"In the village of Lindores there are the vestiges of an ancient Castle said to have belonged to Duncan Macduff first Thane or Earl of Fife which is rendered extremely probable from the circumstance that the pedestal of his cross the badge of his family is still to be seen about a mile to the westward. Sir James Balfour in his annals speaks of a battle that was fought between the Scots under Wallace and the English in June Anno [Year] 1300 near the Castle of Lindores in which 3000 of the latter were killed and 500 taken prisoners. This Castle of Lindores is also mentioned in the history of Wallace as the place to which that hero and his companions retired after the battle." Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of Fife 1845 |

"The castle of Lindores remained long the residence of the descendants of Sir James but after the erection of the house of Nether Rankeilour, it was allowed to go to ruin. It is supposed it was to this castle of Lindores, as we are told by Harry the minstrel, that Wallace retired
with his followers, after the battle of Black Earnside ; or it may have been to the still more ancient castle, the vestiges of which are to be traced near the village of Lindores, which belonged to the earls of Fife. We are informed by the annals of Ulster, that a battle was fought at Lindores in 621 while Cineoch, the son of Luthrin, was king of the Picts." Leighton's Hist.

[Note] This being the Parish Church formerly and no written as an antiquity Therefore Abdie Church (Ruins of) is the proper designation to be written on plan as hitherto has been done in similar cases, particularly when isolated as is the case with the present ruins.
[Note] "The old Church which is now in ruins may be traced to the beginning of the fifteenth century. There still remains in the porch the basin for the holy water and till lately the steps that led to the altar" New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of Fife p. 51
[Note] "The Old church of Abdie now in ruins is also a relic of the olden times. In the porch is still to be seen the basin in which the holy water was held and not long ago at the east end the steps which led to the altar still existed. In the North aisle or transept are still to be seen the mural tablets erected to the memory of Sir James Balfour Sir Michael his father and others of the family of Denmiln."

It is a pile of hand stones of a conical shape about thirty links in diameter and about six feet high it was collected into its present size and position at some remote but unknown period for a boundary mark on an undefined line of boundary between the Parishes of Abdie and Newburgh, on its summit is a Trigl. [Trigonometrical] station called Black Cairn. [Note] As this cairn was constructed merely for a boundary mark I think it cannot with propriety be written as an antiquity. |

[situation] About 2 3/4 miles west of Lindores.
The remains of a stone Cross on the farm of the same name which forms a part of Newburgh Common. These remains at present consist of [a] block of Freestone three feet nine inches high, four feet seven inches long by two feet eight inches broad at its top. There are several holes or indentations on its different faces which local tradition says were nine in number, and in which nine rings were at one time fixed and no remains of the broken cross are to b seen in the neighbourhood. In Leightons Hist [History] of Fife page 177 it is stated that "This Cross like that at Mugdrum was dedicated to St. Magriddin who appeared to have been the patron saint of the district " in the same Vol [Volume] and page it is also said to have formed a girth or sanctuary for any of the Clan Macduff or related to the Chief within the ninth degree, who had been guilty of "Suddand Chaudmelle" or unpremeditated slaughter in consequence of this privilege, any requiring its security fled to the Cross, and taking hold of one of the nine rings, punishment was remitted on his washing nine times at the stone, and paying nine Cows and a 'Colpendach' or young Cow, the nine Cows being fastened to the rings, were the oblation offered to St Magridden - the Washings were nine, and a powerful spring called the "Nine Wells" where it is supposed the ablutions took place, still takes its rise at no great distance from the Cross. |

[Quotation]
"The other is the celebrated cross of Macduff which stands at the distance of about a mile to the south in an opening of the Ochil Hills on the confines of Strathearn where it overlooks that beautiful valley and far distant Grampians. It consists of one large block of freestone rudely indented in several places. According to a description given in 1712 these consisted of nine each cntaining an iron staple and ring and intended according to tradition for the benefit of the kindred of the powerful tane of that name amounting to precisely the same number who claimed protection even against the penalties of murder upon te payment of "nine Kie and Colpendach or young Kow" The upright pillarwhich stood upon this liase stone was destroyed by thee reformers on their way from Perth to the Abbey of Lindores in 1559"
"The inscription upon it as taken about that period by the son of Sir James Balfour of [Dens mill] the celebrated annalist is as follows"
Maldraradum dragos mairia laghslita largos
Spelando spados Sive nig fig Knighthite gnaros
Lothea lendiscos laricingen lairia liscos
Et colovurtos sic fit tibi bursia burtus
Exitus et bladadrum sive lim sive lam sive labrum
Propter Magridim et hoc oblatum
Aecipe Smeleridem super limthide lamthida labrum.
Mr Cunningham in his learned essay upon this singular inscription regards the words as Saxon intermixed with Latin and the whole" aped in a Latin dress" being a charter from Malcolm Canmore to Macduff with the benefits he enjoyed by virtue thereof or immunities freedoms and |

The cross is the oldest regality in this county whence we have the phrase The Kingdom of Fife an epithet certainly given to no other shire as if Macduff had enjoyed his estate much after they way of Hugh Lupus in his earldom of Chester of whom it is said he enjoyed that earldom from his uncle the Conqueror, "adeo libere ad gladirem siant ipse rex tenelat totam angliam ad coronam." The last who claimed the privilege of the sanctuary as being within the degrees of Kindred was according to Skeen de verb.
