 The Abbey of Balmerino, dedicated to Our Lady and St Edward the 
 Confessor, was founded by Alexander II. and his mother Queen Ermen- 
 gard, widow of William the Lion,' in the year 1229.^ The foundation 
 charter by Alexander, is dated 3d February 1230-1, and induces an 
 inference that her Majesty was then dead, although the Chronicle of 
 Melrose,^ as well as WyntowTi and Fordun,^ assign the year 1233 as 
 the period of her demise. The Prior of Lochleven says,*

 ii INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Whatever may have been the precise day of her death, Queen Ermen- 
 "■ard lived long enough to prove a most generous benefactress to the 
 abbey. She expended 1000 marks during her lifetime in the purchase of 
 land, and left 200' more to be applied by her executors to a similar in- 
 vestment. (Vide Charters, Nos. 5 and 7.) 
 
 The abbey was supplied by a colony of monks of the Cistercian order 
 from Melrose.^ Their first abbot, as appears from the Chronicle of that 
 abbev, was — 
 
 I. Alan. He ruled over the convent five years and a few months. 
 His demise is recorded in the Chronicle of Melrose," suh " Anno 
 M.CC.XXXVI. dompnus Alanus primus abbas fan6li Edvvardi de 
 Balmurinach obiit in vigiha apollolorum Petri et Pauli, (Jun. 28,) cuifuc- 
 cellit dompnus lladulphus ejusdem domus cellerarius." 
 
 II. His successor Ralph, the cellarer, had a longer sway, as according 
 to the same Chronicle,* he lived till 12.51. " Anno Domini M.CC.LI. 
 obiit Radulfus abbas de San6lo Edwardo, cui fuccellit Johannes, ejusdem 
 domus monachus et quondam prior de May." 
 
 III. John, the third abbot, appears to have resigned office the year 
 following his appointment thereto. " Anno Domini M.CC.LII. Jo- 
 hannes abbas de Sandlo Edwardo fuo ceffit ofiicio, et dompnus Adam 
 portarius de Melros ei fucceilit."* 
 
 IV. The infirmities of age compelled Adam to resign in 12()0. " Anno 
 
 ' Spotswood in his " Account of the Religious Houses," states, that Queen Emergarde 
 was buried iu Balmerino, " ante magnum altare." This is probable enough — and Spots- 
 wood may have seen the original deed wherein this event is narrated; but it does not appear 
 from any document in the Liher de Bahnorinach.

 Domini M.CC.LX. abbas A. de Balmur.inach regimen, quod pro infir- 
 mitate diucius tenere non potuit, fucceffori fuo, fcilicet Ade ejufdem domi 
 monacho, dereliquit.'" 
 
 V. This Adam, according to Fordun,' died in I'^^yO- And we learn 
 from the same authority that his successor was — 
 
 VI. William de Perisbi. When he died, or who was his successor, 
 cannot now be traced. Possibly William de Perisbi was the abbot of 
 Balmerino who attended Margaret, daughter of Alexander III. to Nor- 
 way, when about to be married to Eric, king of that country, and who, on 
 his voyage homeward was, with Bernard de Monte-alto, and many others, 
 unfortunately dromied.' 
 
 VII. The next whom we find is William, who swears fealty to Edward 
 I. at Berwick, 28th August 1296.* 
 
 VIII. After William, no one occurs till Hugh, who witnesses a charter 
 by Thomas Earl of Angus, ratified by David II. 10th March 1368. 
 
 IX. John de Haylis, who next appears, is the only one that makes 
 any prominent figure in the pages of history. In 1408, (10 Henry IV.) 
 we find the following letter of safe conduct "Tanted to him on his return 
 from France.

 (■2 Henry A I.) another letter of safe conduct is granted to him and other 
 Commissioners, with fifty-four retainers going to London with reference to 
 a similar transaction.^ Like letters are granted to him and others going 
 to Durham, with a retinue of twenty attendants, 13th and '20th December

 last Abbot, and died in 1558, Bilhop Lesley briefly notices his death — 
 " Thar doccifl'ed about the fame tymc, (August 1558,) the Abbot of 
 Bamurinoche ; quhilk was gevin to Maister Johne Haye."' 
 
