  Benedictine Abbey of Lindores
Dowden, in his introduction to the Lindores chartulary, gives details of these endowments, as well as of the privileges granted to the abbey by successive popes: these do not seem to have differed from those enjoyed by other great monasteries.
Lindores was the first of the great Scottish abbeys to suffer violence from the Protestant mob, being sacked and the monks expelled by the populace of Dundee in 1543.
Knox describes a similar scene in 1559: "The abbey of Lindores 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".

Lindores, whom Mollet matched in the final, agreed: ‘I wasn’t able to put Alison under pressure, but whenever she was in trouble, she played perfect bowls and never let us get settled.’
