ELEVENTH REPORT
OF THE
ROYAL COMMISSION ON THE ANCIENT AND
HISTORICAL MONUMENTS OF SCOTLAND
TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MAJESTY, -
We, Your Majesty's Commissioners, appointed to make an Inventory of the
Ancient and Historical Monuments and Constructions connected with or illustrative
of the contemporary culture, civilisation, and conditions of life of the people in
Scotland from the earliest times to the year 1707, and to specify those which seem
most worthy of preservation, humbly present to Your Majesty this our Eleventh
Report. The Inventory deals with the monuments and constructions in the counties
of Fife, Kinross, and Clackmannan, and appended to the Report is a list of those
which, in the opinion of Your Commissioners, seem most worthy of preservation.
The list is divided into two groups: (a) those which appear to be specially in need of
protection, and (b) those worthy of preservation but not in imminent risk of demoli-
tion or decay.
We tender to Your Majesty our respectful thanks for the gracious message
which accompanied Your Majesty's acceptance of the volume embodying our
previous Report with Inventory of Monuments in Midlothian and West Lothian.
Your Commissioners desire to acknowledge the ready co-operation of owners of
lands and historic buildings in the area under review. They would also express
their thanks to Mr. Brian C. Clayton for a number of photographs; to the Society of
Antiquaries of Scotland for the use of blocks and other facilities; and, for special
assistance in various ways, to the Earl of Crawford and Balcarres, Sir Ralph Anstruther
of Balcaskie, Dr. Francis J. Grant, Lyon King of Arms, Professors Rose, Baxter,
and Waterston of St. Andrews, Professors Kennedy and Calder, Edinburgh, Professor

HISTORICAL MONUMENTS (SCOTLAND) COMMISSION.
In the present volume three counties are treated together in consideration of
their occupying a peninsular area, which results in their having much local history
in common. The district under survey has been greatly affected by the extensive
reclamation of land from the wild within late historic time, and also by develop-
ment of the mining industry. These operations have necessarily involved the
destruction of much prehistoric material, the previous existence whereof is vouched
for, in a number of cases, by printed records. Nevertheless, enough material remains
to illustrate the earliest occupation of the area, some of it indeed of special value.
In common with the rest of Scotland this district has suffered grievously in the
destruction of ancient ecclesiastical buildings. In Fife alone there were eleven
monastic establishments, including houses of friars, among the more important being
the Augustinian Priory of the metropolitan see of St. Andrews and the Benedictine
Abbey of Dunfermline with its early and late association with Royalty. Fortunately,
part of the house of Grey Friars at Inverkeithing has escaped the ruthless ruin that
has obliterated so many noble buildings
As regards secular architecture Fife, since the sixteenth century, has been
remarkable for the number and distinction of its baronial residences, whereof a con-
siderable number still remain and are duly recorded in the Inventory.
Noteworthy, also, are the structural survivals in the ancient royal burghs in
Fife, of which so many once flourished on the southern coast as to give it a distinctive
pre-eminence.
Your Commissioners wish to record their sense of the loss sustained through the
death of Dr. Thomas Ross, an original member of the Commission, upon whose
counsel as an erudite architect they had frequent occasion to rely. They welcome
the appointment of Mr. James Archibald Morris, R.S.A., F.R.I.B.A., to fill the
vacancy.
Your Commissioners have further to deplore the loss of an esteemed colleague in
the person of Professor Gerald Baldwin Brown who, after taking a full share
in preparing the present Report, died on 12th July 1932. He had served on
the Commission since its original appointment in 1908, and, as Professor of Fine Art
in the University of Edinburgh, was specially qualified to take a useful part
in its work.

INTRODUCTION
TO
INVENTORY OF ANCIENT AND HISTORICAL MONUMENTS
AND CONSTRUCTIONS IN THE COUNTIES OF FIFE, KINROSS,
AND CLACKMANNAN
The area embraced by the present Report and Inventory comprises the
neighbouring counties of Fife, Kinross, and Clackmannan, which for convenience,
have been treated together.
1.
ARCHAEOLOGICAL REMAINS.
These counties form a partially isolated geographical unit between the North Sea
on the east, the Firth of Tay on the north, the Firth of Forth on the south, and on
the west the Ochil Hills, which rise steeply above the gorge of Allan Water near its
junction with the River Forth and extend north-eastwards for a distance of 27 miles
to the Firth of Tay at Newburgh. The area thus defined is about 52 miles in extreme
length, roughly east and west, by 21 miles in the greatest breadth. Naturally, it has
always been most accessible from the sea, particularly as through the whole range
of the Ochil Hills on the landward side there are but three practicable passes, that
of Glendevon, which at one point rises to a height of 900 feet above sea-level, that
of Glenfarg nine miles farther to the north-east, and that of Lindores above the shore
of the Firth of Tay, the two latter being now followed by railways. The Ochils
are continued eastwards in a double line parallel to the Firth of Tay till they reach
the barren waste known as Tents Moor, while to the south another stretch of uplands
radiates eastwards from the Lomonds on the border of Kinross to widen out into the
high-lying moors of the East Neuk between St. Andrews Bay and Largo Bay. These
two lines of higher land enclose the flat Howe of Fife, which is the western part
of the strath of the River Eden. To the south-west is another hilly region, whose
highest points are the Saline Hills on the border of Clackmannan, and the Cleish
Hills on that of Kinross.
Much of the area under review was in ancient times covered with forest, which,
however, by the sixteenth century had been almost completely cut down. ¹ On the
level stretches, too, were many lakes ² which have since been drained away in the
course of agricultural improvement, leaving little or no trace of their former existence.
In the neighbourhood of these sheets of water and in many other parts were morasses
or peat-bogs, the former presence of which is still attested either by place-names
or by documents.

HISTORICAL MONUMENTS (SCOTLAND) COMMISSION).
No structural remains or pottery of a definitely Neolithic character are recorded
from Fife, Kinross, or Clackmannan, which in this respect present a parallel with
the Lothians. ¹ It must be noted, however, that some artifacts of a very early
type have been found. From the island of Inchkeith (No. 347), which is included in
the parish of Kinghorn, came bone "flaking-tools" of a type associated at Oban
and on the island of Oronsay with remains which are representative of a pre- Neolithic

culture. In each of the three counties under review stray implements of stone, includ-
ing flint, have been picked up in various localities, chiefly near the sea, and about a score
of such axe-heads and perforated axe-hammers are lodged in the National Museum,
while quite as many more exist in private collections. There have also been sporadic
finds of flint arrow-heads in Fife, but only one example is known to have come from
Clackmannan, and none from Kinross-shire. Since stone continued to be used in such
1 Cf. Inventories : East Lothian and Midlothian and West Lothian. Since the publication of the former
Inventory many fragments of pottery vessels have been found at Hedderwick, East Lothian, which, it is
thought, may belong "either to the late Stone Age or to the overlap period between it and the Bronze
Age." - Proc. Soc. Ant. Scot., 1xiii (1928-9), p. 35.

ways long after the introduction of metal, these later artifacts cannot, of course,
be definitely set down as Neolithic any more than can the two dug-out canoes of
oak, one of them 28 feet long, which were found in the estuary of the Tay opposite
Newburgh, or the two that were embedded in the sand of Port Ling, betwen North
Queensferry and Inverkeithing. ¹
If a possible explanation of the absence of sepulchral monuments of the Neo-
lithic phase of culture, as well as of the scarcity of stone artifacts in these eastern
counties of Scotland, is the existence of natural obstacles which discouraged men
of Neolithic culture from effective settlement, these were obviously less serious
for a people possessing tools of metal. This may be why relics of a Bronze culture
survive in fair quantity. Inspection of the Distribution Map (Fig. 2) shows that
prehistoric remains of this class generally occur within the regions of higher ground
described above, being found at moderate elevations between the loftier ridges,
a fact which might be taken to indicate the preference of the early people for elevated
sites as settlements. On the other hand, it must be kept in mind that the record may
not be at all complete, as on the lower levels prehistoric remains would suffer most
from the extension of agriculture and the growth of local industries. Many monu-
ments, indeed, we know have been destroyed in this way. For example, at one
time "there appears to have been a number of tumuli" in the neighbourhood of
Burntisland, ² of which there is now no evidence; in the parish of Kettle eight barrows,
three of which had specific names, have disappeared under the plough; ³ and "several
cairns or tumuli, composed of small stones" in the parish of Forgan ⁴ no longer exist.
Similar records of monuments which have not survived come from the parishes of
Saline, ⁵ Newburgh, ⁶ Balmerino, ⁷ Collessie, ⁸ Cupar, ⁹ etc.
SEPULCHRAL MONUMENTS.
Cairns and Tumuli. - The total number of such monuments mentioned in the
Inventory is 63, including several of which there is authentic record but which
have now entirely disappeared. Even those of which there is still material evidence
have been greatly reduced in size, occasionally to an extent which leaves their
character only just discernible. With the exception of that on the West Lomond
(No. 501), which is at an altitude of 1721 feet, they occur at heights varying from 150
to 500 feet above sea-level.
These monuments are usually cairns of stone, but two of them are earthen
tumuli, while others of the same character are believed to have existed formerly.
The example at Cairnfield Muir (No. 114) in the parish of Collessie is one of the few
examples in Scotland of the "bell-barrow," i.e. of a circular burial-mound sur-
rounded by a ditch. But three which were apparently of the same type seem to have
existed at one time on the adjoining lands of Melville Muir (cf. No. 115).
Some of the cairns of stone were originally of considerable size. Thus from
that on Gask Hill, Newton of Collessie (No. 116), which was excavated in 1876-7,
"upwards of a thousand cart-loads of stones were removed." ¹° Similarly, Harelaw

Cairn (No. 55) was, before excavation, "composed of several hundred cart-loads of
stones," ¹ and the great cairn on the West Lomond also would appear to have been
at one time much larger than it now is.
Such of these constructions as have been excavated were found to possess certain
features in common. Within the margin of each was a setting of stones, which at
Calais Muir (No. 215) was continuou,s but at Newton of Collessie and Greenhill
(No. 63) was incomplete or incompleted, ² while at Harelaw Cairn the stones formed
the foundations of a wall, and at Norrie's Law (No. 378) of two rude concentric
walls. At Balbirnie (No. 418) this feature seems to be represented by an external
circle of standing stones. Again, each cairn had apparently been raised over a central
cist for an unburnt burial, but secondary interments of cremated remains were found
in the subsoil, except in the case of Calais Muir, where they were in the body of the
tumulus. In the Harelaw Cairn and at Calais Muir the central cist had its joints
cemented with a clay or ochreous substance. From the cist at Newton of Collessie
came half of a handsome urn of drinking-cup or "beaker" type (Fig. 7); at Calais
Muir the urn within the cist was a "food-vessel," while there was no urn in the cist
of Harelaw Cairn. On the other hand, the urns from the burials in the subsoil of the
cairns were mostly food-vessels, ³ although one from the Newton example was of the
beaker type, and in the Calais Muir tumulus the secondary interments were all
accompanied by cinerary urns. A tapering blade of bronze was found in one of the
burials underlying the cairn at Newton, Collessie. These facts appear to provide
evidence of the cairns having been intermittently used for sepulchral purposes
throughout at least the greater part of the period that immediately preceded the
introduction of iron.
Burials without Cairn or Tumulus : Cemeteries. - The number of burials of
this class throughout the district is very large. Of isolated examples the most interest-
ing is that recorded at Dairsie, Fife (No. 179), where a beaker urn (Fig. 5) and four barbed
arrow-heads of flint (Fig. 14) were found within a cist. Grouped burials, however, forming
small cemeteries, have been reported in greater numbers from Fife than from any other
county in Scotland. One at Pitreavie (No. 217) contained six cists placed close to
each other, from which came three urns of food-vessel type. At Wormistone (No. 133)
were thirty cists disposed in two regular rows at equal distances apart. There is
also a record ⁴ of a group of over a dozen cists, containing cinerary urns and "incense-
cups" at Denbeath near Methil. More numerous than the cemeteries of cists are
those of cinerary urns containing cremated remains. At Kingskettle, in the parish of
Kettle, (No. 309) four cinerary urns and one apparently of the incense-cup variety
occurred together. An urnfield in the parish of Ceres (No. 110) is said to have consisted
of a central urn with thirty others arranged round it in a circle. At Lawhead,
St Andrews, (No. 483) were found a score of cinerary urns containing or covering burnt
bones. A determining fact here was the discovery in one urn of "two thin bronze knives
1 Proc. Soc. Ant. Scot., xxvi (1891-2), p. 117.
2 At Newton "we did not meet with it on the south-east side.... It seemed therefore as if it had not
completely encircled the cairn." - Anderson's Scotland in Pagan Times, p. 5.
3 The food-vessel is confined to the British Isles and is believed to have been evolved from a Neolithic
type, while the larger cinerary urn is regarded as the direct descendant of the food-vessel. Further, the
appearance of the beaker, which was introduced from the Continent, is believed to coincide with the
beginning of a Bronze culture, and the cinerary urn to be a product of its full development.