 This John Hay, the first and last Gommendatori) Abbot of Balraeriuo, 
 was Master of Requests to Queen Mary, and was probably a member of 
 the family of Nauchtan.* How long he held the commendatorship, or who 
 was his successor, does not immediately appear. In 1598, Sir James 
 Elphinstone, Secretary of State to James I. had the lands of the abbey 
 erected into a temporal lordship, in favour of him and his heirs male, by 
 charter under the great seal,^ 20th February lGU3-4, and thereby took 
 his seat in parliament as Lord Balmerinoch. His chequered fate is fami- 
 liar to all who are intimate with the histoi'y of their country. 
 
 The revenues of Balmerino in 156l, at the dissolution of the monas- 
 teries, were in money £704, 2s. lO^d, — in grain of different kinds, 4-3 chal- 
 ders, 6 bolls, 3 firlots, and 1 peck — and 763 heads of poultry.* 
 
 The " Liber de Balmorinach," from which the subsequent pages are 
 printed, is a small octavo volume preserved in the Library of the Faculty 
 of Advocates. It consists of twenty-six leaves of parchment, and is cor- 
 roborated bv a notandum in the handwriting of the early part of the 
 17th century :

 The Colophon — in an auto<rraph of much more recent date than the

 This doubtless does not signify that the chartulary was penned by 
 Brother Laurence, but that his was the anathema ; — one which will be 
 fully responded to by every good Christian. It is twice repeated on the 
 flv leaves of the volume. 
 
 It is to be hoped that the eyes of Abbot Robert were closed in death 
 before the destruction of that noble edifice over which he had so lono- 
 
 to 
 
 presided. If not, the event probably accelerated his demise. Lesly 
 informs us that it was pulled down by the Lords of the Congreo-ation and 
 their rabble-rout, on their way from St Andrews — v^here they commenced 
 their outrages — about the end of August 1588. And most effectually did 
 " the malevolent, maledicent, recalcitrating, ignorant Puritans" (as Kellett 
 calls them') do their work! It is impossible even to allude to such 
 diabolical occurrences coolly.

 viii INTRODUCTION. 
 
 of the Mother Church must admit, that a sad laxity of discipline and 
 lethargic indifference to their duties had crept in among those to whom 
 had been committed the custody of religion — so that, " while the good 
 men slept, the enemy sowed tares;" — and that, in consequence of this 
 neglect, it pleased God to permit the evil passions of fierce men to work 
 out a dire desolation. In England, the scourge of the Church was that 
 man who had won for himself from Rome the title of " Defender of the 
 Faith ; " — in Scotland, the destroyers were a barbarous and selfish nobility, 
 followed by a horde of savage retainers and the " rascal multitude," — as 
 Knox himself terms them — who scarcely could boast even of the name of 
 freemen. In England, the Reformation preserved religion and decency — 
 in Scotland, the Deformation created a moral waste. It was a war of extir- 
 pation, not a measure of reform. These demons battled even with stone and 
 mortar, and while they abused unto the death the professors of religion, 
 they levelled, in their brutal zeal, its temples with the dust.' The impelling 
 cause of all their doings was avarice and a distaste for the restraint of autho- 
 rity. The spirit of the leaders in this " unholy work" is yet, under an altered 
 guise, to be traced in the rebellious turbulence of a General Assembly, 
 and that of their vassals in the salivators of Jedburgh. They did indeed 
 " pull down the nests," and the " rooks" took flight, and were succeeded by 
 any other than " birds of Paradise." A curious and uncomely ornitho-

 at the present time an impartial spectator may witness these strange

 Balmerino Abbey is beautifully situated on an eminence in the imme- 
 diate vicinity of the Tay. It stands on the south bank of the river, about 
 twelve miles from its mouth, and the site commands a view of the estuary 
 as far up as its junction with the Earn, overlooking, towards the north, 
 the Carse of Gowrie and an extensive range of diversified scenery, termi- 
 nated in the remote distance by the Grampians. It is now the property 
 of Francis Archibald Stuart, Esq., a cadet of the house of Moray.

 from six slightly foliaged pillars— a sacristy, or perhaps a vestry, formerly 
 connecting it with the transept of the church — the fratery, which is quite 
 entire, with two cells adjoining — and portions of a more modern erection, 
 no part of the old abbey remains. The church, with the exception of a 
 few feet in height of the nave and north transept, has been levelled with 
 the dust, and the very foundations of the single row of pillars which sup- 
 ported its roof were not long since removed. However, after patient 
 investij^ation, sufficient traces have been discovered to enable my friend, 
 the Rev. G. G. JMilne of Cupar, who, for, nearly twenty years, has from 
 time to lime visited these interesting ruins with the eye of an antiquary, 
 to provide the annexed ground-plan of the abbey as it originally existed. 
 The bosses of the chapter-house arches seem to have contained armorial 
 bearings, now wholly effaced : on one a shield remains, charged with a 
 bend ; but the rest of the blazon is quite indistinct. On the north corner 
 of the modem portion of the building is a shield bearing a fess, between 
 what seem to be three billets, or cross-crosslets, but which are rendered 
 altogether unintellio^ible bv time and moss. 
 
