"The hospital at Scotlandwell was situated at the bottom of the Bishop Hill. it was founded by William Malvoisine, Bishop of St. Andrews. David de Benham gave it to the Red Friars, and confirmed the gift by a charter dated 1250. The Red Friars who were established by St. John of Matha, and Felix de Valois were bound to set apart a third of their revenue for redeeming Christian Slaves from the infidels. The parish church of Monsie near Cupar, and that of Carnock near Dunfermline belonged to this place The ruins of the church and house are still to be seen near the Village of Scotlandwell." Old Stat Acct. [Statistical Account]
"We find that an Hospital, entitled Fons Scotiae was foundd here by William Malvoisine, bishop of St. Andrews, who died about the year 1238; and that his successor in the episcopate, David de Benham, bestowed the same on a body of Red Friars. Of this religious house there are now no remains: the small deserted burying ground where it once stood, is, however, still pointed out among the gardens of the villagers. " Chambers Gazetteer.

The Rudera of the Church and House is on the north side of Leven River, at the foot of Bishop Hill and it was a Receptacle for Religious Pilgrims; And the Friars who belonged to that house collected charities for the Redemption of Christians, who were slaves in Turky" Sibbald Fife & Kinross page 110 |

"The Monastery of Portmoak stood on the east bank of Loch Leven, a little north of the river which rises out of that Lake. It was founded by Rogash, King of the Picts, derived its name from St. Moak, and was consecrated to the Holy Virgin. It originally belonged to a sort of Monks called by the Scots & Britons Culdees whose convents origianlly elected the Bishops in the several places where Bishops were established. It had considerable possessions. Kirkness was given to it in the reign of David I by Mackbeth son of Finlach, and was afterwards the reidence of the Prior. It was united to St. Leonards College by John [--] prior of Portmoak & superior of St. Andrews the 15th of Oct. 1576." Old Stat Acct [Old Statistical Account]
It is now entirely removed, only a slight hollow marks its site The stones were taken to build the present Parish Church at Portmoak.

27 Plan 23A Portmoak Parish
[Quotations - Monastery (site of)] " The Monastery of Loch Leven, now Portmoak, so named as may be conjectured from St. Moak, the first Abbot, signifying a Mansion or dwelling in the ancient language, as ye would say, the dwelling of Moak, Nothing remains of this Monastery, save a Parish Church, which answereth to the Presbytery of Kirkcaldy" Sibbald's Fife & Kinross.
"The ancient parish church stood A Portmoak, but the modern one is situated in the vicinity of Scotlandwell" Full [Fullarton's] Gazetteer.
"At Portmoak, on the eastern margin of Loch Leven, and the northern efflux of the River Leven, there was founded during the ninth century, by [Ungus], the Pictish King, a religious house. Here the Culdees, under the usual rule of their Abbot, performed their accustomed functions, for many a savage reign. Spotiswoode, and Keith, erroneously place the Monastery of Portmoak on the St. Servans Isle; so as to confound it with the Priory of Loch Leven." Chalmers Caledonia Vol. 1 page 437. |
