The Aberdour Hotel (Aberdour House) was built in the 17th century. The Earls of Morton resided here, as the previous residence, Aberdour Castle, was no longer up to date. Today, the hotel offers not only accommodation but also a restaurant with very good Scottish cuisine.

St Fillan's Church Hall

Highlight • Religious Site

The new St. Fillan's Church in the centre of Aberdour was built in 1790. It replaced the ruined St. Fillan's Church in East Aberdour as the parish church.
When the church in East Aberdour was renovated, renewed and rebuilt in 1926, it lost its parish status again and has since been used as a church hall, mainly for events.
Outside, there is also a monument in honour of the soldiers from Aberdour who fell in the First and Second World Wars.