 Nearly all traces of the old orchard, as also of what appears to have 
 been a fish-pond, have vanished. A picturesque Spanish chesnut tree, 
 probably coeval with the foundation of the monastery, and supposed to 
 be the largest of the kind in Scotland, measuring in girth, one foot 
 from the ground, 17 feet 8 inches, still remains at the east end of the 
 building. 
 
 pleased, among innumerable stultitudes, to denominate the cloisters of the chapter-house " an 
 arcade, which in all probability formed a portion of the fratery or refectory where the monks 
 dined." Had this person been a Christian, he would have known so much of architecture as to 
 have avoided this blunder. I refer to this preposterous publication, in order to record my pro- 
 test against the wretched system of book- making now prevalent under the guise of topogra- 
 phical descriptions. The nobility and gentry of Scotland appear freely to encourage any 
 trash obtruded upon them by itinerant hawkers : when will they unite in the support of any 
 experienced individual or individuals competent and willing to undertake the painful labour 
 of a county history ?

 INTRODUCTION. xi 
 
 Views, said to be, of Balmerino Abbey occur in Cardonnell's " Pictu- 
 resque Antiquities," I788 ; in Grose's "Antiquities of Scotland," 1789-Dl ; 
 and in Swan's " History of the County of Fife," 1840 ; but they are all mere 
 fictions. The wiseacres have selected for illustration not the chapter- house — 
 which, as above said, is in reality almost the only part of the old structure 
 remaining, and which faces the visitor on his approach to the ruins pre- 
 senting a beautifully picturesque vista — but the hack part of the compara- 
 tively modern building, evidently patched up after the Deformation as a 
 dwelling-house, or hunting seat, for the Elphinstone family, and altogether 
 devoid of any style of ecclesiastic architecture. They might with equal 
 fidelity have given a sketch of the West Kirk of Edinburgh, or any similar 
 barn-like heap of stones, and called it the Cathedral of Lichfield ! As a 
 tailpiece to the present introductory remarks, is a woodcut fac-simile of 
 Balmerino as represented (! I) in a curious map of Scotland, contained in 
 a MS. of Hardyng's Chronicle, in the Bodleian Library, Arch. Seld. 
 B. 26, and which is engraved in Gough's " Anecdotes of British Topo- 
 graphy," IL 579. 
 
 Of the Common Seal of the abbey, a fac-simile — excellently executed 
 in lithography by Mr Leith, from the original in my possession — is im- 
 pressed on the title ; and, prefixed to the first page of the text, is that of 
 one of the abbots — perchance of Alan — done by the same ingenious hand 
 from the beautiful drawing by Howlett belonging to the BannatjTie Club ; 
 for the use of which, and many other favours, I am indebted to my friend, 
 David Laing, Esq. 
 
 I cannot part from Balmerino without recording my sense of the gene- 
 rous hospitality and kindness shown to me and my camerados, on a recent 
 pilgrimage to that once hallowed spot, by the Rev. John Thomson, min- 
 ister of the parish — a gentleman well qualified to represent the ancient 
 abbots in the exercise of those social virtues commended by St Paul, and

 possessed of many more important merits ; and whose only misfortune it 
 is to be Minister of the Kirk instead of Lord of the Abbacy.

 " Transcribed from the original charter, in the possession of Margaret 
 Walker, at Rathillet, near Balmerinoch, an. 1819." 
 
 No. X. 
 
 [The following letter, having reference to the preceding charter, is 
 preserved in the same volume of General Hutton's Collections. The 
 writer was minister of Kilmany, and is described in the " New Statistical 
 Account" of that parish as " an amiable man, a conscientious minister, 
 and a considerable antiquary." This latter averment his correspondence 
 certainly does not instruct. He died at his " manse " in 1792. The 
 groimd assigned for the " translation" of the kirk in l6ll is amusing, 
 and probably correct. The Countess must have been sorely annoyed by 
 the intolerable nuisance of their vile presbyterian bellowings.]

 KiLMENT, 24tt March, 1789. 
 
