The monks who were carrying his coffin of lead threw him overboard and the stretch of water has been known as Mortimers Deep ever since.Aberdour Hotel BarOur well-stocked bar with several real ale, beers, lager and, of course, a large selection of malt whiskies from Scotland's many distilleries. A coal fire in the winter, and always a warm welcome from our friendly staff and the "locals."2006 - We are proud to announce that once again we are featured in the latest CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) Good Beer GuideFifeFife is a wonderful area to visit, with many old harbour villages along the north shore of the Firth of Forth. Aberdour is one such village, with several old structures: St. Fillan's Church in existence in 1123 and still used today; Aberdour Castle built around 1200 by the Mortimer family and now in the care of Historic Scotland who welcome visitors; the Old Stone Pier built in the 1700's; the Victorian Railway Station built in the late nineteenth century to cater for rail traffic using the famous Forth Bridge. Just off-shore is Inchcolm Island, site of the best preserved monastic buildings in Scotland and aptly likened to the isle of Iona.
