004 | [situation] Adjoining Parkhill This monastery according to Sibbald's history of Fife was founded in the year 1178 by David Earl of Huntingdon brother of William the Lion and dedicated to "Our Lord, the Virgin Mary and and St. Andrew the Apsotle" The ruins are still very extensive, a considerable portion of the Walls yet remains but in a very delapidated Condition; at present the Visitor can form but a very indefinite idea of its former grandeur and magnificence as all the stones worth removing have from time to time been Carried away for the erections of New buildings in the town of Newburgh and its neigbourhood. Some very fine old pear trees still remain in the Vicinity of it. The situation of this Monastery was particularly Valley on the banks of the River Tay. It was Occupied from its foundation until the reformation by Monks of the order of St. Benedict when it fell prey like all other similar institution in this Country to the lawless fury of a ruthless mob. The Ruins with the adjoining lands are the property of Capt. [Captain] D. Balfour Hay of Mugdrum. |