 79 " Sir, 
 
 " I hope you received by post, some time ago, a short letter from me 
 in answer to your obliging favours of the 30th January. Since Mrs Hut- 
 ton's death, (on the 18th last,) I have been no where abroad, and for some 
 weeks have been ailing much, but am better now. Meantime I have been 
 making what enquiries I could about the Abbey of Balmarinoch. On 
 Saturday I received a charter given by the Commendatarius of the Monas- 
 tery, dated August 1574. It's short and concise ; wrote in Latin. The
 
 DE BALMORINACH. 73 
 
 language (considering the time) I think is ornate, in so far as I can read 
 it. There are so many contractions, and so many words defaced, that I 
 can make but little of it ; but such as are accustomed to read old wTitings 
 (which 1 scarcely can) may understand the whole. The wax-seal append- 
 ed to it distinctly bears the impression of the Virgin at full length, and the 
 child in her arms. Its figure is oval ; and round the margin, a motto in 
 old Saxon characters, which to me is illegible. What words of the charter 
 I can read, I'll write on the last page by themselves. I am going to-mor- 
 row, with some others, to visit the abbey, that I may give all the intelli- 
 gence I can, and will leave this unfinished till the next day. 
 
 " (Thursday 26th) — I was at the abbey yesterday ; but unluckily most 
 of the people I expected intelligence from were not at home, and the day was 
 bad ; so that I could not stay to survey it as I meant to have done. Among 
 the venerable remains, St Mary's Chapel is the most entire, built of the finest 
 stones, and so durable that the marks of the chissel are yet upon them. Not 
 in the least blasted. It's beautifully arched, and the roof supported bv six 
 pillars, the finest I have seen ; and the niches for the altar and font-stone are 
 quite distinct. There is a large vault on each side ; one of which they call 
 a pit, in which I found a number of cattle belonging to the tenant of the 
 farm ; the other had been a kitchen, and in it likewise are a brew-house, 
 as appears by the vents of each ; and the oven is yet entire. In the story 
 above, some vaults yet remain, in which the nuns, it's said, were lodged ; 
 and on the west side, a yeard called the Cloyster Yeard, adjoining to 
 which is the quire or vestry of the church, from south to north. It's now 
 razed to the foundation. The church stood from west to east, and part of 
 the back-wall yet stands, and the foundations of the pillars are visible. I 
 could hear nothing about the queen's grave, but think I could guess at 
 the spot ; for a great way on the back-wall the earth is high, and it's pro- 
 bable there are vaults below. The churchyard is large, and is full of trees. 
 East from that is the mansion-house, part of which yet stands, and the 
 tenant lives in it. Two stone windows in the front have the impression of 
 arms on them ; and on the north end there is a bartisan, as they call it, 
 lookinjj towards the river. Behind is a laroje orchard, wherein some fruit 
 trees still stand ; and a walnut and an elm tree, very old, the grossest of 
 their kinds I ever saw. The great gate fronts the west, and about it are 
 the office-houses. The whole property belongs to the Earl of Moray. It 
 
 K
 
 74, LIBER SANCTE MARIE 
 
 has been used as a quarry, I believe, since the Reformation, and continues 
 to be so still, and little of it now remains. It's seven years since I saw it 
 before, and now the hewn stones of one of the pillars in the chappell, next 
 to the side-wall, are driven down. It's shocking to sec it. The whole will 
 soon be ruined. In all the houses and dykes thereabouts the carved hewn 
 stones of the abbey are to be seen. Lord Balmerino's family lived there 
 long. In 16 II, the church was translated to about a quarter mile's dis- 
 tance to the eastward, because (it's said) the countess could not bear the 
 noise of the psalms on Sunday. This is all the intelligence I can give at 
 present ; if more occurs afterwards it shall be at your service. One Mr 
 Alexander Melvill, farmer at Peasehills, in the neighbourhood, who 
 favoured me with this charter, tells me of another, dated either 1589 or 
 98 — is to procure me a sight of that likewise. I showed him your letter, 
 and he is eager to do what he can to gi-atify you. He is a sensible worthy 
 man, and most obliging. He has this charter in trust from the poor family 
 it belongs to, and it seems it never has been renewed. I much wish you 
 saw this ; and if you incline you might write him, asking the favour. 1 
 could transmit it to you by the Dundee-Edinburgh carrier, who passes here 
 weekly, and he would send it by the Kelso carrier from Edinburgh. And 
 this way of sending letters would be most regular, as I'm seldom in Cupar 
 unless on presbytery days. I must write what I can of the charter in a 
 separate paper, for want of room here ; and I am, with great respect. 
 
