This house is obviously of great antiquity and has at one time been a place of considerable strength, surrounded by marshy ground which defended its approach. The grounds are now well drained and richly ornamented with old timber. Fernie appears to have been part of the original estate of the Earls of Fife and the vulgar tradition is, though there is no authority for the supposition, that it was one of Macduff's Castles."

[Quotation] "Ancient House of Parbroath. Of this house or castle which belonged to the family of Seton nothing now remains to mark the site save part of an arch surrounded by a few old trees which has been carefully by desire of the late Earl of Hopetoun. It stands near to the place where the road between the Forth and Tay ferries crosses the road from Cupar to Newburgh. The house is said to have been surrounded by a moat over which there was a drwabridge and the park in which they were situated is still called the Castlefield. There is a tradition that one of the late farm buildings at Parbroath which was long used as a barn had at one time been a chapel and that it and at the Church of Creich divine service was performed on alternate Sabbaths. In confirmation of a Chapel being here it may be stated that a few years ago when the foundation of a wall was dug up close by the site of the old barn some graves were discovered which probably formed part of the burial ground connected with the chapel."

Cairnie Castle, commonly called Earl Beardies Castle on account of it being [built] by Alexander 3rd Earl of [Cairnie] who wore a long curly beard black as Jet. It was built in the reign of James II [2nd] of Scotland. [All] that remains of it at the present time is the keep a dungeon, and one of the round turrets of the rampart which surrounded the castle. It was surrounded by a [morass] that formed a strong defence, it was drained and cultivated about 50 years ago. It has every appearance of being at some period a place of great strength. |

[Quotation Page 1 of 3] "In the Craufurd family there were many individuals who were distinguished for their talents their bravery and for the high situations which they occupied in the government of the country Alexander the third Earl of Craufurd who lived in the reign of James II [2nd] was a man of singular character and from the fierceness and cruelty of his temper and his undaunted courage he was surnamed the "Tiger", and from his long black bushy beard he received the appellation of Earl Beardie. Though a great part of his property and his principal residence were in Angus it is generally understood that he resided occasionally in Fife. He is said to have built the Castle of Lordscairnie in the parish of Moonzie and this account is confirmed by its being called Earl Beardies Castle to this day. It is a large and lofty building being fifty four feet in length and forty in breadth over walls and four stories high. The walls are nearly 4 feet thick are composed of every kind of stones and bound together by the strongest cement. The ground floor it is likely was occupied with kitchen and cellars and the second with the great baronial hall. It is now in a very delapidated state. The outward walls or shell of the castle still remains but the roof and floors are entirely gone and even the [ rilats] of the windows and the corner stones of the building have disappeared. The tenants of the estate who were formerly in the habit of making a quarry to obtain stones for building houses or dikes are now very properly prohibited by the leases from making any further encroachments upon it. There was formerly a wall of considerable height and thickness round the castle called the "Rampart Wall" including several acres of ground and having towers on it at some distance from each [continued] |

other. A part of this wall on the north existed till within these few years and one of the towers still remains. From the construction of this tower it had evidently been a place of defence and is supposed to have been near the gate which formed the principal entrance to the castle. Within the memory of some individuals in the Parish there was another tower to the north of the castle which contained an oven and had been devoted to culinary purposes. The Castle is situated on a gently rising ground and in ancient times before Lordscairnie Myre was drained, in the midst of which it is placed must have been surrounded with water and nearly inaccessible" etc See New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of Fifeshire page 789.
[Quotation]
"There are only two objects possessing any antiquarian interest in the parish Cairnie castle commonly called Lords Cairnie, an ancient seat of the earls of Crawford and an old house Colluthie the remains of the residence of the Ramsays of Colluthie. The castle of Cairnie is said to have been built by Alexander third earl of Crawford commonly called Earl Beardy from his great beard or the Tiger Earl from the fierceness of his disposition. The probability is that the tradition is correct, as the property of Moonzie, Lords Cairnie and Myreside then generally denominated Auchtermoonzie came to the Crawford family by the marriage of Alexander second Earl with Mariotta Dunbar daughter and heiress of David Dunbar of Cockburn son of George earl of March, who was proprietor of Auchtermoonzie. Sibbald errs, p. 410, in saying hat the Lords Cairnie came to the Crawfords..[Continued]

