Tour Scotland Photographs Lindores Abbey Newburgh North Fife Fife August 17th

Tour Scotland photograph shot today of Lindores Abbey, Newburgh, Fife, Scotland. Lindores Abbey was a Tironensian abbey located on the outskirts of Newburgh. Now in ruins, lies on the southern banks of the River Tay. The earliest record of scotch whisky is a 1494 commission from King James IV to Friar John Cor of Lindores Abbey to make about 580 kg of aquavitae. The abbey was founded as a daughter house of Kelso Abbey about 1191 by David, Earl of Huntingdon, brother of William the Lion. The first abbot was Guido, Prior of Kelso, under whom the buildings were mostly completed. The church, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin and St. Andrew, was 195 feet long, with transepts 110 feet long. Edward I of England, John Balliol, David II, and James III were among the monarchs who visited Lindores at different times. The abbey was sacked by a mob from Dundee in 1543, and again by John Knox and his supporters in 1559. In the following years the abbey buildings were quarried as a source of stone for buildings in Newburgh. All that remains of the abbey are: one of the gateways leading into the monastic enclosure; the groin-vaulted slype, leading from the cloister garth to the exterior of the Abbey; and parts of the chancel walls and western tower of the church, although the ground plan of the whole structure can still be traced.

Tour Scotland Photograph Marriage Lintel Newburgh Fife

Tour Scotland photograph of a Marriage Lintel in Newburgh, Fife, Scotland. Located at 60 High Street Newburgh, this marriage stone records the marriage of Thomas Anderson and Janet Williamson in 1759. It is a beautiful, and well preserved, example of a Scottish marriage lintel. These stones served as a record of a marriage, especially important in aristocratic families and also sometimes practised amongst the newly established middle classes. They were sometimes added to a building which was constructed specifically as the new family home for the married couple, especially when the dowry was large, or were carved into a pre-existing lintel. The stones also clearly indicated the ownership of the building to onlookers at the time as well as serving as a record for posterity of both marital bliss and often also of social advancement.