 Sir, 
 
 Your most obedient servant, 
 
 Andrew Hutton." 
 
 " P,S. — The feu which this charter belongs to consists of a house and 
 barn and a yeard, not exceeding half a rood of ground altogether, nay not 
 so much. I saw it the other day. The yearly duty it now pays is 3s. 4d. 
 sterling." 
 
 In another communication to the General, Mr Hutton says, " I went 
 to Dunbog, and found that the place (where the mansion-house, the pro- 
 perty of Sir Thomas Dundas) was formerly called Gadvan, a preceptory of 
 Balmerinoch Abbey, wherein four monks did statedly reside."

 Ross (XIV.) John, abbot of Lindores, was present at the condemnation 
 of Sir John Berth wick for heresy, in May 154'0. ' He was appointed a 
 member of the Parliamentary Committee for discussion of Domes, 15V2, 
 again on the 3d December 1543,^ and elected Lord of the Articles, 7 th 
 November 1544.^ In August 1560, he attended the parliament which 
 established the deformed religion. This he embraced, and was then ap- 
 pointed a Lord of the Articles as a reward for his sinful apostacy.^

 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 The Abbey of Lindores, dedicated to Our Lady and St Andrew the 
 Apostle, was founded by David Earl of Huntingdon about II78, on his 
 return from the Holy Land, after the capture of Ptolemais. Boetius in- 
 forms us, that the terrors and dangers of his homeward voyage induced 
 this act of grateful piety. His narrative, in the quaint vernacular of the 
 Archdean of Moray, is as follows : 
 
 " At last, quhen King Richard had distroyit this town of Achon, and 
 was returnand in Italy, ane sudden tempest feverit his navy : throw quhilk 
 he was destitute of fi-iendis, and finaly, be treasoun of certane evill cristin 
 men, he was brocht to Hary, Emprioure. The fchip that Erie David was 
 intil, be rageand tempest was fa brokin, that many of thaim quhilkis war 
 in hir perist, and he narrowly eschapit with his life. Efter this he was 
 tane be the inhabitantis of this land, and brocht to Alexandria, quhare he 
 was haldin lang time in preson : quhill at last he was coft be marchandis 
 of Venice and brocht to Constantinople. Nocht lang efter he was brocht 
 to Venis, quhare he was redemit be merchandis of Ingland and brocht to 
 Flanderis ; and thair he pullit up falis, to I'eturne in Scotland ; and,
 
 ii INTRODUCTION. 
 
 quhen he was litill departit fra the land, he was drcvin be unmerciful! 
 tempest nocht far fra Norroway and Scheitland, with incredibill dangeir. 
 Finaly, quhen he had maid ane voit to big anc kirk in the honoure of the 
 Virgine Mary gif he war fortunat to eschape the dangeir of seis, he 
 arrivit in Tay, beside Dunde, not far fra Sanct Nicholas' Chapell, but ony 
 rudder or taikill ; and gaif thankis to God and the Blissit Virgine for 
 delivering of him fra sic extreme perill. The place quhare he arrivit was 
 callit AUectum ; hot efter his cumming it changit name, and was callid 
 Dunde, quhilk fignifyis in our langage, the gift of God. King William, 
 heirand the returning of his brothir, quhome he belevit mony yeris afore 
 deceillit, come with maist diligence to Dunde, and cmbrasit him ; sjTie 
 gaif thankis to God and the Bliffit Virgine Mary, that deliverit his 
 brothir fra fa mony dangeris. Efter this, he gart maik generall pro- 
 ceffionis throw the realme, to geif thankis to God for the happy returning 
 of his brothir. 
 
 " Sic thingis done, ane conventioun was maid at Dunde, in the quhilk 
 licence was gevin to Erie David to big ane Abbay in quhat place he plesit 
 of Scotland, and to dotat it with landis and rentis at his pleseir. King 
 William gaif mony priveleges to Dunde, quhilkis induris to thir dayis, 
 David, nocht refusing the benevolence of his brothir, biggit ane Abbay, 
 callit Lundoris, efter the ordour of St Benedict. Ane thing is thair richt 
 mervellus : na man is hurt in that Abbay with eddaris. Thir eddaris lyis 
 in the middis of ane vale, circulit with wod and rinnand watter : throw 
 quhilk they burgeon vith mair plentuous nowmer than evir was sene in ony

