Visited Balmerino Abbey today. Very interesting. Burial place of Queen Ermengarde de Beaumont. Could do with a good tidy up.

A beautifully peaceful place to simply sit and listen to the birdsong. History under your feet. Sadly this could be far better renovated and researched but it’s still an amazing place.

Nice wee ruins of the old Abbey, if you like local history and are in the area. There is limited parking on a single lane road, please drive slowly. There is a 2 car carpark on the Fife Coastal path a couple of hundred yards further down from the entrance to the ruins and if you have time, a hundred yards down from the entrance there is a right-hand turn between the houses, this takes you on a single track road then drive a couple of hundred yards further on up the hill and you come across the local cemetery.

Small but lots of details. There is a fence right round but if you find yourself on the wrong side of it be careful. Also a wonderful old chestnut tree is there.

Peaceful ruins with a beautiful ancient tree and a nature trail that's great for dogs (and kids!) There's very little left standing except a few foundations, the chapter house and a vaulted cellar. Unfortunately it's not in a great state and looks on the verge of collapse. The site is managed by NTS so I'm surprised they haven't done anything about consolidating what remains. The chapter house is fenced off as a result.