about 3 inches in length." In the parish of Creich two such groups are noted, one at
Carphin House (No. 146), in which fourteen out of twenty-two urns were placed singly
three feet apart in a row; and another at Craiglog (No. 147), where six were simply
crowded together. At Westwood, near Newport, (No. 274) nine or ten urns were
disposed on the circumference of a circle 14 feet in diameter, two of them being small
ones within larger vessels. The features common to five of these urn cemeteries -

Drummy Wood (No. 308), Westwood, Lawhead, and two in Creich parish,
have been summarised in Proc. Soc. Ant. Scot., xiii (1878-9), p. 113, and they are
characteristic of all the examples noted above: the cinerary urns are nearly all of
the same form, they have similar ornamentation, they were set in the earth at slight
depths beneath the surface, and they were in most cases inverted over the cremated
remains. In a recent discovery at Cowdenbeath (No. 58), ¹ however, five urns had all
been set upright on their flat bases.
Two small cemeteries are recorded from the parish of Orwell in Kinross-shire,
that near Shanwell House (No. 580), where one of the four urns contained an
ornamented oval bronze blade (Fig. 17), and the other near the Standing Stones

(No. 577). In the neighbourhood of Hawk Hill, Clackmannanshire, (No. 595) an
unspecified number of cists contained in all twenty-two cinerary urns, and from one
of the burials were recovered two fine penannular rings of gold.
Stone Circles. - Out of six circles of standing stones existing or known to have
existed in Fife and Clackmannanshire three have totally disappeared. No surviving
example is complete, the group of seven stones at Balbirnie (cf. No. 418) being really,
as already mentioned, an outer setting to a round cairn. At Lundin Links in Largo
parish, Fife, (No. 379) three irregularly shaped pillars of red sandstone, varying in
height from about 10 to 17 feet, are evidently the surviving units of a circle approxi-
mately 54 feet in diameter. One other stone at least is known to have stood here
formerly, while there is a record also of "ancient sepulchres" having been found
"near them."
Standing Stones. - Twenty-one standing stones - apart from symbol stones,
early Christian monuments, and isolated boulders such as boundary stones - have
been noted as surviving in the counties at elevations varying from 100 to 500 feet
above sea-level, and others are known to have existed. In two Fife cases, one at
Glassmount in Kinghorn parish (No. 346) and the other at Balfarg in Markinch
parish (No. 420), and in one case in Kinross-shire (No. 577) they are in pairs. A
standing stone on the farm of Easter Pitcorthie in Carnbee parish, Fife, (No. 88) ¹ is
covered with cup-markings of varying size scattered indiscriminately over the upper
portion of the south face, and in the centre of these markings, there is also a very
clearly cut impression shaped like a human foot. ² The upper portion of the north face
is badly weathered, but there are indefinite traces of cup-markings near the base.
The stone at West Pitcorthie in Kilrenny parish, Fife, (No. 332) has on its eastern
face a series of hollows closely resembling small cup-marks, but they are of doubtful
character. On the one at Torryburn (No. 526), however, the cup-marks on its eastern
face are perfectly clear. What appears to have been a holed stone (Scottice, "thirlstane")
- the only perforated example in the county - has been recorded from the farm of
Craigs, near Dunfermline ( No. 209). The remainder are undressed pillars of varying
size without any features of special interest. In Clackmannanshire only one stone
(No. 612) survives, while in Kinross-shire the single instance is that of the stones at
Orwell, noted above.
Two standing stones, namely that at Newton of Collessie (No. 117) and the
"Skeith Stone" (No. 331), are not here included in this class, since they bear sculptur-
ings which seem to bring them into a different category.
Certain stones still bear the name of " Lecker Stane" ( No. 569) or " Lecture
Stane" (Nos. 552, 569), and others are known to have been so called. The name
clearly reproduces the "Lykyrstyne" of an early document, ³ where it is defined as "a
heap of stones" (acervus lapidum) i.e. a burial cairn. The cases cited, however, are
single stones.
1. The place-name "Pitcorthie," which includes the old Gaelic coirthe, "a pillar stone" (cf. Prof.
Watson's Celtic Place Names of Scotland, p. 412), occurs in three parishes in the county of Fife, namely
Carnbee, Dunfermline, and Kilrenny, and in each instance a standing stone is found in the immediate
vicinity (cf. Nos. 88, 208 and 332). This association has been noted also elsewhere in Scotland (cf. Proc.
Soc. Ant. Scot.. xxxvii (1902-3) p. 211.

II.
HISTORY.
i.
According to an early tradition Fife (Fib) formed one of the seven provinces of
Pictland, ³ and a Pictish population is attested by the number of place -names with
the prefix Pit or Pet(h), which occasionally alternates with its Gaelic equivalent
Baile, a "township," as in Pitcruivie or Balcruvie, Pitskellie or Balskellie. ⁴ This
Gaelic intrusion probably followed the union of Picts and Scots about the middle of
the 9th century under a Scottish or Gaelic dynasty as the kingdom of Alba. Thereafter
Fife is associated with a district known as " Fothreve," which at a later time was the
name of a deanery in the diocese of St. Andrews. Its original boundaries are not
specified, but as a deanery it covered everything east of the Ochils as far as an
irregular line drawn from the mouth of the River Leven to the neighbourhood of
Newburgh. A 12th century tract ⁵ describes the "region" of Fife and Fothreve
as one of those formerly governed by a sub-king (regulus), and possibly to this
source may be traced the popular designation of the province as "the kingdom
of Fife".
Under Gaelic rule the district took on a fresh importance. In 908 St. Andrews
became the seat of the "bishop of Alba" (cf. p .xlvi). Macbeth (1040-57) and his
wife Gruoch head the list of beneficiaries of the Culdees of Lochleven (No. 581), and
other gifts of land were made by later monarchs. Macbeth's successor, Malcolm III,
"Canmore", established his royal residence at Dunfermline. Thus for a time Fife
was the seat of both political and ecclesiastical power.
In 1067 the Princess Margaret of England was driven by contrary winds to land
at Rosyth and was hospitably received at Dunfermline, where three years later she
married Malcolm Canmore. To this marriage can be traced the Anglo-Norman in-
fluence which became so powerful in the reigns of her sons and great-grandsons.
Queen Margaret herself was a patroness of the Culdees, and founded at Dunfermline
the church of the Holy Trinity. The nobler structure (No. 197), which succeeded it,
however, was erected by her son David I, who with his immediate successors initiated
far-reaching reforms, both ecclesiastical and political. New bishoprics were con-
stituted, religious houses founded, and parishes took shape, each with its own church
and priest, while the Scottish kingdom was feudalised on Anglo-Norman lines.

The Wars of Independence in the 14th century did not involve, as they did
elsewhere, any considerable change in the ownership of land in the district, except,
indeed, at Leuchars (cf. p. xlii). During the earlier stages of the struggle at least, the
population was nationalist in its activities. ¹ In May and June 1306 Edward I was
pressing for the arrest of William Lamberton, Bishop of St. Andrews who had "done
him all the mischief in his power ... and joined his enemies". ² The castle of Cupar
had been occupied by Bishop Wishart of Glasgow on behalf of Bruce, but the place
was captured by the English before June 8, and to the delight of the English king,
Wishart in it. ³ Sir John de "Cambhou" or Cambo, near Kingsbarns, was among the
prisoners taken at Methven on June 10 and was duly hanged. ⁴ At this time, too, the
English king was instructing Sir Aymer de Valence to "burn, destroy, and strip the
lands of Sir Michael de Wymes's (Weymss's) manor . . . and all his other manors. " ⁵
Other Fife magnates among the "rebels" against Edward were Thomas de Balcaskie ⁶
and Walter de Bickerton, who was the leader in a Scottish attempt to recapture the
castle of Cupar in 1308. ⁷
When war was renewed in support of Edward Balliol's claim to the crown, the
peninsula was more directly involved than before, but the landowners now acted
chiefly in the English interest. This was mainly a result of of its geographical position.
The invaders, operating not only with an army, but with a fleet in the firths, could
force the inhabitants to support them as a matter of self-interest. In August 1332
Edward Balliol landed with a small force at Kinghorn and in a successful engagement
at Dupplin or Dalry, near Perth, Duncan, Earl of Fife, was taken prisoner and there-
after discharged his hereditary office in placing the crown upon the head of Balliol at
Scone. Fighting, however, soon shifted to other quarters, and in April 1335 the
supporters of King David held a parliament at Dairsie, Fife. ⁸ In the same year the
castle of Lochleven (No. 567) was besieged unsuccessfully by the English and
"Anglicised Scots," the latter including the Fife lords Michael de Arnot, Michael and
David de Wemyss, and Richard de Melville, while the keeper of the castle was Alan
de Vipont, with whom was James Lamby, a citizen of St Andrews. ⁹ Other Anglicised
Scots, held the castle of Cupar which was besieged by Sir Andrew de Moray, the
new Guardian of the realm, whose appointment was confirmed at Dunfermline. ¹° In
1336 two Anglo-Scottish knights, Henry de Beaumont and Henry de Ferrers, rebuilt
the castles of St. Andrews and Leuchars, but in the following February, Sir Andrew
de Moray, with whom the Earl of Fife was now associated on the national side, entered
Fife, threw down the tower of Falkland, and captured and destroyed the "peel" of
Leuchars, the castle of St. Andrews, and all the other fortresses of Fife, except Cupar,
which, however, was surrendered two years later. ¹¹
Cupar owed its importance to its commanding position between St Andrews,

272. Armorial Panel and Vault, Newton Farm.
- This panel is built into the gable on the west
side of the cart-shed. It is divided into two
parts. In the upper is a shield, surmounted by
mantling and a helm with a demi-griffin
segreant for crest, all beneath a label with the
motto, GRIP FAST. The shield is supported by
griffins and bears : Quarterly, 1st and 4th,
three buckles on a bend, for Leslie ; 2nd and
3rd, a lion rampant, for Abernethy - the whole
representing Leslie of that ilk. In the lower
portion of the panel is a shield supported by
'wodehouses' and bearing : A chevron be-
tween three crescents, probably for Dury.
Below the shield is a very weatherworn label,
bearing what seem to be the initials D.L. and
V.D.
In another part of the steading stands a small
vaulted chamber measuring internally 9 feet
4 inches by 8 feet 11 inches, the only surviving
fragment of a small 17th-century house, which
has been L-shaped on plan.

