A hamlet in Abdie Parish, Den of Lindores is situated at the junction of the A913 and B936 roads 2 miles South East of Newburgh. The lands here belonged to the Earls of Fife but fell to the Crown after the forfeiture of the last Earl. In 1451 King James II bestowed the lands to James Balfour and from him descended the Balfours who owned the lands for over two hundred years, and were in their time a noble and illustrious family. The surname Balfour was first found in Fife, where they held a family seat from ancient times. Balfour has been spelled Balfour, Balfoure, Balfower, Balfowir, Balford, Balforde and many more. The Balfour clan takes its name from the barony of the same name and is located near the joining of the rivers Ore and Leven in Fife. The first record of the name is that of John de Balfure who appears on an assize in 1304, and there is note of a William de Balfure who witnessed a charter by Duncan, Earl of Fife. James Arthur Balfour was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1902 until 1905. Robert Balfour, aged 31, arrived in South Australia in 1854 aboard the ship Star Queen; William Balfour, a Scottish settler travelled from Glasgow on the Clyde aboard the ship Sir William Eyre arriving in Bluff, Southland, South Island, New Zealand in April 1863; James Balfour arrived in Newfoundland, Canada, in 1764; George Balfour landed in Rhode Island, America, in 1701; William Balfour landed in Virginia, America, in 1738; Janet Balfour landed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, America, in 1775; Andrew Balfour arrived in North Carolina, America, in 1782.
