The Stone in which the stone is set, and the lower part of the shaft must have been under ground for ages.

The parish likewise contains two crosses of remote antiquity. One of these is situated a little
to the westward of the town, among the woods, and is usually Called by the local name of Mugdrum
Cross. The term "Mugdrum" is obviously a corruption of Magridin, the saint in whose honour it may
have been erected, and to whom the lands of Mugdrum were dedicated. It Consists of one large
stone, as the representation here shows, placed upright in Another and though the transept is now
Completely broken off, and all the upper portion obliterated, so that the shaft only remains, there
can be no doubt, from the appearance of the stone itself, as well as from its resemblance to the monuments
of similar date and character, that a cruciform portion at one time surmounted what now exists +++
It is Curious that this beautiful and very remarkable monument has escaped the notice of Sibbald
and the other Fifeshire antiquaries. Nothing is Known of its history. A group of five similar
ones exists at Meigle, a person of more than apocryphal existence, but who is said to have lived about
the year 800. Four others of similar aspect are found at Aberlemno, which together with one
at Pitmuis and another at Moneekie, are said to commemorate the defeat of the Danes and
slaughter of Camus, their Chief in the eighth Century. If this is the purpose of the cross under
Consideration - to commemorate a similar defeat at Luncarty, about the Close of the tenth Century,
certainly no site could be more appropriate for it than the immediate vicinity of the
family mansion, where it now stands, of the direct lineal descendants of the patriotic Hay
and his stalwart sons who turned the tide of battle, and obtained in reward the hawks flight
being the property of Leys, which is still in their possession." &c &c