SITES.
273. Cairn, Northfield. - The site of this cairn
occupies a conspicuous position on the crest of
the ridge to the south of Northfield farm. The
structure has been described as "composed
of earth, with a cairn of stones in the centre, in
the middle of which a stone coffin was got
containing a great quantity of bones. The coffin
was of large size, made of roughly polished
yellow sandstone." Cf. Proc. Soc. Ant. Scot.,

274. Urn-Field at Westwood. - About the end
of October 1865 an urn-field with the urns
apparently set out regularly in the form of a
ring, was discovered at Westwood, near New-
port, in the line of the road or carriage drive to
the house. The find was described in detail at
the time to the Society of Antiquaries of
Scotland. See Proc. Soc. Ant. Scot., (1865-6),

similar setting is recorded from the parish of
Ceres (cf. No. 110).

ECCLESIASTICAL BUILDINGS.
275. Parish Church, Inverkeithing. - In 1825
the parish church, dedicated to St. Peter, was
destroyed by fire, the only part that survived
entire being the west tower. When the church
was rebuilt on the foundations of the nave in
the following year, this tower was retained in
its original position (Fig. 299). The body of it
dates from the 14th century, though the parapet
is not earlier than the 16th. It is square on plan
and at each of the western angles has two
rectangularly disposed buttresses of two stages
with tabled tops. A fifth buttress covers the
junction of tower and church on the north,
while an oblique projection at the south-east
angle contains a wheel-stair. There are two
string-courses on the wall. The tower was
entered originally from the two pointed arch-
ways still to be seen inside the lowest storey.
The first of these, which is in the north wall, is

complete but for its inner member, and gives
access to a modern session-house built against
the tower, while the second, which lies in the
south wall opposite, is filled in. The present
entrance is on the ground floor and like the spire
is modern. The two storeys immediately above
it are lit by lancets, some of which have been
restored, while the third storey, which is the
bell-chamber, has a two-light decorated window
with later transoms in each wall, but the
window facing east is now covered by the nave
roof. The parapet is low and it is borne on
separate corbels, each of two members. The
masonry is rubble.
BELL. - In the bell-chamber hangs a bell
measuring 2 feet 4 inches in diameter and 1 foot
10 1/2 inches in height ; the canons are complete.
A floral crestwork beneath the crown surmounts
the inscription : MICHAEL BVRGHERHVYS ME
FECIT ANNO 1641 SOLI DEO GLORIA.
FONT. - A fine font (Figs. 293-4) stands in the
church. It was found in two portions - the sup-
port within the churchyard, the bowl within the
tower. The bowl, which dates from the 16th cen-
tury, is hexagonal on plan and measures 3 feet 7
inches in greatest breadth. On the six sides are six
panels each containing a shield held by an angel,
which bears arms thus : (1) A lion rampant within
a double tressure flory-counter-flory, the Royal
arms. (2) The same as (1), impaling five bars
wavy, for Robert III and his wife Annabella
Drummond (cf. No. 285). (3) A fess checky
between three crescents, for Stewart. ¹ (4)
Quarterly, 1st and 4th, three bay leaves, for
Foulis of Colinton (?), 2nd and 3rd, a saltire and
chief, wavy, for Bruce of Balcaskie (?).* (5) A
fess between three crescents, for Melville of
Glenbervie. ² (6) An eagle displayed sur-
mounted by a bend charged with three crescents,
for Ramsay of Denoune, Forfarshire. ³ The font
has a total height of 4 feet 2 inches. The sup-
port for the bowl dates from the late 14th
century and consists of clustered shafts with
fillets. The capitals, now much destroyed, have
been enriched with foliage, while the bases are
moulded.
* These are uncertain as no connection with the
burgh can be traced to either family.
TOMBSTONE. - In a burial enclosure, erected
on the foundation of the old choir at the east
end of the modern church, is a recumbent slab
measuring 6 feet by 2 feet 7 1/2 inches. An
inscription running round the margin and
terminating in the upper part of the slab reads :
HIC IACET / IOHANNES HALIDAY DE TVLLIBOLL /
ADVOCATVS / QVI SVMMO OMNIVM CVM MOERORE
/ OBIIT 19 SEPT / 1606 AETATIS / SVAE 57.
("Here lies John Halliday of Tullibole who, to
the great grief of all, died 19 Sept. 1606, aged
57 years.") In the middle of the slab, between
the initials I.H. and E.H., for John Halliday
and Elizabeth Hay, is a shield parted per pale :
dexter, a chevron between three cinquefoils,
sinister, three escutcheons. Beneath the shield
is the inscription : QVI IN CHR/ISTO MORIT/VR
MINIME MORITVR ("He does not die at all who
dies in Christ").

276. "The Palace" or Hospitium of the Grey
Friars. - This building (Figs. 298, 301), on the
east side of Queen Street has the appearance of
a late 17th-century tenement but, on examina-
tion, its walls were found to represent part of
the western range of the cloister buildings of the
Grey Friars and to date mainly from the 14th
century. The range had originally extended
farther to the south, while at the opposite end
it ran as far as the north gable of the house now
standing on the north of "the Palace." What
is left is three storeys in height and is L-shaped
on plan, with the wing projecting eastward in
alignment with the south gable. In the 17th
century the main block was remodelled, while
the western half of the wing from the first floor
upwards was entirely rebuilt. To suit the
rearrangement, two forestairs were added facing
the street, while a newel-stair was built at the
back within the re-entrant angle.
The newel-stair covers the inner end of a
vaulted transe passing through the ground
floor of the main block. Of the outer archway
of the transe only the rear-arch remains, but
the inner archway, with its rear-arch, is com-

plete. The wing contains two vaulted cellars,
now originally entered from the transe, but
now from outside. Each cellar has a hatch in
the ceiling. The east vault may be secondary.
Within the main block a long cellar, ceiled
with a lofty, pointed barrel-vault occupies the
space on the north side of the transe. It is
entered directly from the street through a
modern doorway. At the north-western corner

there seems to have been a small newel-stair.
The cellar has latterly been subdivided, and an
entresol floor, approached by a wooden stair-
case, has been inserted within the southern
division. Its north gable contains a wide, arched
fireplace with a cupboard on each side. The
windows and doors are comparatively modern.
The upper floors of the main block have been
so extensively remodelled that the only feature
of special interest now traceable is a built-up
lancet window in the west wall at first-floor
level. On the other hand, the upper floors of
the wing, although partly rebuilt, have been
less completely altered. At first-floor level
the vaulted chamber at the east end is mainly
original, but the windows are modern. It has
a built-up fireplace in the east gable, while the
north wall shows the top of the original door
below. Above this chamber is another, which
has been modernised.
On the east side of "the Palace" lay a court,
the size of which is indeterminate, since of the
buildings that enclosed it on the three other
sides there remain but three vaulted cellars to
the north, clearly part of the undercroft of a
north range. These apartments are mainly of
the 14th century, but have been to some extent
reconstructed, since their vaults are badly
adjusted to the back wall. The most easterly
of them seems to have had a staircase passing
through the haunch of the vault at the south-

eastern corner and a flue at the corner dia-
gonally opposite, while there is a similar flue
in the cellar adjoining.
The ground plan shows the area mainly
occupied by the Friary, but there were
evidently other buildings in the orchard that
extended eastwards to the shore. On the plan the
remains of the original structures are coloured
black, such parts as have been rebuilt being
indicated by hatching or stippling.
HISTORICAL NOTE. - This house can be deter-
mined to be that described in a charter of 1605
as "the hospitium of Inverkeithing with the
gardens... which formerly belonged to the
Friars of the Order of St. Francis in Inver-
keithing." ¹ In 1384 the house of the Grey or
Minorite Friars in Inverkeithing was made free
of all secular burdens whatsoever. ² The con-
tributor to the Statistical Account (1793) ³ refers
to the fact that Dominican* and Fran-
ciscan Friars had convents in the town, and
continues : "There is a house called the Inns,
which still has peculiar privileges and exemp-
tions, not being within the jurisdiction of the
magistrates, and appears to have been one of
them, from its form, vaults, high garden walls,
and other buildings." In the article on the
parish in the New Statistical Account (1836) ⁴
it is stated that "An old tenement, named
'the Inns' is said to have been the residence of
Annabella Drummond, Queen of Robert III.
... The house is exempted from burgh juris-
diction, though in the middle of the town."
Mr. W. Moir Bryce writes that "there is good
reason to believe that an ancient building known
as the Palace now stands on the old friary
demesne, if it does not enclose a part of its
buildings, because the boundaries of the area
occupied by the Palace, from the street on the
north to the foreshore on the south, correspond
in general terms to those contained in the old
title deeds of the Friary." ⁵ It is clear, however,
that in the "Palace" we have the actual
hospitium of the Grey Friars. Part of the
domestic buildings of the Black Friars at St.
Andrews was known, while it still existed, as
"the Palace." ⁶ similar usage is noted in
connection with the Priory at Pittenweem
(No. 444). For other cases see Introd. p. lvii.
The name of "Inns" for a hospitium also has

a parallel in St. Andrews (No. 458). From the
name of a late 17th-century proprietor the
present building was known as "Rotmell's
Inn." For the history of the ownership of the
house and lands after the Reformation reference
may be made to the History of Inverkeithing
and Rosyth by the Rev. Wm. Stephen, pp. 302-7.

SECULAR BUILDINGS.
277. Rosyth Castle. - Until recent years this
castle stood on a small island, little more than
an outcrop of rock accessible at low tide, on
the foreshore of St. Margaret's Hope. The
reclamation of land in connection with the
Admiralty Dockyard, has, however, brought
the site well inland. The existing remains are
those of a rectangular enclosure of 16th- and
17th-century date abutting at the north-east
angle on a late 15th-century tower, which,
though slightly altered, is complete and in much
better condition than the rest of the buildings.
The tower had originally been attached to an
unusually lofty barmkin, 40 to 50 feet in height,
which was demolished, probably to gain light
and air, when the walls of the later enclosure
were erected with a series of lower structures
resting against their inner sides. The south
range is entirely destroyed, while the east and
west ranges are represented at their southern
ends merely by foundations, and are elsewhere
extremely ruinous. Of the north range, how-
ever, sufficient is left to indicate that it com-
prised a vaulted ground-floor and two upper
floors and was surmounted by a parapet-walk,
terminating at the north-west angle in a round
and at the eastern end against the tower. The
enclosed area has measured 60 feet from north
to south by 72 feet from east to west.
The entrance (Fig. 303) is in the north range
and opened into a transe, which was in all
likelihood once vaulted. The gateway is set
forward and may be rather later than the walling
behind. In the angles of the projection are
gun-loops, while other gun-loops are set in the

lower part of the outer wall of the enclosure.
Above the gate are two armorial panels. The
lower, enclosed by a plain moulded border, is
wholly illegible. The upper, more elaborately
framed, contains within a garland, flanked by
the initials M[ARIA] R[EGINA], each below a
crown, the Royal Arms of Scotland ensigned
with a crown, beside which is the date 1561.
Below the garland is a unicorn couchant. At
the level of the panels, beside the old tower,
are the remains of a turret-stair, which rose
from the first to the upper floor, the former
being probably reached by a forestair within
[Plans inserted]

