Tour Scotland Photographs Video Old Abdie Church Fife

Tour Scotland photograph the old Abdie Church, Fife, Scotland. The remains of the old church of Abdie is found at Grange of Lindores, about a mile to the south of Newburgh. In 1300, Abdie was referred to as Ebedyn, a modem descendent of an old ecclesiastical term denoting a 'shrine' connected with an abbey or monastery. As Abdie was known to have existed before Lindores Abbey was built the shrine probably bore some relationship to the ancient Celtic foundation of Abernethy, of which all trace has been swept away. In the foundation charter of Lindores Abbey by David Earl of Huntingdon in 1178, the first bequest made to the Abbey was the Church of Lindores, as Abdie was then known. The probable derivation of Lindores is Lann, sacred enclosure and Dobbar, pronounced dour, water hence Church by the water. Its altar, like Flisk Church) was dedicated to St. Ninian, a 5th century missionary while the building was dedicated to St. Adrian, a 9th century bishop of Abemethy whose name is also associated with Macduff s cross. There are several stones in and around the church that are of interest including a floreated cross found under the floor of the chancel and a 14th century sculptured recumbent figure of an ecclesiastic clad in cassock and amice, hood with tassels.