 The Abbots of Lindores, in so far as they can be traced, were, 
 
 I. GuiDO. He died 17th June 1219. The event is thus recorded 
 by Fordun : — " Quo die et anno," (die fcilicet Sancti Botulphi, a. d. 
 MCCXIX. ') " obiit Guido primus Abbas de Londoris, cum ipsum 
 locum a fundamentis conftruxiffet, et ofBcinas competentes maxima ex parte 
 perfcciffet, et fere per viginti octo annos monasterium ftrenue rexiflet ; 
 monachos viginti fex fuperftites relinquens, ordine et religione plcnarie 
 informatos ; omnes fratres de caritate mutua exhortans, et a transgrelFioni- 
 bus absolvens, et ab ipsis absolutus et ofculatus, inter verba collocutionis 
 caput in manu fratris sibi affidentis reclinans, quasi dormiens, hilari 
 vultu quievit in Domino. Cui fucceffit Johannes ejusdem domus mo- 
 nachus."^ 
 
 II. John, above mentioned. 
 
 III. Thomas, " vir magnae fanctitatis," according to Fordun, died 
 1273.' He was succeeded by 
 
 IV. John, the prior, who died the following year, and was interred at 
 Kelso.* To him succeeded 
 
 V. Nicholas, the cellarer.

 XII. Andrew, appears in the Chartulary^ from 1476 to 1502 : in this 
 latter year, of date 3d May, while his successor 
 
 XIII. Henry, in the same record, is mentioned on 20th March, also of 
 1502.' The apparent discrepancy arises from the erroneous computation 
 of the Old Style, which was not departed from till I6OO. This Henry was 
 probably the same who assisted at the condemnation of Patrick Hamilton, 
 Abbot of Feme, in 1527. 
 
 XIV. John Lesley, the historian, afterwards Bishop of Ross, was for 
 a short time Abbot of Lindores. He obtained the mitre in 156G-7.*

 XV. This imperfect series of dignitaries terminates with Patrick 
 Lesley, second son of Andrew, 5th Earl of Rothes, on whom the Abbacy 
 was bestowed in commendam, and subsequently created into a temporal 
 lordship, 25th December I6OO. He was one of the King's suite at the 
 Gowry conspiracy^ — an event which is as likely to have been directed by 
 King James against the Earl of Gowrie, as by his lordship against the 
 " British Solomon." The Abbey and circumjacent lands remained in the 
 family of Lindores till 1741. It now belongs to that of the Hays of 
 Leys. 
 
 In the year 1218, an accident happened at Lindores, by which William 
 prior of Durham eventually lost his life. He had gone into Scotland by 
 order of the Pope's legate, Gualo, accompanied by Walter de Wisebech, 
 archdeacon of the East Riding of Yorkshire, in order to absolve that 
 country from the papal anathema. On their return from Aberdeen about 
 the end of January, the bed-chamber wherein the prior and his monks slept 
 took fire, owing to the carelessness of the butlers, and he, being nearly 
 sufibcated, was so affected by the smoke, that he died at Coldingham on 
 the 14th May following. -

 In 12GS, the Prior of Lindores' and the Abbot of Dunfermline were 
 sent into England as representatives from the clergy to attend the Council 
 of Ottobonus, the Pope's legate.*

 vi INTRODUCTION. 
 
 In the Chamberlain Rolls of Scotland,' sub anno 1372, the follow- 
 ing entry leads the memory back to royal revelries : — 
 
 " Et dauid de belay locu teneti vie" de ffyiF. p debit" quond Reg" dauid 
 de expnf fact ad quodd natale teni ap'' Londoris — vj ti. xiij s. iiij d." 
 
 In 1402, the first created Duke in Scotland was interred at Lindores. 
 This was David Duke of Rothsay, eldest son to King Robert III., whom 
 chroniclers assert to have been starved to death at Falkland, by his uncle, 
 the Duke of Albany. The tale is told with a fearful quaintness by old 
 Hector Boece, in " Buke Sextene " of his Croniklis ; and we learn 
 therein, that " His body wes beryit in Lundoris, and kithit miraklis monv 
 yeris eftir : quhil, at last. King James the First began to punis his slayaris; 
 and fra that time furth, the miraclis ceiffit." Far be it from me that infi- 
 delity that scoffeth and makes light of the legendary lore of our ancestors ; 
 but it does seem somewhat strange that his Grace's carcase should have 
 possessed such miraculous properties ; as from the same veracious history 
 we learn, that his life was spent otherwise than after the most approved 
 sanctity. Boece says, that during his mother's lifetime, " he wes haldin 
 in virtews and honest occupatioun : eftir hir deith, he began to rage in all 
 maner of insolence ; and fulyeit virginis, matronis, and nunnis, be his 
 unbriddellit lust." 
 