the enclosure. In the 17th century a turnpike,
rising from the ground, was built against the
east gable of the south range, but only portions
of its foundations have survived. On the east
side of the entrance is a small chamber and
there are three chambers to the west, all mainly
of the 16th century, but a fourth chamber on
the western side of the courtyard is of 17th-
century date.
The old tower (Fig. 300), standing to a height
of 58 feet, measures 41 feet 6 inches by 48 feet
3 inches over walls which are 10 feet thick,
while a small wing projects southwards from the
south-east angle to give additional room for a
spacious turnpike. The masonry is ashlar of
excellent quality, in contrast to the 16th-century
building, and has weathered well. The windows,
where unaltered, are narrow and are chamfered
at jamb and lintel. The parapet, which has a
slight overhang but no moulded corbel-course,
is returned round the building, except on the
gable and west wall of the wing. On the
walls there still remain traces of the original
barmkin. These are at a higher level on the
western face, where its parapet-walk com-
municated with the second floor of the tower,
than on the southern one where it simply
abutted on the wing.
The entrance is in the angle at the north-east
corner of the courtyard. The doorway has a
chamfered segmental head and is fitted for two
doors, both opening inwards into a small lobby.
On the right of the lobby is the staircase to the
upper floors and immediately in front is the
main apartment of the ground floor, above
which there is an entresol. This apartment has
been ceiled in wood, as is shown by the corbels
for the joists on the side walls, and at first the
only light seems to have come from the door,
as the small window beside the door has been
inserted later. Clearly it must have been a
storeroom. The entresol, which was also used
as a storeroom, was reached originally by a
ladder, but latterly by a service-stair descending
from the hall above it. It is ceiled with a
segmental barrel-vault and is lit from each
gable.
The hall is entered from the main staircase,
and since the 17th century it has been a lofty
chamber with a barrel-vaulted ceiling. Previ-
ously there has been an entresol below the vault.
At that time the windows were small, as can be
seen from an example which remains in the

north wall, though the seats in the embrasure
have been removed. Beside this window is a
wall press. The removal of the entresol in the
17th century allowed of a tall window with
mullion and transoms being inserted in each
gable to replace the original lights. The lower
divisions of these windows were shuttered, the
upper ones glazed. On the outside face of the
lowest transom on the west is the inscription,
I.S. M.N. 1635, for James Stewart of Rosyth
and Margaret Napier, his wife. In the south
wall is the fireplace, which was enlarged in the
17th century and has a locker in the west jamb.
A mural chamber on the same side provided
the necessary connection with the staircase.
Beside the latter, but in the thickness of the
east wall, is another chamber, from which the
service-stair, spoken of above, led to the entresol
of the ground floor. A third mural chamber,
probably a garderobe, has apparently been built
up on the north side of the east window.
Beside the west window is a doorway, now
filled in, which communicated with the first
floor of the 16th-century buildings.
The main stair formerly rose from the ground
to the top of the tower. On the way up, at
about the level of the higher of the two entresols,
there is a garderobe in the east gable, provided
with a seat and a basin with outlet. Beyond
the first floor the steps have disappeared, and
the ascent has to be continued by a ladder. On
the second floor is a solar lit from north, south
and east, the eastern window having a three-
sided rear-arch. The solar is entered through a
window embrasure, in the breast of which is a
fitted basin. At the north-west angle of the
room, near the fireplace, is a vaulted mural
chamber, which once gave access to the parapet-
walk of the original barmkin. In the north-east
angle is a garderobe. In the south wall is
another mural chamber which was entered
from the staircase, but did not communicate
with the main apartment. The ceiling of the
solar has been of timber, and the side walls bear
a heavy continuous corbel-course of a type
which has not been noticed in previous Inven-
tories, although a similar construction is found
in the Palace at Dunfermline (p. 120). Above
lay a garret, evidently a habitable room when
entire, though now roofless. The parapet-walks
have the unusual width of 7 feet.
DOVECOT. - A fine 16th-century dovecot (Fig.
53) stands on the mainland north of the castle.
It is square on plan, measuring 20 feet externally,
is built of rubble, and has gableted and crow-
stepped gables; the skew-puts are carved with
human heads. The south gable has a tabled
off-set, on the front of which is an empty panel
space. The entrance, which faces north, has a
quirked edge-roll at the arris, and on the lintel
is a label bearing an inscription now wholly
illegible. The roof is a barrel-vault covered
with flagstones.
HISTORICAL NOTE. - In 1428 the King granted
and confirmed to Sir David Stewart his barony
of Rosyth, which Stewart had resigned along
with other lands in order that the whole might
be united in one barony. ¹ Sir David is said to
have been a patron of Walter Bower, Abbot of
Inchcolm, whom he encouraged in the compila-
tion of the Scotichronicon. ² Rosyth remained
with this family till the failure of male descen-
dants towards the close of the 17th century.

278. Rosebery House, Inverkeithing. - This
house of three storeys and a garret is a much
altered dwelling of the 16th century. It seems
originally to have consisted of an oblong main
block, facing the street, with a pend that gave
access to a courtyard behind. In the 17th
century the house was partly rebuilt, while
between 1705, when it was purchased by the
Earl of Rosebery, and 1711 a wing, described
in the latter year as "the new jamm," was
added at the back. Further alterations were
made in the 18th century. The roof is unusual,
being of a lean-to type, whence the old name of the
house was the "Toofall" (sic). Both main block
and wing are vaulted on the ground floor. The
first floor of the former has a large kitchen-
fireplace at the north-west angle and a mural
chamber at the south-east angle. A ruinous
garden-house at the end of the garden bears on
the lintel of the entrance 17 J.D.B.F.17., for
John Dundas and Beatrice Ferguson, his wife.
The Earl of Rosebery, whose name is attached
to the house, disponed it to Dundas in 1711. ¹
In the courtyard is a draw-well.

279. House of the Holbournes of Menstrie,
Inverkeithing. - On the south side of the tower
of the parish church is a much-altered house
(Fig. 299), which once belonged to the Hol-
bournes of Menstrie (No. 602). The present
forestair probably occupies the place of an
earlier one, and such ancient features of the
building as can be ascertained suggest a 17th-
century date.

280. Fordell's Lodging, Inverkeithing. - This
tenement, No. 18 Church Street (Fig. 305),
stands on the west side of the street immediately
opposite the parish church and is used as the
church hall, for which purpose it has recently
been remodelled internally. It dates from the
17th century, having been built as a town house
by Sir John Henderson of Fordell ¹ (No. 182)
between 1666, when he acquired the pre-existing
property, and 1671 when the building is first
designated by its present name. ² On plan it is
L-shaped, the wing lying at the back in align-
ment with the south gable. From the north-
east angle of the main block a two-storeyed
turret, terminating in a conical slated roof,
projects on a corbel of five moulded members.
The house is three storeys in height, the upper
storey being lit by semi-dormers. It is entered
at first-floor level through the wing. The
windows of the first floor have back-set margins,
and those of the basement have chamfered
margins. A moulded plaster panel representing
the Arms of Charles II has been removed from
above a fireplace on the first floor and inserted
for preservation in the inner face of the north
wall. The masonry is of rubble, prepared for
harling; the dressings were intended to be
exposed.

281. Houses in Inverkeithing. (1) The tene-
ment at the north end of High Street on the
east side, though considerably altered, dates
from the late 17th century. The windows
have back-set and moulded margins, and
the entrance is a moulded doorway with an
entablature, being on the frieze the date 1688
and the inscription : GODS PROVIDENCE IS MY
INHERITANCE. On the keystone of the door are
the initials I.B. for Isobel Bairdie, who erected
the tenement, ¹ and above the cornice is an oval
garland enclosing an uncarved shield.
(2) The large three-storeyed tenement, Nos.
39-40 High Street, dates from the same period.
The only notable features it possesses are the
heavy chimney-stalks set in each gable and on
the internal walls.
(3) No. 54 High Street is a three-storeyed
house built of harled rubble. The windows
have back-set margins, and the lintel of the
northern window on the first floor is dated 1682.
On the lintel of an outhouse are the letters,
equally spaced, · J · V I D E M·I O·, probably
four pairs of initials.
(4) On the lintel of a garden gate at 79 High
Street are the initials W.B., I.B. and the date
1618.
(5) No. 87 High Street is rather earlier than
any of the foregoing and dates possibly from
the late 16th century. It is a house of three
storeys. The basement is entered from an
archway set at the north end, while the first
floor is entered from a forestair at the other end.
(6) No. 97 High Street is modernised, but the
forestair in front is of late 17th-century type. In
the back of the tenement are two inserted
pediments, one of which has the date 1679 and
the initials R.F., B.D. for Robert Ferguson, a
bailie, and his wife Beatrice Douglas. ²
(7) No. 4 Bank Street, which is opposite the
cross, consisted originally of a two-storeyed
oblong main block with a stair-wing at the south-
west end, these parts forming the back and one
end of a two-storeyed lean-to, to which a third
storey has been added. The entrance is at the
stair-foot through a moulded doorway with a
pediment (Fig. 304), enriched with scrolls and
thistle-shaped finials, which contain a shield,
uncarved, surmounted by a merchant's mark
and flanked by the initials I.T. and B.T.,
possibly for John Thomson, a burgess of Inver-
keithing, and his wife Bessie Thomsoun. ³ Below
the shield is the quotation : EXCEPT . THE/
LORD . BVLD (sic) . THE . HOVS . THEY / LABOVR.

preservation into the front of the house which
now occupies the site.

externally 15 1/2 feet long by 13 1/2 feet wide, stands
in the west side of Crowhill Plantation about
200 yards west of Fordell Castle. It is built of
rubble with dressed quoins, has crow-stepped
flanks finished with ball finials, a slated roof
with moulded eaves-course to the south, and
on the flanks a stepped string-course. The
entrance, which faces south, has rybats back-
set and chamfered, while above it, as also in
each side wall, there is a circular opening. The
dovecot probably dates from the late 17th or
early 18th century.

pediment a representation of the burgh arms,
dates from the 17th century. On the dexter
side of the armorial panel is St. Peter, wearing
a tiara and bearing a key in one hand and a
church in the other, which the sinister side shows
a ship with sails furled.
xxxix S.W. 12 June 1928.
285. Market Cross, Inverkeithing. - The mar-
ket cross (Fig. 306), dating from the 16th cen-
tury, stands in Townhall Street. It was moved
from the north end of the High Street to this posi-
tion in 1799. ¹ The shaft is octaganol in section
and rises from a graduated base. The capital is
moulded and is enriched with roses. On the
sides are four shields bearing arms as under
(cf. also No. 275) : (1) and (2) A lion rampant
within a tressure flory-counter-flory, the Royal
arms ; (3) A heart, on a chief three stars, for
Douglas; (4) Parted per pale : dexter, the
Royal arms ; sinister, five bars wavy, apparently
for Robert III and his queen Annabella Drum-
mond. Above the capital is a cubical sundial,
on which sits a unicorn supporting a shield
bearing a saltire. The unicorn was placed on the
cross in 1688, and the sundial is of the same time.
HISTORICAL NOTE. - The special connection
of Robert III and Annabella Drummond with
Inverkeithing (cf. No. 275), has not been
satisfactorily explained. A charter of 6 January
1399 in possession of the burgh ² provides for the
payment to that queen of an annual revenue of
100 shillings due to the Crown, but she had
revenues also from many other burghs. Their
eldest son, David, Duke of Rothesay, married
in 1400 a daughter of the third Earl of Douglas.

