Although it is a small town, Newburgh offers plenty of treasures for visitors. Nearby stand the remains of Macduff's Cross, which (in legend) marks the spot where the clan Macduff was given sanctuary privileges.

Also of interest is Denmylne Castle, an abandoned 15th century castle once the home of the Balfour of Denmylne family. The ruins of Lindores Abbey are picturesque and you can still trace the ground plan of the whole structure. The monks who lived here were famous for their orchards, and these days many of the nearby houses have orchards with trees descended from the original plantings.

Lindores Abbey Distillery and Visitor Centre opened its doors in August 2017, and includes an innovative distillery and a centre celebrating the remarkable heritage of Lindores Abbey’s founding Tironensian monks via a stunning cloister exhibition and events space.
