Balmerino Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Balmerino has only two parking spaces. It’s a jumping off point for the Fife Coastal Path. The sunsets are magnificent. @grumpyhighlander
Balmerino. The village street in Balmerino peters out into this track which leads to a few cottages on the shore of the Firth of Tay. Dundee can be seen in the distance on the opposite bank .

Balmerino Abbey In the year 1225 Queen Ermengarde, the widow of King William the Lion chose this spot to build an abbey and in 1229 a band of Cistercian monks came here from the abbey at Melrose.When she died in 1232 Ermengarde was buried beneath the high altar. The abbey flourished for some 300 years until in 1547 the Duke of Somerset sent an English fleet to set fire to it. A fine specimen of a Spanish Chestnut tree, over 700 years old, survives in what had been the monks orchard. The abbey is now in the care of the National Trust for Scotland.
