[Quotation]
"Our most noted antiquity is the church which will be afterwards advested to oc. [?] In the opposite extremity of the parish, nearly a mile and a half from the house of Newark there is still to be seen the old and ruined parish church of Abercrombie, abandoned as a place of worship for [190 years]. It stands in a sequestered and romantic situation nearly in the centre of original burying ground and close upon Sir Ralph Anstruther's enclosing and plantations. It is the burying place of the family of Balcaskie and of the minister of Abercrombie and family. A few families of the adjacent tenantry still use the burying-ground Abercrombie being the oldest remembered site of their ancestors." Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of Fifeshire. page 343.
