Lindores, Fife Planning Applications

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.

Established in 1191, Lindores Abbey further shaped the area’s religious heritage, having taken over the church after its founding.
