14 Plan 37C Kinghorn Parish[Quotation] "In the old orchard of Abden, there were not long ago removed the remains of a building, which tradition declared belonged to the King, and the road to which from the shore or landing place was called the Kings Gate. This is countenanced by the fact that the property of Abden belonged to the Crown; and in the ancient charter of this property granted by Cardinal Beaton to Sir John Melville there is a distinct reservation that the King, in crossing to Kinghorn, should enjoy free lodgings, and the hospitality of Abden at any time he should require it."