.. in James IV.'s time by marriage of Dunbar, heiress of Moonzie and the cause of this error obviously is, that John fifth earl of Crawford, who was killed at Flodden with James IV. [4th] was married to Mariotta daughter of the second lord Home who was descended from the great family of Dunbars earls of March. All that remains of this ancient stronghold of the once powerful family of the Crawfords is the keep or donjon and a round tower which had formed a defence for the wall with which the court yard was surrounded. In all probability a considerable portion of ground had been surrounded with a wall, defended by several such towers, but the whole has now disappeared with the buildings which they enclosed, with the exception of the principal keep or stronghold. This ruin is four stories high, and appears to have lost nothing of its original height, with the exception of the bartizans which surrounded its roof. It is 53 feet in length, and 42 in breadth without the walls. The walls are strongly built, and between five and six feet thick. The ground floor as is common in such structures appears to have been entirely occupied by cellars, having arched stone roofs. The second floor was occupied entirely with the great hall which is about 40 feet in length, and above 20 feet in breadth. The defence of the castle and its outworks was anciently strengthened by a broad morass which appears to have entirely surrounded the slight rising ground on which they were situated."

This was once the mansion house of Carslogie. It is very large and without the least attempt at ornament, and although nearly 700 years old, it has quite a modern appearance. The walls are all that remain unaltered, and these are 6 feet thick at the base but decrease from the first storey to 3 feet thick at the top. Only 4 flats remain, other 2 having been taken off; and a ditch which surrounded the house has been filled up. The soil of the garden is so rich as to have produced fruit equal in value to the rent of house and garden. The present proprietor is Lord Swan, who lets it separately from the farm steading of the same name. The house is unoccupied it being intended to convert it into dwellings for the farm servants of Carslogie. |

[Quotation..Carslogie Castle.. Continued]
Carslogie was at one time very extensive and its lords were men of great power in the district. So late as the time when Dr Campbell wrote, the remains of a stately ash tree called the Jug tree to which criminals were fastened as a punishment was still to be seen and the iron jugs with which the erring vassals of the proud barons of Carslogie were fastened, remained in the tree till 1793 when they fell down. The ancient tree itself was blown down some years ago. Tradition says, that in ancient times when private feuds and quarrels were common among the Scottish barons, the lords of Carslogie were leagued with the proprietors of Scotstarvet, whose residence, Scotstarvet tower, is situated on a lower ridge or shoulder of Tarvet hill, about two miles to the south. The tower of Carslogie being situated in a hollow might have been approached by an enemy without his being observed until very near but the more commanding situation of Scotstarvet enabling the warden on the battlements of the tower, to see an enemy at a greater distance he on occasions of danger instantly sounded his horn which was replied to by the warden from the towers of Carslogie, and the vassals were immediately in arms for the defence of the castle. This tradition is very probably true in its leading facts, but it is erroneous in some particulars. Sir John Scot of Scotstarvet, who purchased the estate and built the present [tower] as appears from the arms and inscription upon it, lived in the seventeenth century when such leagues were neither so necessary nor so likely to take place. It must therefore have been during the period when upper Tarvet belonged to the family of Inglis... that [continued] |

has been rendered famous by Sir Walter Scott, and is still, we believe, in the possession of the widow of the late Major-General William Maclaine Douglas Clephane the last direct male heir of the Clephanes of Carslogie, or in that of the marquis of Southampton, who married their only daughter. Besides the horn, the family of Clephane had long been in possession of a hand made of steel in imitation of that of a man, which has also been brought into [notice] by Sir Walter Scott. The tradition is that this steel hand was a present from one of the kings of Scotland to a baron of Carslogie who had lost his hand in battle in defence of his country. It does not seem, however, to be an agreed point what king this was, or which of the long line of Barons of Carslogie received the royal gift. It has been said that the hand was lost at Bannockburn and that the gift was made by Robert Bruce but others say that it was at a much more recent period and that it was presented to the great grandfather of the late General Clephane. The hand is still preserved either in the possession of the Generals widow or of his son in law." etc. See Leighton's Hist. [History] of Fife Vol. 2 [Volume 2] pp 36
