The origins of Newburgh date back to 1261 when a charter was drawn up by Lord Sinclair establishing a settlement here. Later he acquired the Chapel of the Holy Rood and St Thomas the Martyr in Inch Road. The Chapel is long gone, but the Udny Family Mausoleum which formed part of it can still be seen in the Holyrood Cemetery.
