About Lindores

Lindores is a quaint village located in Fife, Scotland, approximately 2 miles southeast of Newburgh, along the picturesque northeast shore of Lindores Loch, a 44-hectare freshwater body. The village's name may derive from the phrase 'church by the water,' reflecting its historical significance, including the nearby ruins of Abdie Church, which are thought to be linked to an ancient Celtic shrine. Established in 1191, Lindores Abbey further shaped the area’s religious heritage, having taken over the church after its founding.
