[Situation] About ½ mile NW [North West] of the Village of Auchtertool.
Camilla (Anciently Hallyard) is near the Road leading from Auchtertool to Lochgelly, a little to the W [West] of the road. The Ruin is apparently the body of a large house or Castle the outer walls alone Standing and these in a tottering stage of decay with numerous gaps and wind cracks. It was once the property of a family called Skene & came by Purchase into the hand of the Morays or Earls of Moray, one of whom having married a lady of the name of Campbell changed its name to Camilla. James the fifth stopped a night in Camilla returning from a Border fight where he was defeated. It is on the Estate of the Earl of Moray. |

Note: Camilla - formerly "Hallyards".
Note: Camilla - "The Ancient name was Hallyards, when it
belonged to the family of the Skenes. It
is said to have been the rendezvous of the
Fife lairds at the rebellion in the year 1715,
when James Vth of Scotland was on his road to the palace of
Falkland, after the defeat of his army on the English
Border, under the command of Oliver Sinclair, his favourite.
He lodged all night in the house of Hallyards, as he passed,
where he was courtiously received by the lady of Grange.
It seems then to have belonged to the Kirkcaldies of Grange
a family of considerable note in the History of Scotland. It is now a ruin."

A remarkable feature in the Newton Braes 15 Chains of Newton Lynn, composed of a peculiar mass of rocks which have the appearance of having been piled up artificially, Although there is no doubt but they assumed their appearance from natural Causes. There are several legends existing respecting the origin of the name, one of which is that a deserter of the name of Melville or Meldrum as punishment for his Offence, was forced to leap from the top of the precipice at this place. Another & more probable one is that a person named Melville leaped his horse over the precipice at the Spot where the rocks are Situated while hunting.

A portion of lofty uncultivated ground beginning at the Stewarts Arms, rising as it recedes in a N.

Separated from the Cullalo Hills on the South by a rushy bottom for some extent which terminating, the bases of both hills seem to commingle but presently disunite, the Cullalo diverging to the E. [East] a short way where they end or become lost in the sober eminences clothed with Plantation at a point South of the place where begin the "Newton Braes" the Pilkham Hills extending N.E.

It is worthy of remark that these Hills in the Map of the Parish of Aberdour are called "Newton Hills". The hills are a continuation of the Cullalo range. |

These braes extend from the old road (now a track) which runs South towards Drumpuddock Wood from the Road leading from Auchtertool to Stewarts Arms near the Pilkham Toll bar, to the New Farm at a point where they are no longer shaded on Trace. These braes present a most striking view from the South or viewed from their base presenting perpendicular sides covered with Furze and Slopes that forbid ascent: they are evidently a continuation of either the Pilkham or Cullelo hills, but these losing that altitude necessary for a hill or dwindling down to petty eminence about, the neighbourhood of the Road leading N. [North] from the Road before mentioned towards Craigton farm receive no appellation beyond the Eastern line of Pilkham Hills except the "Newton Braes". |

[Situation] Trace 5. Passing the W. [West] side Craigton farm house.
Until about 30 years ago this was the only direct road from Burntisland to Perth. Since the Great North Road was made it has been disused & is now nearly obliterated in some places, but there is still a right of way along its whole length which the late Lord Balmuto used sometimes to assert by driving along it. |
