Lindores Abbey

Now a reduced ruin, it lies on the southern banks of the River Tay, about 1-mile (1.6 km) north of the village of Lindores and is a scheduled ancient monument.

Edward I of England, John Balliol, David II, and James III were among the monarchs who visited Lindores at different times.

According to one report, they "overthrew the altars, broke up statues, burned the books and vestments and made them cast aside their monkish habits".

[3] After the Reformation, the Abbey passed into the hands of a Commendator, one whose loyal service to the King was rewarded by the gift of the ecclesiastical income and property.

Carved wooden panels from the Abbey of the early 16th century survive in the Laing Museum, Newburgh and, reset in a 19th-century cabinet, in St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral, Dundee.
