Balmerino Abbey Ruins

Highlight • Historical Site

Founded in 1229 by Queen Ermengarde, Balmerino Abbey was once a magnificent Cistercian monastery. These days, the ruins are an atmospheric place to explore. Serene and still, you are afforded lovely views over the Tay. Within the grounds there is a 400-year-old Spanish chestnut tree which is said to be the oldest tree in Fife.
