[situation] In the Eastern portion of the Parish of Falkland
This village is irregularly built, the several feuars erecting their houses according to their convenience. The greater part is feued from Mr Trotter of Ballenden, some of the feus being as low as one penny Scots, and some as high as 2/6 sterling, yearly. The houses generally belong to the occupiers, and fo the most part are two storeys high. The inhabitants are chiefly occupied in weaving, looms being set up in every house. There is neither Church nor school in the village, owing to its vicinity to Falkland, where there are both. There are no shops of any consequence; and only one public house. There are two breweries, one bakery and one distillery, which give employment to a number of men.
South West of the village is a piece of ground called The Common, cut full of holes in which the villagers use to steep their lint, this common was much more extensive, but a former proprietor of the neighbouring estate of Lathrisk, bought the greater part of it. Although the proper name is the one given, that by which it is known by is "the Newton" |

This house is a large and plain building of three storeys in height. It is a very old building having been the residence of the Lindsays of Kirkforthar for many generations. It has however to a great extent been modernised, and the moat which surrounded it, filled up. Only a small portion of the original structure remains, and the walls of it are six feet thick. Within the house are a great many antiquities and paintings. Among the latter are portraits of Cardinal Beaton, one of Queen Mary's Maries, and James VI. Eastward of the house is the garden, in which was a sun dial, which the present proprietor removed to the front of the house. It has on it the arms of the Pitcairns and the Lindsays with the date 1641. South of the house are the remains of an old Chapel. The present proprietor of Kirkforthar estate is George Johnstone Lindsay Esquire. |

[Quotation]
"The only other residence in the parish which deserves particular mention on account of its antiquity is Kirkforthar the seat of George Johnstone Lindsay Esqr a Cadet of the noble and ancient family of Crawfurd. Kirkforthar formed part of the Lord Lindsay's ancient estate of Struthers and became a separate branch in the following manner . David Lord Lindsay of Byres espoused the Cause of King James III in opposition to the views of his son James IV, who was stirred up by the confederated nobles to become their leader in a foul an unnatural rebellion. Lord Lindsay commanded the father's adherents. The two hostile armies having met at Sauchieburn, a battle took place which issued in the defeat of the unfortunate James III. Immediately after Lord Lindsay was arraigned for high treason. Although he was an excellent soldier and had great experience in the service of foreign states yet he was but little gifted with Court phraseology or versed in judicial procedure." etc. See Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of Fife 1845. 1845 page 668. |
