On the Summit of a Small but Commanding rocky eminence naturally fortified and known by the name Dummiefarline, are partly visible the remains of work which the given Authorities Stated was and Out-post or Watch Tower in Connection with the Camp on Dumglow when the Romans Occupied that Camp. The authorities are Old men especially Messrs. Arnot and Reddie who herded on the Hill in their youth when their attention was drawn to examine the remains And the latter observed several large Sand Stones which he says were evidently brought hither as there is no Such description of Stone in the locality. These men got their information of it having been a Roman Watch Tower from their forefathers. |

A fine looking Old Stronghold in the Castellated style of the Elizabethan Age, at least the uppermost part on which is the date 1600 probably intended to show the time when Lord Colville of Culross notable for his zeal towards the Reformation became owner of the Castle and Lands of Cleish. There is no distinct record to point out the date of the under part of the Castle, which from its peculiar Arched Structure is evidently of greater age than the date 1600. In the Old Register of Dunfermline Commencing in the 11th Century may be found the Name of Archibald Meldrum of Clesse and in 1469 Squire Meldrum of the same ilk was Sheriff Depute of the Shires of Fife and Kinross. And in the time of James V another Squire Meldrum of Cleish and [continued on page 38] |

Description of Cleish Castle Continued |

[continued from page 37] Binn probably a son of the last one mentioned celebrated by Sir David Lindsay of the Mount in his Poems. From the Meldrums the estate and Castle passed into the hands of the noble family of Colville of Culross, who from the date given on the uppermost part of the Castle added two Stories besides an Attic reaching to nearly Seventy feet in height Commanding an extensive view of Kinrosshire Perth and Fifeshires. On the South Side of the Castle are Terraces which until lately were more extensive. Along these are remarkably fine Old Yew Trees evidently bearing testimony to the great antiquity of the building which they Ornament. In 1775 the Castle and Estate became the property of a Mr. Graham who sold it in 1795 to the [Uncle] of the present proprietor Mr. Young. A few years ago it was made habitable again at a considerable expense and is at present the residence or the Owner Henry Young Esquire. |

A piece of Moorland lying at the North West Corner of Dowhill Muir and bounded by the Nivingston Road. It was formerly a Common but now it forms part of Blairadam estate.

As the appearance of the building does not Correspond with the above date I have made Strict enquiry and I find that they have been brought hither from Dowhill Castle, by order of the late Sir Charles Adam of Blairadam. |

All that remains of this once splendid Castle is the first story nearly entire and a detached Watch Tower, the upper Stories and Walls around the Castle having been taken away for building purposes. The castle and property of Dowhill once belonged to the Knight Templars and after the supression of that order, it fell into the Lindsay family of Balcarras, who altered and made Some additions to the Castle, and in all probability Caused their Arms and the date to be inserted in it, these the late Sir Charles Adam Subsequently removed to a cottage (formerly a Dove Cot) near his residence.
This description is written from verbal information given by the Rev. [Reverend] Mr. Ross Minister of the Parish |
