The Abbeys of Arbroath, Balmerino, and Lindores is a historical book written by George Shaw Aitken in 1884. The book provides a detailed account of the three abbeys located in Scotland, namely Arbroath, Balmerino, and Lindores. The author delves into the history of each abbey, tracing their origins, construction, and eventual decline. The book is divided into three sections, each devoted to one of the abbeys. The first section covers Arbroath Abbey, which was founded in the 12th century and became one of the most important religious centers in Scotland. The author describes the architecture of the abbey, its role in Scottish history, and the events that led to its dissolution in the 16th century. The second section of the book focuses on Balmerino Abbey, which was founded in the 13th century by the Cistercian order. The author provides a detailed account of the abbey's founding, its growth and development, and its eventual downfall during the Scottish Reformation. The final section of the book covers Lindores Abbey, which was founded in the 12th century and became a center for the production of malt whisky. The author describes the architecture of the abbey, its role in the whisky industry, and the events that led to its eventual ruin. Overall, The Abbeys of Arbroath, Balmerino, and Lindores is a comprehensive and informative book that provides a fascinating insight into the history of three important religious institutions in Scotland.