Two 17th-century dormer pediments are in-
serted in the schoolhouse in Church Street.
On one is St. Peter holding a key in one hand
and a church in the other, while the second
pediment bears a ship. On the front of the
adjoining property, No. 28 Church Street, is
inserted a carved panel, representing a ship, in
which is a figure of St. Peter bearing the
crossed keys.

inserted farther eastward in 1760. There are
three windows in the south wall and a tran-
somed window in the west gable. Another

dressed margins and harled panels. The lower
storey is partly derelict, but the upper floor
is still inhabited, and there the staircase emerges
in a passage giving access to a chamber at each
end and to a small intermediate room. The
walls of the three chambers have been panelled

ceiling with a guilloche enrichment round the
margin and a central roundel with a floral
enrichment.

entirely obliterated all traces of any defensive
work on the crest of this hill, which rises
abruptly from the roadway on the west, and
slopes away in a gradual descent towards the
east and to the farm of Fronthill at the south-
east. Only the steeply rising slope shows
slight evidence of having been artificially
strengthened by a rather indefinite circum-
vallation or terrace, which extends round the

spur of the hill for somewhere between two

303. Fort, Down Law. - This fort lies about
half a mile to the east of the construction on
Bowden Hill (No. 302), and about 350 yards
south of the farm of Downfield. Occupying
an elevated plateau on the crest of the highest
hill in the parish (793 feet), it commands a
view of an extensive stretch of country. The
fort, which is heater-shaped on plan, lies with
[Plan inserted]

its main axis east and west with the broad end
towards the west, the over-all dimensions
being approximately 400 by 216 feet. Approach
is not easy from any direction, but it is rather
remarkable that along the north side, where the
gradient is easiest, no artificial strengthening
can now be detected. Stockading may have
been resorted to as the sole artificial defence
on this side, but the possibility of other elements
of a protective character having been destroyed
by cultivation must not be overlooked. The
defences which survive are a combination of
rampart and ditch, confined entirely to the
lower levels at the south-west corner, but only
in parts are they clearly defined. They were
evidently so placed to provide protection for an
entrance to the main enclosure, but the exact
line of approach is uncertain, the entrance itself
having been, to some extent, obscured by a
secondary excavation which lies across its inner
extremity.
The arrangement and character of these
defences can best be followed by reference to
the plan (Fig. 302). Cutting the slopes in front
of the entrance a well-defined ditch swings
round the site in the form of a crescent. It is
best preserved at its southern extremity but
averages about 3 feet in depth. Midway in its
length a natural bastion in front of the entrance
has in turn been additionally defended at a
still lower level by a similar combination of
rampart and ditch, the latter being cut at one
place by a narrow traverse. Where ramparts
have been thrown up, they appear to have been
constructed of earth and stone, and they have a
spread of from 12 to 15 feet. A flat area,
which adjoins the fort on the south, is separated
from the adjacent cultivated lands by a
sharply rising rocky bank, which appears
to be natural.

The western one is surmounted by a graceful
belfry with an embattled top and a finial. In
this gable lies the entrance, a semi-circular
doorway, flanked by shafts with composite
capitals surmounted by globular finials. On
each side of it is a window similar to those in
the side walls. Above is a much weather-worn
cartouche on which the date of erection, 1635,
can just be deciphered. Over this, again, is a
heavy panel-mould, enriched on the upper
part with an egg-and-dart ornament, and having
carved stops at the extremities of the sides.
The enclosed panel is a later insertion. It
contains in the top corners the initials L./D.B.
L./S.B., apparently for David, Lord Balcarres,
and Sophia, Lady Balcarres - an unusual
arrangement of initial letters. A label sur-
mounting a helmet bears the motto, ASTRA
CASTRA. The shield is supported on the dexter
side by a lion, on the sinister side by a horse,
and is parted per pale : dexter, Quarterly, 1st
and 4th, a fess checky, three stars in chief ;
2nd and 3rd, a lion rampant debruised of a
ribbon ; sinister : Quarterly, 1st and 4th,
within a double tressure flory-counter-flory
three crescents ; 2nd and 3rd, on a fess three
cinquefoils. The dexter coat is for Lindsay of
Balcarres, the sinister for Seton, Earl of Dun-
fermline. David, first Lord Lindsay of Bal-
carres, married in 1612 Lady Sophia Seton,
daughter of the Earl of Dunfermline. Below
the shield is a cartouche with a cherub's head,
but any inscription it may have borne is now
illegible. Above this second panel is another
bearing a floriated design. At the top is the
motto, ASTRA CASTRA, and at the bottom the
motto, IVSTVS SEMPER VIVIT. In the centre is a
monogram of the letters D.L.B.S., for David,
Lord Balcarres, and Sophia, Lady Balcarres.
The east gable has also a finial and a two-light
Gothic window. Above the latter is a small
circular light filled with a triple vesica piscis.
Inside the building the only features of
interest are two late-Gothic aumbries set at the
eastern ends of the side walls. They are similar in
character, but the southern one (Fig. 41) has a
garland issuing from a cartouche carved on either
jamb. For a considerable time these aumbries
sheltered two contemporary carvings, which have
been removed to Balcarres House. One repre-
sents a Madonna and Child, the upper edge of the
stone being scrolled and the shroudlike drapery
arranged to produce a niche-like effect ; the
feet of the principal figure rest on a volute,
while to the left is a sheep's skull set on another
volute, and to the right what appears to be an
animal, probably intended for a lion. The
second sculpture represents an angel kneeling
on a cushion and holding a book.
At the sides of the entrance to the chapel are
two oval stones, with tenon-like projections
at the bottom, which have been removed from
one of the gates. Each bears in bold relief a
Tudor rose. Their purpose and period are
uncertain.

SECULAR BUILDINGS.
312. Balcarres House. - The mansion is
mainly modern, but incorporates the remains
of a late 16th-century house, which was ap-
parently Z-shaped on plan, having a small
newel-staircase projecting as a turret from
the north-west re-entrant angle. The ground-
floor is vaulted. The hall, which occupies the
first floor of the main block, lies north-east and
south-west and has a fine panelled plaster
ceiling of the 17th century, with the Royal
Arms in the central compartment. Some years
ago, in the course of minor alterations, a painted
ceiling, presumably of the 16th century, was
found behind the plaster ceiling.
DOWER HOUSE. - Adjoining the mansion and
to the east of it is the dower house, a plain
L-shaped building of the later 17th or early
18th century. It is now two-storeyed, but
originally rose at least one storey higher. The
wing is occupied by a handsome scale-and-
platt staircase with a solid newel, shafted at the
outer ends. The entrance door, which lies at
the stair foot, is fitted with an old 'tirling
pin.' The interior has been modernised.
SUNDIAL. - The fine 17th-century dial illus-
trated in Fig. 49, now on the south-west lawn
at Balcarres, was brought from the Leuchars
Castle (No. 401). The base and steps are
modern.
HISTORICAL NOTE. - The original house was
built in 1595 by John Lindsay, Lord Menmuir. ¹

313. Kilconquhar House.--The southern
corner of Kilconquhar House is a late 16th-
century building, but it is so hemmed in by
modern extensions that only on the west is there
a clear view of the older part from ground to
roof, The upper portion of it near the re-entrant
angle is, however, visible above the modern
buildings in a stable court. The old house
has been entirely modernised internally and it
has also been considerably altered externally,
It has five storeys. The plan is L-shaped, the
main block running north-west and south-east,
while the wing extends north-east in alignment
with the southern wall, thus leaving the re-
entrant angle open to the north. On the south
is a stair-tower of the 18th century, which must
occupy very much the same site as the original
staircase, since the original turret-stair, which
is corbelled out in the south-east re-rentrant
abgle, gives access from the fourth floor to its
roof. Towards the wall-head the three angles
of the main block expand into squat turrets
containing 'studies,' while the eastern angles
of the wing are similarly provided with smaller
turrets. The older masonry is of rubble but
that of the turrets is ashlar, and except in the
turrets the windows have all been renewed.
The upper storey of the wing is set forward on a
string-course which is in alignment with the
upper member of the wing turrets. The
chimney-stalks, the cornice, and the balustrade
of the stair towers are modern.
DOVECOT.--About 300 yards north-north-
west of the house is an oblong dovecot of the
late 17th century, which measures externally
14½ by 23½ feet. The walls are of harled rubble
with exposed rusticated quoins. The entrance
faces south ; above the string-course, which is
stepped, both flanks have exits for the birds.
HISTORICAL NOTE,--At the date of the
original building the lands of Kilconquhar
belonged to Sir John Bellenden or Ballenden,
Lord Justice-Clerk in 1547, who also acquired
the baronies of Broughton and Woodhouselee
in Midlothian. He left Kilconquhar to the
eldest son of his third marriage, who was
succeeded by his uncle Adam Bellenden,
bishop of Dunblane. On the suppression of the
bishops in 1640 Adam Bellenden sold the lands
to Sir John Carstairs.¹

314. Niche, East Newton Lodge.--An aumbry,
reputed to have been removed from Rires
Chapel (No. 317), is built into the entrance hall
of East Newton Lodge, which lies ¾ of a mile
north-west of Colinsburgh. The recess is 1 foot
10 inches broad, i foor 8 inches deep, and 2 feet
3 inches in height. A bold quick edge-roll is
wrought on jambs and head, the latter of which
springs above the lintel into an ogival shape.
The date os probably the late 16th or early 17th
century.

SITES.
315. Cist-Burials, Balcarres.--In 1870, when
the south lodge of Balcarres was being built, a
number of burials in long cists were discovered.
In 1907 several short-cist burials were exposed
on the "Craigs," a rocky eminence less than a
quarter of a mile east of Balcarres House, at a
part now known as "Coffin Walk."

measuring externally 43½ feet by 26 feet, and
has had three storeys beneath the wall-head.
The lowest storey is vaulted. The masonry
is whin rubble with freestone dressings. The
windows are unusually small, and one on the
first floor, looking southward, has a broad
chamfered margin and has been heightened.
At each of the angles there is a turret supported
on a corbel of four members. The parapet has
only a slight projection over the wall face and
is borne on small corbels, each of two members.
The tower has been considerably altered, but
full examination is at present impossible owing
to the growth of ivy, which threatens the
stability of the walls. West of the tower there
has been a small courtyard open to the north.
The western buildings are two-storeyed and
have, at the south-west angle, a circular tower,
the upper part of which is used as a dovecot.
Although the southern buildings have been
removed, the entrance remains, and its lintel is
inscribed HIC . . . PONS ESTO I.C M.L 1682, which
presumably records the date of the extension.
The first pair of initials are for James Crawford,
for whom see HISTORICAL NOTE. The entrance
to the castle has been from the north, where
part of a transe, dated 1683, is incorporated in
the farm buildings.
HISTORICAL NOTE.--George Balfour was in
"Munquhane" in 1459.¹ In 1493 these
Balfour lands were erected into a free barony
in favour of Michael Balfour.² A charter of
1547/8 specifies "the tower, fortalice, and
manor-house." The Balfours continued till
the beginning of the 17th century, but in 1668
James Lumsden of Mountquhanny was retured
heir in these lands to his father General-Major
Robert Lumsden of Mountquhanny.³ Towards
the close of the century the lands came into
possession of James Crawford.4

323. Dovecot, Starr.-- A 17th-century dove-
cot, recently re-roofed, stands in a park south-
west of the buildings at the farm of Starr. It is
oblong on plan, measuring 20½ feet by 15¼ feet
externally, and is built of rubble originally
harled. The flanks are crow-stepped and there
is one string-course. The entrance faces south
and there have been small windows in the side
walls above the string-course, but these are now
built up. The nests are of stone.

