 | | The most remarkable mansion is Inchrye House, a Gothic structure, with turrets and battlements, situated a little to the east of the Loch of Lindores, and figuring conspicuously in some of the finest views of the Parish. |
 | | The village of Lindores, near the foot of the Loch, is a place of great antiquity, and it contains some vestiges of a castle, which is said to have belonged to McDuff, the first Thane of Fife. |
 | | Balfour relates that, in the vicinity of this castle, a battle was fought between the Scots under Wallace, and the English, in June, 1300, in which the latter sustained a loss of 3000 killed, and 500 prisoners ; and Blind Harry states that, after the battle, Wallace and his companions retired to the castle. |
