Abdie is a parish in north-west Fife, Scotland, lying on the south shore of the Firth of Tay on the eastern outskirts of Newburgh, extending about 3 miles eastwards to the boundary of Dunbog parish, with which it is now united ecclesiastically and for the Community Council. It is also bounded by Collessie on the south and has a small border with the parish of Moonzie in the south-east.

Contents

The civil parish has a population of 421 and its area is 4850 acres.

The parish contains the hamlet of Lindores on the north side of Lindores Loch, which is 4 miles in circumference and lies near the centre of the parish.

The present church was built in 1827, replacing the pre-reformation church, which still lies in ruins nearby. That church dated from 1242 and was an offshoot of Lindores Abbey, whose remains lie just outside Newburgh. Abdie and Dunbog parishes became a united charge under one minister from December 1965, with the church building in Dunbog closing in 1983 upon the ecclesiastical parish of Abdie and Dunbog being linked with Newburgh.


The parish seems originally to have had the name Lindores. However, when Lindores Abbey was granted a charter in 1178, the monks kept the old name and thereafter called the parish Abdie (or Abden), meaning “the lands pertaining to the Abbey of God”.

The parish was originally wider in extent and included the parish of Newburgh, but this was disjoined in 1633. Further in 1891 a detached portion of Abdie in the west was annexed to Newburgh, while another detached portion in the east was united to Dunbog, leaving the main portion as the present parish.
