Lindores

Lindores is a small village in Fife, Scotland, in the parish of Abdie, about 2 miles south-east of Newburgh.

The ruins of Abdie church, about 0.5 miles south-west of the village are possibly the site of an ancient shrine connected to the Celtic foundation at Abernethy.

Traces of an ancient castle, thought to have belonged to Macduff, Thane of Fife, have been found at the eastern end of the village.

[2] The battle of Black Irnsyde, at which William Wallace defeated Aymer de Valence, the 2nd Earl of Pembroke, is claimed to have been fought near the village, though this does not fit with known historical facts.

Lindores had a station on the Newburgh and North Fife Railway which was open to passengers between 1909 and 1951.