MISCELLANEOUS
324. Stone Circles in Drumnod Wood.--
These constructions, although designated
"Stone Circles" on the O.S. map, are more
accurately described as circular enclosures with
defining ridges of stone. They closely resemble
in size, setting, and other characteristics the
enigmatical enclosures that have been noted
near Clune Craig in Ballingry parish (No. 56).
The Drumnod examples are situated on the
crest of a high knoll about 300 yards south of
Hazelton smithy and at an elevation of 500
feet above sea-level. The form a group of
three, and the outline of the one on the south
remains clearly marked by a wall founda-
tion. having an average width of 4½ feet and
rising slightly above the immediate surroun-
ings. The other two enclosures, which impinge
on the north and east sides of the better defined
example, are considerably broken up and can

only be indistinctly traced at intervals by
remains of similar wall foundations and the
configuration of the internal dip. An excava-
tion of the first of the three has been attempted.
This investigation, it is believed, was carried out
by the late Dr. Laing of Newburgh, but it is
understood that the results were negative. No
clear traces of entrance gaps are discernible
in any of the enclosures, which vary from an
oval to a circular form with an average diameter
of 40 feet.

This stone is hidden in a heavy growth of whin
bushes in a covert lying at an elevation of 400
feet above sea-level, about three quarters of a
mile to the north-east of Lochmaloney House.
It is a somewhat hog-backed boulder, measuring
roughly 7 1/4 feet by 4 feet 11 inches by 3 feet high,
and the upper surface shows a scattered group
of cup-marks, which vary from 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches
in diameter and 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch in depth. The
stone lies with its main axis north-west and

Mountquhanie House, between the 200 and 250
feet contours, but a heap of stones, collected
from the fields and used as a base for a hay-
stack, is lying quite close to the position noted,
and may have been mistaken for something
more ancient, There is now no knowledge in

ECCLESIASTICAL BUILDING.
327. Tower, Parish Church. - The parish
church, an oblong building dating from 1808,
abuts at its north-west angle on a bell-tower,
the only remnant of the former church, which
extended farther west than the present structure.
The tower has always been a north-west tower,
like that of St. Michael's Church, Cupar, which
was erected in 1415, and the two probably
belong to about the same time.
It is built of coursed rubble and measures
externally 19 3/4 by 14 1/2 feet. While the north
window at ground-floor level is an insertion, the
lancet doublets in each wall of the bell chamber
are original. The parapet, borne on separate
moulded corbels of two members, dates from the
16th century, and the slated spire is probably,
but not certainly, contemporary. The tower
has opened on to the nave by an archway which,
though built up, can still be traced, and on to
the north aisle by a second archway, apparently
later and also filled in. The capitals of these
archways are boldly moulded. The lower storey
has at one time been vaulted. A turnpike,
ascending to the parapet, has been inserted in
the north-west angle. The roof-raggle on the
outer face of the south wall does not appear to
be original.
SEPULCHRAL MONUMENTS. - The Beaton
burial-enclosure at the east end of the church
dates from the later 17th century. The front,
which faces east, is enriched with Ionic shafts
at the ends and on either side of the entrance.
In the back wall is placed an armorial panel,
now very weather-worn, enclosed by a bolection-
moulded surround. The helm has for crest an
otter's head erased. The supporters are otters.
The shield bears : Quarterly, 1st and 4th, a
fess between three lozenges ; 2nd and 3rd, on a
chevron an otter's head erased. A label below
the shield bears the motto, DE[B]ONN[AIRE]. A
cartouche beneath bears initials, two of which
may be read as M.B., while the others are
totally illegible.
At the vestry door lies a tombstone, measuring
5 feet 6 inches by 2 feet 4 inches, which is dated
1592, and bears on a shield-shaped panel the
initials T.S. and A.S. Near the forestair on the
north of the church is the table-stone of Robert
Ford who died in 1672. It measures 6 feet 2
inches by 3 feet 3 inches, and has on the upper
part representations of a ship, an astrolabe, and
a quarterstaff.
NOTE. - The church tower was used as a
landmark by fishermen, who called it "St.
Irnie." ¹ It has been suggested that the name is

a corruption of that of St. Irenaeus, Bishop of
Lyons. Others would connect it with Ringan
(i.e. St. Ninian) or with St. Ethernan. Possibly
there is no saint's name in question at all. The
word may be merely the old Gaelic form
irnaidhe (Mod. Gaelic ùrnuigh) "a prayer,"
formerly also used in the sense of "oratory."²

SECULAR BUILDINGS.
328. Innergellie. - The present mansion was
built in 1740 and the stables in 1746. Above
the entrance, however, is inserted an armorial
panel, doubtless from an earlier house. It is
dated 1650 and initialled S.I.L., for Sir James
Lumsden, and D.C.R., for Dame Christian
Rutherford, his wife. The helm is mantled and
wreathed ; the crest is a right hand holding a
sword. On a label above the shield is the
motto : VIRTVTE ORTA OCCIDVNT RARIVS. The
shield is parted per pale : dexter, on a chevron
three mullets between a wolf's head couped and
a buckle in chief, and an escallop in base, for
Lumsden of Innergellie ; sinister, three martlets
or swallows between a star in chief and an orle
in base, for Rutherford. On the lawn is a
fragment of a 17th-century sundial, and on the
terrace are fragments of carvings representing
animals.
DOVECOT. - The dovecot is rectangular,
measuring 13 1/2 by 28 feet and dating from the
late 17th century. The masonry is rubble,
harled. The flanks are stepped, and there is one
string-course in the wall.
HISTORICAL NOTE. - In 1642 Colonel Sir
James Lumsden of Invergellie had a charter
de novo of the various portions of the Invergellie
lands, including the tenandry which had formerly
belonged to his father, the late James Lumsden
of Airdrie, and the part "with the mansion"
which had formerly belonged to David Archibald
of Blackhall, &c. &c.¹ In 1650 he is "General-
Major James Lumsdane of Invergellie, knight,
then (1643) designed Colonel Sir James Lums-
dane."² Dame Christian Rutherford had been
infeft in 1653 in an annuity from Invergellie.³

angular with stepped flanks and measures
externally 25 1/2 by 14 1/4 feet. It probably dates
from the 17th century but has been considerably
renewed a century later. On the back wall,
above the string-course, there is a circular gun-
loop, about 6 inches in diameter. The west
skew-put seems to bear a fragmentary date
[16]25, and that on the east the letters D.I.

331. Skeith Stone. - Standing in a field about
600 yards south-west of Rennyhill Farm, and
about 700 yards north of the public highway
from Anstruther to Crail, is a roughly rect-
angular boulder of sandstone known as the
Skeith Stone. It is set with its main axis
north-north-west and south-south-east and
has on the east face a double-ringed wheel
design in incised scultpture, 3/4 inch in depth,
the wheel having eight petal-shaped spokes,
averaging 13 inches in length and 3 inches
in greatest breadth. The boulder is 3 feet
8 inches in height, 3 feet 4 inches in width,
and averages 1 foot in thickness. It in-
clines with a very decided slope towards the
north-north-west, and has been wedged up
behind with a piece of sandstone, to prevent it
from falling backwards. The west face is badly
weathered. Investigations carried out in the
neighbourhood of the stone in 1868 satisfied the
excavators that it did not mark a burial site.¹
It is not noted as an antiquity on the O.S. map.

332. Standing Stone, West Pitcorthie.--This
stone stands in a cultivated field about midway
between the farms of East and West Pitcorthie,
and at an elevation of about 200 feet above sea-
level. It is a roughly rectangular boulder of red
sandstone, set with its main axis due north and
south and having a marked inclination towards
the south. There is nothing to suggest that it
has been packed at the base. It is badly
weathered on the north and south sides, while
the east face shows a series of cup-like hollows,
probably also weatherings. It stands 7 feet
1 inch in height, measures 3 feet 8 inches across
at the base and 4 feet 1 inch at the top and
gradually diminishes in thickness from 1 foot
4 inches at the base to slightly over 1 foot at the
top. The girth is 9 feet 9 inches at the base,

initials S.E.D., probably for Sir E. Douglas, a
younger son of Douglas of Kirkness, who
married the Forrester heiress and so acquired
the property. The monogram is flanked by the
date 1699.
The basement floor has been a single vaulted
chamber, but has latterly been divided into
three parts, while the vault above the central
division has been removed. The western
division shows traces of two original windows -
mere slits, while in the eastern gable there seems
to have been a kitchen fireplace. On each of
the upper floors - save the third which has been
thrown into a single chamber - are two rooms,
both modernised, the only features of interest
left being a moulded fireplace of stone and a
wooden moulded mantelshelf, both of which
date from the end of the 17th century.

southern side of the tower is a draw-well.
DOVECOT. - An oblong late 17th-century dove-
cot, built of rubble, stands 100 yards north-east
of the tower. It measures 20 1/4 by 14 feet

387. Leslie House. - The original "palace" ¹
of Leslie, which was built round a quadrangle
immediately east of the town of Leslie, was
destroyed by fire in 1763, but the western wing
was reconstructed in 1767 by John, Earl of
Rothes, ² to form the present mansion. So far
as the walls are concerned, the earlier work can
be traced only on the east side, where it extends
for a distance of 63 feet up to a height of two
storeys. On the north, however, partly incor-
porated in the present building and partly
extending eastward beyond it, is a vaulted
ground floor of store-houses and kitchens,
which survived the fire; above lay a long gallery,
which measured 157 by 23 feet. On the south
a rock garden has been contrived from sundry
fragments of the old south wing.
ARMORIAL PANEL, LESLIE HOUSE, ENTRANCE
LODGE. - Into the modern lodge standing at the
east end of the High Street is inserted a 17th-
century armorial panel bearing the arms of the
Earl of Rothes impaled with a Lindsay coat.
John, seventh Earl of Rothes (1641-1681),
married Anne daughter of John, Earl of Craw-
ford and Lindsay.

house of the 17th century, measuring 32 1/2 feet
by 54 feet externally. The east gable, which is
the only one that remains, indicates that there
were at least three storeys in the height; the
lowest was probably vaulted. The masonry has
been of boulder rubble with dressed quoins.
HISTORICAL NOTE. - There were Pitcairns of
that ilk as early at least as the 15th century.
In 1426 the King granted to Henry de Pitcairn
the lands of the same which his father had
resigned; ¹ and in 1495 a deed involving Henry
Pitcairn of that ilk was completed "at the

STANDING STONE.
390. Standing Stone near Strathendry. -
About 100 yards west of the lodge of Strathen-
dry House, on the south side of the roadway
from Leslie to Scotlandwell, a large irregularly
shaped block of sandstone, 5 feet in height at
its highest point, has been utilised to form part
of the dike. It stands with its main axis almost
due east and west, and has a slight inclination
towards the north. It tapers from the base
upwards to a rounded and somewhat pointed
top, its broad flat face to the north measuring
5 feet 7 inches across at 2 feet from the ground.
There are no sculpturings. The girth at the base
is approximately 16 1/2 feet and at 3 feet from the
ground 11 feet 9 inches. The Statistical Account ¹
speaks of four large stones, but the others have
been removed. A stone coffin and urn, says the
same Account, were found beside one of these
stones in 1760.

MISCELLANEOUS.
391. Gallant Knowe, near Strathendry Castle,
Bleachfield. - This site is now under cultivation,
and no remains can be traced. The Statistical
Account ¹ records that the "round hillock,
called the Gallant Know - being supposed to
consist only of gravel," was made use of to
repair the roads, and that there were discovered
"in the centre a piece of pavement, surrounded
with large stones, containing some bones, and
two spear-heads of copper, the one like the head
of an officer's spontoon, and the other, in the
upper part, like a mason's chisel." The
standing stone No. 390 is between four and five
hundred yards to the north-east.