 In 1488, James, the ninth and last Earl of Douglas, died and was 
 buried at Lindores, where, for the space of four years, he had led a life 
 of compulsory seclusion. ^ Whether he assumed the cowl or not, does not 
 appear. 
 
 There was one famous light connected with this Abbey. Laurence of 
 Lindores, " rector ecclesie de Crcch,"^ and the pope's inquisitor in Scot-

 land, is described by Fordun' as " solidissimus clericus et famosus theo- 
 logus, vitae sanctitate quamplurimum collaudatus ;" and further'' " as one 
 " qui nusquam infra regnum requiem dedit hsereticis vel Lolardis." This 
 eximious ecclesiastic had his own share of combustibles, having presided 
 on two occasions at the condemnation of Wicliffites. The first was in 1407, 
 when James Resby, an English priest, was condemned by a council of Scotch 
 clergy, and burned at Perth. The second was in 1433, when Paul Crawar, 
 a Bohemian physician, was convicted and roasted at St Andrews for the 
 same heresy. The arguments, by means of which Brother Laurence pro- 
 cured the consummation in these instances, are given by Fordun loc. cit:^ 
 
 This Laurence was a D. C. L. of St Andrews, and professor in that uni- 
 versity. Dr Anderson, in his Statistical Account of the Parish of Neic- 
 burgh, and his echo Mr Leighton, the fag for Mr Bookseller Swan, 
 are pleased to enrol him in the list of Abbots of Lindores, For this 
 assertion no proof exists ; and the very fact of his being a lecturer in the 
 university altogether militates against such a supposition. 
 
 In 1559, the Abbey of Lindores became a prey to the tender mercies of 
 the Deformers. Its demolition is thus noticed by the archdemon Knox, 
 in a letter to a married woman, with whom he appears to have been too 
 familiar : — " The adversaries" (/. e. the Christians) " perceiving that 
 neither threatening, flatterie, nor deceit, could break the bold constancie and 
 
 • Scotichronicon, ii. 442. ^ Ibid. p. 495. 
 
 3 Boece thus commemorates the extinction of Dr Craio, as he is pleased to term him : — 
 " Nocht lang efter, was tane in Sanct Andi-ois ane man of Beum, namit Paule Craw, preche- 
 and new and vane superstitionis to the pepil ; specially aganis the sacrament of the alter, 
 veneration of Sanctis, and confession to be maid to priestis. At last he was brocht afore the 
 theologis, and al his opinlonis condampnit. And becaus he perseverit obstinatly to the end 
 of his ploy, he was condampnit and brint. He confessit afore his deith, that he was send out 
 of Beum to preiche to Scottis the herisyis of Hus and Wicleif. The king commendit mekil 
 this punition ; and gaif the abbacy of Melros to Johne Fogo, for he wes principall convikar 
 of this Paule." Hector here something detracts from the merits of Laurence.

 godlic (!) purpose of the lords, barons, gentlemen, and commons, who 
 were there assembled to the number of 3000 in on day's warning, they were 
 content to tak assurance for eight days, permitting unto us fredom of 
 religion in the mean time. In the whilk the Abbey of Lindores, a place of 
 black monks, distant from St Andrewis twelve myles, we reformed ; their 
 altars overthrew we ; their idols, vestments of idolatrie, and mass-books 
 we burnt in their presence, and commanded them to cast away their 
 monkish habits." » This was what the miscreant calls " freedom of 
 rehgion !" In 1585, the magistrates of Edinburgh purchased the Abbey 
 clock for fifty-five pounds Scots, and placed it in the steeple of St Giles' 
 cathedral.^ 
 
 The site of the Abbey of Lindores, like that of Balmerino, is beautiful, 
 and commands a somewhat similar view, overlooking the fertile shores of 
 the Tay. It was of old in the forest of Earnside, of which now not a trace 
 remains. Sibbald calls it " a right sweet situation, and of a most rich soil : 
 witness the vastly big old pear-trees there." Many of these remain to the 
 present day, and produce large quantities of most exquisite fruit. ** Age 
 cannot wither them ! " ^ 
 
 The building is now a complete mass of ivy-grown ruins, which, till 
 lately, supplied the commonalty of Newburgh with materials for the erec- 
 tion and repair of their houses. Aiiathema sint ! No views of the spot 
 are in existence.

