This is the mansion of the estate of Rumgally, it is a very old house and is supposed to have been a resting place for several of the Scottish Kings, when travelling between St. Andrews and Falkland Palace.
Above what was formerly an entrance are the arms armorial of a former proprietor. The only date is 1650. Several alterations have been made upon the house, showing the original walls to be about 3 feet thick. The field adjoining the house is all that remains of the parks, the remainder being used for farm purposes. Behind the house close by the river side is the farm steading, a very large and commodious structure. Both farm steading and Mansion house are occupied by the proprietor Alexander Thoms Esq.
