[Quotation] "In the upper part of the burgh (Auchtermuchty) there is an old house in which it is popularly believed the great Macduff Maormor of Fife resided but the house though ancient has obviously been built at a period of some hundreds of years after the death of that great warrior. It in all probability belonged to the family and may have been inhabited by some of his ancestors.* Leighton's Hist: [History] of Fife Vol. [Volume] 2. p. 224

[Note] * The word "ancestors" in this quotation is evidently a mistake the writers, as appears by the foregoing part of the quotation mean posterity.
