Tour Scotland Photograph And Video Lindores Loch

Tour Scotland photograph of Lindores Loch, North Fife, Scotland. Lindores Loch is a freshwater loch situated in North Fife in the Parish of Abdie. The Loch has for many years been used as a fishery and is well known for its abundant fish life. The old Abdie Parish Church ruins are close to the north shoreline. The ruins of Inchrye House, a grand Victorian Gothic house to which estate the loch once belonged, lay to the East. The rail line between Perth and Ladybank is located on the west shoreline. The loch was an important source of water for powering mills in the Lindores valley, where up to 13 mills of various types operated from the Middle Ages up to the 20th century.

Tour Scotland Photograph And Video Collessie Church

Tour Scotland photograph of Collessie Church, North Fife, Scotland. This Scottish church was consecrated by the Bishop of St. Andrews in July 1243. It is mentioned in charters of both 1252 and 1262, and so was complete by those dates. Prior to the Reformation, the church was in the ownership of the Bishop of Lindores and was dedicated to the Virgin Mary. The church was remodelled in 1839 to a T-plan form and has remained virtually unchanged since that date. The churchyard has been used since at least the 12th century. It was extended both in 1840 and 1871.

Tour Scotland Photograph And Video Old Parish Church Abdie

Tour Scotland photograph of the old Parish Church, Abdie, North Fife, Scotland. Abdie Old Parish Church, located near Newburgh, was consecrated in 1242, and was originally a narrow single chambered structure, but in 1661 an aisle, used as the burial place of the Balfours of Denmylne, was added and other additions were also made in the 17th century. It was abandoned, in favour of the modern church, in 1827, and was considerably restored in 1856. The church was of Culdee origin, and dedicated to St Magridin but it would appear that there was a later dedication to the Virgin, the "High Altar of Our Lady of Abdie" being mentioned in 1555. It was given to Lindores Abbey about 1198, and was in use as the parish church until it was abandoned.