392. Cross, near Ingri. - The farm of Ingri is
reputed to be the site of a chapel, but no vestiges
of the building now remain. A cross is recorded
in the New Statistical Account ¹ as having for-
merly stood immediately below the old farm
steading, and the site is marked on the O.S.
map. The cross itself has disappeared, but a
base, socketed for the reception of a shaft or
pillar, is still to be seen built into the dike on
the north side of the public road, about 600
yards south-east of the farmhouse. It is a
roughly dressed rectangular block of sandstone,
2 feet 7 inches in height and tapering somewhat
from the base upwards, with a socketed recess
on the top measuring 11 1/2 inches long by 10 1/2
broad by 3 3/4 deep. Its north and south faces
measure 2 feet 6 inches across, and its east and
west faces 2 feet 3 inches. The stone is known
to have been removed from the farm, and is, in
all probability, the base of the missing cross.

393. Leslie Church. (1) ROTHES VAULT. - The
church is modern, but detached from it on the
north is the Rothes burial-vault, a featureless
17th-century oblong structure built of rubble.
The gables are crow-stepped, and the steps on
the south have been renewed. In the north
gable a door and window can be traced, though
built up.
(2) ARMORIAL PEDIMENT. - A triangular pedi-
ment is built into the west boundary wall of the
churchyard. Flanked by a flat-iron and shears,
and surmounting the initials and date I.B.
1636 M.L., is a scrolled cartouche parted per
pale: dexter, a chevron between three fleurs-
de-lis, for Broun of Fordell; sinister, a fess
checky and three mullets in chief, for Lindsay.
(3) SUNDIAL. - A plain 17th - or early 18th -
century tabular dial has been built as rubble
into the north-east angle of the church.

394. Inscribed Lintels, Leslie. - The small two-
storyed 17th-century house at No. 14 High
Street has a lintel on an upper window dated
and initialled 1675 T.B. I.B., the initials being
separated by a heart. Flanking the inscription
are a spade and what seems to be a faggot. A
house on the north side of the village green has
a door lintel inscribed, I.Z. I.H. 1688, and a
window lintel inscribed, - - A.G.A.R. 40, as well
as a plain tabular sundial.

SITES.
552. "Lecture Stane." - This stone is said to
have stood on the margin of the public road
about a quarter of a mile east from the church,
in a stone dike opposite Nivingstone House,
but it cannot now be identified. It was used,
it seems, before the Reformation at funerals,
as a support for the coffin at the time that the
burial service was read. Cf. New Stat. Acct., ix,

553. Urn Burial, Easter Gellybank. - On 10th
November 1885, a large cinerary urn was
turned up by the plough on the farm of Easter
Gellybank, a little more than a mile to the
south of the town of Kinross. The urn, which
is now preserved in the National Museum of
Antiquities, measures 16 1/4 inches in height by
12 3/8 inches in diameter. The discovery has been
fully described in Proc. Soc. Ant. Scot., xx

laird's house of the early 17th century, built on
the ' palace ' plan. It has been modernised
internally, for it is still occupied, and a wing has
lately been added on the northern side. The
lay-out is interesting, and the system of com-
munication has been carefully considered. The
original house consisted of an oblong main
block lying east and west, the eastern part

having three storeys and the western having
four, with a wing projecting on the southern
side. The wing contains the main staircase,
above which are two chambers, entered from
a turret-staircase corbelled out within the
eastern re-entrant angle. At the back of the
house - that is, to the north - a newel-stair
projects within a turret and serves all floors.
The elevations are simply treated but have a
certain dignity. The masonry is of rubble and is
harled, but two turrets corbelled out at the
southern angles of the stair-wing and a bartizan
corbelled out above the front door, between the
south-east turret and the adjoining stair-turret,
are of ashlar. The entrance is in the east wall
of the wing. The door-piece is moulded and is
surmounted by a large panel in excellent
preservation, which has a delicately moulded
border enriched with cherubs' heads. The panel
contains a shield parted per pale: within a
bordure; dexter, a chevron charged with a
crescent, between three cinquefoils, for Halli-
day*; sinister, three crescents, for Oliphant.
Enclosing the shield are the initials M./I.H. and
H.O., for Master John Halliday and Helen
Oliphant, his wife. ² On the dexter side of the
shield is the inscription: THE LORD IS / ONLIE
MY DEFENCE / 2 APRIL 1608; and, on the
sinister side: PEACE BE / WITHIN THY WALLES
AND / PROSPERITIE / WITHIN THY HOUS /.
The bartizan, with its machicolation, covering
the entrance, is unexpected at this date. It is
borne on two massive corbels. The slab forming
the floor or platform is perforated for the
machicolation, the upper surface having a little
kerb round it, probably for a wooden cover.
The surface water from the bartizan has been
carried along a stone gutter to a spout wrought
on the south-east turret. In the western re-
entrant angles are little circular shot-holes, and
on the southern wall of the wing is a stone
bearing a sunk circular panel, cable-moulded.
The original windows were only half-glazed.
The majority of them have been enlarged. A
dormer on the main block beside the southern
stair-turret has a pointed pediment, delicately
moulded and enriched with scrolls, initialled
M.I.H. and H.O., and dated 1608.
The entrance to the house opens at the foot
of the main staircase. At ground-floor level the

main block contains three apartments, none of
them vaulted. The eastern chamber is the
kitchen, and the original fireplace arch is still
traceable in the gable. The mid-chamber has
probably been a store-room, and it seems
originally to have been entered from a lobby
opening at the foot of the main staircase, but
this has been closed and now forms a large
cupboard,* while a new entrance to the mid-
chamber has been formed from the kitchen. At
the north-west angle the mid-chamber com-
municates with the north or newel-stair, at the
north-east angle a straight service-stair within
the thickness of the wall rises to the upper floor.
The western chamber of the basement can be
entered only from the mid-chamber. It was a
living-room and contains a fireplace. On the
first floor also there were originally three
chambers, but the two eastern ones now form
a single apartment, modernised as the dining-
room. It is lit from each of the three outer
walls. The partition wall at the western end
contains the fireplace, and to the south of
this a mural chamber, while to the north is a
mural lobby, which leads to the north stair.
The western chamber has been modernised
and is now the drawing-room. The upper rooms
are bedrooms and these also have been modern-
ised.
DOVECOT. - A rectangular dovecot, measuring
18 feet 8 inches by 16 1/2 feet, stands about 100
yards to the north-east of the house. It is
built of harled rubble, but the nests are of wood.
The roof is ruinous. Above the entrance,
which faces south, is a panel bearing the date
1751.
HISTORICAL NOTE. - John Halliday (" Haly-
day"), advocate, bought the lands of Tullibole
("Tullieboyle") in 1598. ¹ He was dead before
1607, but in 1605 he had granted these lands
to his eldest son John, also an advocate, and
his future wife, Helen Oliphant. ² The erection
of the house followed in 1608, the date beside
their initials on the heraldic panel and the
pediment. This John, afterwards knighted,
was dead by 1620, in which year his son William
was served heir to Tullibole. ³

8 feet 2 inches within walls 2 feet 3 inches
thick.
THE TOWER. - The tower (Fig. 506) stands on
an outcrop of rock at the highest point of the site.
Oblong on plan, it measures 42 1/2 feet by 30 1/4 feet
over walls 7 1/2 feet thick, and rises to a height of
59 1/4 feet. Three of its four storeys are vaulted,
the uppermost of the vaults being of a later
time than those below. The masonry consists
of an outer and inner casing of squared ashlar,
built in courses 10 to 11 inches in height, with a
core of whinstone rubble. The chamfer is the
only moulding employed on the dressings of the
voids. The roof is flat, but it cannot be quite
certain that it had this form before the insertion
of the top vault. The low parapet is on the
same vertical plane as the walls and is borne on
separate corbels, some of which have originally
been destined for use elsewhere. At the angles
of the building are open 'rounds' supported
on continuous corbelling which runs below the
course of separate corbels. Gargoyles once
projected from the face of each 'round,' and
there appear to have been three others on the
west parapet, but to-day only the one on the
north-western 'round' survives in a fairly
complete state. It is open to question whether
the parapet, corbel-course, and 'rounds' are
original features
There are two entrances to the tower. The
first is in the west wall. It was originally on
ground-floor level, but its threshold was
lowered some 3 1/2 feet in the process of cutting
away the rock in order to provide an even sur-
face for the erection of the courtyard buildings.
The second is in the south wall at first-floor
level. It was originally reached by a forestair,
either of wood or of stone, which was removed
about the end of the 16th or the beginning of the
17th century when its place was taken by a
new turnpike.
The ground-floor entrance, which has a semi-
circular head, has been fitted with two doors,
the outer opening outwards, the inner inwards.
It admits to a mural lobby, on the left of which
a small service-stair rises to the Hall above,
while in front is a doorway with a pointed arch,
leading into a single chamber, walled in squared
ashlar and ceiled with a barrel-vault. In the
south wall of this room there have been two
narrow loopholes, of which only the one on the
west remains, the other having been converted
into a door, giving access from the foot of the
new turnpike.
The first floor is occupied by the Hall, which
is also vaulted. The entrance at the south-east
was partly rebuilt when the new turnpike was
formed. In the thickness of the wall on the
east side of it lies a prison with a 'pit' below,
the latter reached by means of a hatch and
provided with a flue for ventilation. The Hall
fireplace, with plain jambs and arched head
surmounted by a chamfered cornice, is set in
the east wall, and beside it but, high up, is a
small window. There is a similar window in the
opposite wall. The chamber, however, was
mainly lit from a window looking south, the
daylight of which was enlarged in the later
16th century. In the north wall are the remains
of a buffet with an ogival head, the head and
the jambs being wrought with a quirked edge-
roll. At the north-western corner is the entrance
to the straight service-stair which rises from
the ground floor, while at the south-western
corner is a turnpike, which was the original
access from the hall to the upper floors and
roof. This second stair went out of use and its
steps were removed when the turnpike of
c. 1600 was constructed, the latter giving direct
access to all floors both of the tower and of the
addition of which it formed part.
The second ceiling is not vaulted, and the joists
of the ceiling are carried on moulded corbels,
which are unusually deep though they project
but slightly. The present entrance is from the
new turnpike, and has been cut through the
end of a small lobby in the south wall which
previously led to a garderobe built in the south-
east corner. The opening into the garderobe
was now blocked and a new one formed in the
east wall. The original entrance, which is set
in the west wall and which is checked for double
doors, communicated with the old turnpike
through a mural lobby. Here, and on the floor
above, the stair encroaches slightly on the area
of the room. The fireplace is in the north wall.
The jambs have a quirked edge-roll with fillet
and are original, but the segmental head, bearing
a bead and quirk, is a later addition. The east
side contains a locker checked for a door.
There are two windows. The one on the west
is small and has a raking rear-arch. The other,
facing south, is large, its daylight having been
widened and heightened in the late 16th century;
[Page] 323 |