 3 The monks were highly versed in the horticultural and agricultural sciences, as indeed 
 they were in all others. In the religious houses were preserved all those elements of civili- 
 zation on which modern existence hinges. How have they been requited ? Le hon terns

 a broken seal of the Abbey, is engraved in that ridiculous work, Cordi- 
 ner's Remarkable Ruins ofNortlt Brituhi," 4to, 1795. And in the Archce- 
 ologia, xiii, p. I9G, is an engraving of another seal, &c. with a dissertation 
 thereon by the Rev. John Brand. 
 
 From the beautiful drawings by Howlett after the original seals in the 
 Chapter House — now the property of the Bannatyne Club, facsimiles have 
 been executed in lithography by Mr Leith. The common abbatial seal 
 is placed on the title, and that of Abbot Thomas opposite page 1. For the 
 use of these drawings I am indebted to Mr Laing. 
 
 The tail-piece to the present remarks is from the same ancient map at 
 Oxford mentioned in the observations on the Book of Balmerino. 
 
 The " Liber Sancte ODarie de Lundoris," from which the following pages 
 have been printed, is a small square duodecimo paper volume, containing 
 thirty-one leaves, and is written in a very minute cramp hand.' It is, in 
 the valuable and laboriously constructed (!) Catalogue of MSS. in the 
 Advocates' Library, stated to have been " written about 1502." It is 
 pleasant to see conjecture treading so closely on the heels of a date ! The 
 foundation charter, oddly enough, is not copied in the Chartulary ; but 
 it is supplied (Appendix, No. I.) from the original in the Collections of 
 Sir James Balfour, now in the Faculty Library. 
 
 The concluding pages of the " Liber " contain loose memoranda, dated 
 1530, of the various articles of linen and furniture at Lindores and Eglis- 
 magirdell, where formerly was a church, and probably a seat belonging 
 to the abbots. Unfortunately these intei'esting inventories are extremely 
 defective, and nearly illegible. 
 
 ' A copy, I believe, exists in the Library at Aucbinleck.

 X INTRODUCTION. 
 
 Eglismagirdell, or, as it is now called, Exmagirdell, lies in the parish of 
 Dron, in Perthshire. It is thus noticed by the Rev. David Dow, in the 
 former Statistical Accoutit of Scotland, ix. 481, under the head of 
 " Antiquities : " — 
 
 " There have been, in former times, two small chapels in this parish. 
 One of these, which stood in the east comer of the parish, is now totally 
 in ruins, no vestige of it remaining except some part of the foundation 
 below ground, and human skulls and bones, which are sometimes dug up, 
 or discovered in the face of a bank where the soil is washed away by the 
 impetuous torrents of the Farg, on the verge of which it has stood, just at 
 the place where it issues from the mountains into the plain. The other is 
 in the west end of the parish, and still remains in a ruinous state ; the 
 walls are tolerably entire, with an enclosed burial-ground around it, which 
 is still the place of interment for many families in the parish and neigh- 
 bourhood. This part of the parish, which is entirely separated from the 
 rest by an interjacent part of the parish of Dunbarnie, bears the name of 
 Ecclesiamagirdle, the origin of which is uncertain ; but probably has been 
 given in honour of some saint. Some explain it to signify ' The Church of 
 St Magdalen.' These chapels may probably have been places of worship, 
 erected for the conveniency of the religious in this corner, who were 
 dependants on the Abbey of Lindores." 
 
 Mr Dow, with becoming propriety, confesses his own ignorance, and 
 that of others, of the origin of the word Eglismagirdell — a point on which 
 I regret my inability to throw any light. But my friend, the Rev. Dr 
 Anderson of Newburgh, speaking as usual ea; cathedra, says, in reference 
 to the Cross of Mugdrum, in the immediate vicinity, that " the term Mug- 
 drum is obviously a corruption of Magridden, the saint in whose honour it 
 may have been erected, and to whom the lands of Mugdrum were dedi- 
 cated." This, of course, the doctor's ape — the Mr Leighton aforesaid —

 duly approbates ; and further informs us, that to this, " the patron saint 
 of the district, the church of Ecclesia Hagridden, or Exmagirdle, as it is 
 now called, in Strathern, was also dedicated." 1 hope the reverend gentle- 
 man knows more of geology than hagiology ; for in the calendar of no 
 church is such a saint enrolled — certainly not in either that of Rome, 
 Greece, or England. What beatified names the inveterated annals of the 
 Kirk may embrace, I cannot say !