its rear-arch is semi-circular, and originally
there were seats on each side of the embrasure.
A 'dog-legged' garderobe, containing a seat
with its vent and a slop sink or urinal, lies
beside the fireplace in the thickness of the north
and east walls.
On the third floor an entrance has been broken
from the new turnpike through the thin wall of
a mural chamber. This tiny chamber is ceiled
with a pointed barrel-vault and has a small
window, which now opens into the staircase.
The main chamber, which occupies the full
extent of the third floor, is ceiled with an
elaborate barrel-vault with surface-ribs of
three members (Fig. 503). On the under surface
of the vault are carved two grotesque masks of
Renaissance type, with mouths open, probably
for the suspension of lamp-chains. Corre-
sponding as they do to those occurring in some
of the courtyard buildings, these details show
that the vault was inserted in the late 16th or
early 17th century. The chamber has been well-
lighted from three sides. Originally there was
a window on the south. This was built up
when the vault was constructed, and to replace
it a new window was cut through the north wall.
An original window, provided with a seat,
remains in the east wall and what was once a
similar window in the west wall has been en-
larged in the 16th century. The jambs of the
fireplace, which is in the east wall, have moulded
capitals, but the pier supporting the lintel is
modern. A 'dog-legged' garderobe occupies
the north-eastern angle, and in the south-
western angle is the old turnpike.
ENCLOSURE. - The enclosure is entered from
the north. On this side the outer wall is just
high enough to receive the roofs of the one-
storeyed lean-to buildings which stood against
it within the courtyard. The entrance, dating
from the later 16th century, or the begin-
ning of the century following, has an external
projection and is protected by a 'gun-hole' on
each side. The gateway has a semi-circular
head, jambs and head being wrought with a
bold, quirked edge-roll, and an unusually large
bar-hole. It opens into a transe, covered with a
segmental vault of ashlar and provided on the
east side with a bench and a locker. On the
west side is the original doorway into the lean-to
which fills the south-western angle of the en-
closure. There was a lean-to on the east side
of the entrance also, but this has been de-
molished and replaced by a modern structure.
The wall continues low for some distance along
the west side of the enclosure, but it rises at the
southern end where it becomes the gable of the
south range. On the south and on the east
the walls of the enclosure are at the same time
the back walls of buildings containing several
storeys, and they are therefore high. That on
the south has been surmounted by a parapet-
walk and has had a 'round' at either end.
The walk has been continued across the east
gable of the south range and probably ran the
whole length of the east wall, but the alterations
have been so considerable as to leave no trace
of its presence. The masonry of the enclosure-
walls is of rubble. That on the north has a
chamfered base-course, while that on the south
has two chamfered offsets not far from ground-
level. The upper of these offsets return round
the head of the transe which gave access to the
garden.
The south range, which is now ruinous,
occupied the full width of the enclosure and
has been three storeys and a garret in height.
Moreover, the ground here falls away both to
the west and to the south, and some excavation
has been necessary on the courtyard side of the
range, to secure a level foundation. The
excavated area has been roofed in, forming a
corridor outside the two lower floors. This
terminates at each end in a turnpike rising
approximately from the level of the courtyard,
which, however, at the east is midway between
the ground-floor and the first-floor of the
building. Above the entrance to the western
stair is a 'saving' lintel, bearing three shields,
but any charges these may have displayed are
now entirely obliterated. The upper part of the
stair-tower takes an octagonal form; on the
side towards the courtyard it contains a space
for an armorial panel. From such detail as
remains, this western stair may be dated to the
late 16th or early 17th century, and the arrange-
ment and masonry of the block which it serves
would suit that time, although the lower part of
the outer wall is perhaps rather earlier.
On the ground-floor of the south range (Fig.
509) are five vaulted cellars - the vaulting of
which, however, may not be original - and the
vaulted transe, which was built to give access to
the garden but is now closed up at the courtyard

end. The cellars have benches on the side walls,
and each has a narrow window looking south,
heavily splayed outside and inside. Above the
rear-lintel of the westmost window a rebated
lintel, brought from elsewhere, has been inserted.
On the first floor there have been four handsome
chambers, lit entirely from the south. The
windows are large and roughly built, and may
therefore belong to a later reconstruction.
Three of them extend to the floor, evidently to
give a view down the glen, the others being
too high to be suitable for this purpose. The
two eastern chambers are provided with garde-
robes, which have obviously been broken out
in older walling. The upper floors are frag-
mentary.
The east range (Fig. 511), which is three storeys
and an attic in height, is fairly complete and is
still inhabited. While the lower part of the outer
east wall is perhaps contemporary with the
outer wall of the south range, the building
against it has been so altered that it may be
considered as wholly of the late 16th or early
17th century. Between the eastern turnpike of
the south range and the tower it presents a
handsome façade of ashlar, each storey of which
is defined with a moulded string-course, while
the windows have a projecting roll-moulding,
which is uncommon. At the north end is a
spacious staircase, referred to above as the
"new turnpike" and designed to give con-
tinuous communication between the floors of
the tower and to link these up with the floors
of the east range itself. In front of the range
and connecting the turnpikes, both of which
open into it, lies a loggia or open-sided arcade
(Fig. 510) with segmental arches resting on a
central pier. Its responds have clustered shafts,
alternately keel-shaped and with a fillet, simply
moulded capitals, and bell-shaped bases. Shafts
of this description are usually in 16th-century
ecclesiastical work and are occasionally met
with on the jambs of late 16th-century Hall
fireplaces. The loggia on the east, it will be
noted corresponds to the outside corridor on
the south. Such external corridors are not
common in Scotland, since they prevent through-
lighting, but at Falkland Palace (No. 238) there
is a similar arrangement, dating from between
1537 and 1541.
The ground floor of the east range is entered,
through the loggia, from the well of the later
turnpike. The accommodation here consists
of two intercommunicating cellars, each with a
ribbed barrel-vault, built (as the details show)
at the same time as the top vault of the tower.
Opening off each is a tiny chamber, probably
a close garderobe, projecting outwards from the
main east wall. The upper floors have been
modernised.
DRAW-WELL. - At the north-western angle of
the courtyard is a draw-well, and close at hand,
in the wall of enclosure, is a water inlet.
HISTORICAL NOTE. - Castle Campbell, with
the kirklands of Dollar, was originally held by
the Earl of Argyll in feu-farm from the Bishopric
of Dunkeld. ¹ Before 1490 the castle was called
"the Gloume," but in that year Colin, first
Earl of Argyll, secured an Act of Parliament
changing the name to Castle Campbell. ² In
1645 the Marquis of Montrose, on his way from
Fife to Stirling, burnt "the land of Castell
Gloum, otherways called Castell Campbell." ³
Bishop Guthry records the burning of the parish
of "Dollor" on this occasion by "Maclean and
his people" in the service of Montrose, the
parish "belonging to the marquis of Argyle." ⁴
It is usually said that at this time Castle
Campbell was burnt, but in neither of these
contemporary sources is there a statement to
that effect.

hog-backed monument (Fig. 29), probably
of about 12th-century date. It shows three
rows of a scalloped scale-ornament on each
of its sloping sides and has a plain dividing
ridge, 4 inches wide, along the top. It is
6 1/4 feet in length, while the two extremities
are 18 by 15 inches and 16 by 11 inches,
respectively. The monument is slightly arched
in the middle.
(3) Another stone is dated 1522. Below the
date are the initials I.M. and I.D. in large letters,
and at the foot is a broad spade. The slab
measures 6 feet 2 inches long by 2 feet 2 inches
wide and is 7 inches thick.
(4) Another recumbent slab of the coped
type has been considerably re-chiselled. It
measures 6 1/4 feet in length and is inscribed on
the top with the initials H.D. and I.P. These
initials are probably no part of the original
monument. On one of the sloping sides - that
to the north - there is a broad-bladed sword
with pointed pommel and straight quillons
beneath what has apparently been a three-
stepped cross, while on the sloping face to the
south are two similar crosses, of which only the
bases and shafts are now visible. These two
crosses have been set base to base, so that the
shafts extend in opposite directions towards
the two ends of the stone. A cavity, 12 inches
in length, 10 in width, and 8 inches deep, is cut
on the upper face of the stone, at its west end.

617. Cist Cover, Tillicoultry House. - This
stone formed the cover of a cist discovered
in the sand quarry which now occupies the site
of the stone circle referred to in No. 618. It
was removed many years ago to its present
position at the edge of a footpath near Tilli-
coultry House. At that time the surface
showed distinct traces of a number of sculp-
turings, including rings and spirals, but these
designs have become so much weather-worn
that they cannot now be discerned. The stone,
which is of grey diorite, measures 7 feet 2 inches
in length by 4 feet 4 inches in width and about
2 feet in greatest thickness. A food-vessel, a
cinerary urn, and a number of white pebbles
were recovered from the grave of which the
slab formed the cover, and which was "exactly
where the centre of the circle must have been."
The joints of the cist had been "carefully
packed with clay." Other urns of cinerary
type have, from time to time, been discovered
on the same site, one of them "alongside of
where one of the standing stones seems to
have been." Cf. Proc. Soc. Ant. Scot., xxix
(1894-5), pp. 190-3.

618. Enclosure and Ditch, Castle Craig. -
The Castle Craig, a rocky bluff of the Ochil
Hills, rises abruptly to an elevation of 500
feet above sea-level on the right bank of a
burn at the foot of the Mill Glen near Tillicoultry
On all sides, except at the north-west, it
provides a situation of great natural strength.
The Statistical Account (1795), vol. xv,
p. 214, states : "On the Castle Craig, the
foundations of a round circular building are
still visible." A note to the passage reads:
"Between these and the hills, there has been
a ditch by way of defence. The vulgar tradi-
tion is , that the Peychts had a strong fortifica-
tion in this place."
Unfortunately the constructions have been
much destroyed and their precise character can-
not now be settled. Local information is to the
effect that some parts of a detached building,
which formerly stood at the south-eastern edge
of the cliff overlooking the burn, have been re-
moved in recent years by quarrying operations.
This information offers a possible explanation
of the denuded remains that survive at a some-
what higher level. These consist of the lower
courses of a strongly built semi-circular wall,
which nowhere reaches a height of more than
4 feet above inside level and is flush with the
natural ground-level on the outside. The wall
is 12 feet thick at the central segment but
becomes thinner towards the extremities. These
at some later time have been linked together by
a modern dike to form a D-shaped enclosure,
which has its major axis north-north-east and
south-south-west and measures roughly 95 feet
by 65 feet. Within are traces of dividing
walls and other later constructions. About

20 feet to the north-west of this strong wall is
the ditch referred to in the Statistical Account.
It is well defined, and in places has a depth
and width of over 10 feet. Part of it has been
cut through rock. The ditch is closely over-
looked by higher ground, except towards the
north, where a short stretch has its outer margin
defined by an artificially constructed bank. No
clear indications of an entrance passage could
be observed, but the line of approach was
probably from the west.

SITES
619. "Druidical Temple," Cunninghar. - This
site is an elevated ridge of sand and gravel about
half a mile east of the village of Tillicoultry,
on the north side of the public road to Dollar.
A stone circle, measuring about 60 feet in
diameter, once stood here but was completely
removed many years ago, when the stones,
which are said to have been about 5 1/2 feet in
average height, were taken to cover a built
drain at Tillicoultry House. The site is now
used as a sand and gravel quarry. Cf. Proc.
Soc. Ant. Scot., xxix (1894-5), p. 190.
cxxxiv S.W. 26 July 1927.
620. Cist Burial, Harvieston. - A cist was
discovered at Harvieston about the year 1804,
when the western approach to the house was
being made. It contained a finely decorated
food-vessel 4 1/2 inches in height, by 5 inches in
diameter at the mouth, narrowing to 3 inches
at the bottom. With it was a small oval flint
knife, 1 1/2 inches in length by 1 inch in breadth,
formed of a flake, with the whitish chalk surface
still covering one side, the other showing the
bulb of percussion, and the edges worked sharp
all round from the inner side of the flake only.
Cf. Proc. Soc. Ant. Scot., xxix (1894-5), p. 107.
