[Quotation]
"The Priory of Pittenweem was founded for Canons-regular who were first introduced into Scotland about the year 1114. It belonged to the Priory of St. Andrews and had considerable landed property the isle of May belonged to it besides the Churches of Anstruther Wester, Rhind and others. John Rowle Prior of Pittenweem was one of the Lords of Session. His name first appears in the Sederunt book 5th November 1544. In March 1542 he had been of one of the lords for discussing of domes and in March 1544 he appears as one of the Lords of the Articles. In 1550 he accompanied the Regent Murray to France and died in 1553. In 1583 William Stewart a Captain in King's guard descended from Alan Stewart of Darnley, obtained a charter of the priory and lands of Pittenweem and was afterwards styled commendator of the same. In 1806 [See Transcribers Note] the lands and baronies belonging to the priory were erected into a temporal lordship in favour of Frederick Stewart his son who had farther charters in 1609 and 1618. He died as is supposed without issue and the title has never since been claimed. Previous to his death he disponed the lordship to Thomas Earl of Kellie who with consent of his son Alexander Lord Fenton surrendered the superiority of the same into the hands of the King. A considerable portion of the buildings of the Priory is still standing and inhabitted. The Priors house is now the property, and the residence of the Right Revd. [Reverend] David Low L.L.D [Doctor of Laws] Bishop of the Scottish Episcopal United Diocese of Ross and Argyle. The walls of the precincts are still entire and with the other buildings serve to indicate the original extent of the Priory and its domains.

[Quotation]
"Two miles by east St. Monan is the royal burgh of Pittenweem so named from a cave there it is well built. The upper part of the town is a fair street from west to east at the east of it is a church of this parish of a late erection. To the North of which is Mary-Chapel in the Mary-Gate that goeth to the East port and by south the church is the priorie (to which this town belonged) inclosed with a good wall it hath a good deal of building yet entire. It was a colony and dependence of the priorie of St. Andrews and possessed by regular priests of the order of St. Augustine. In the reign of King Alexander III [The Third] William bishop of St. Andrews bought the priory of May from the abbot of Reading (to which abbacy it was given by King David I [The First]) annexed it to this priory of Pittenweem. It had the churches of Rind and Anstruther Wester in which parish Pittenweem was till of late and many lands with a regality of which the lands of Anstruther are heritable baylies. The precinct of the house and fews belong to the Earl of Kellie whose eldest son is intituled Lord Pittenweem" etc.
"The noted St. Fillan whose name has been given to so many chapels fountains, etc, in Scotland and who is still held in superstitious reverence in great part of the Highlands [Was Abbot] of Pittenweem from which situation he retired and died a hermit in the wilds of Glenurchy A.D. 649. While engaged in transcribing the scriptures his left hand was observed to send forth such a splendour as to afford ligth to that with which he wrote, a miracle which saved many candles to the convent as St. Fillan used to spend whole nights in that exercise. Lesly lib. 7 [Book 7] tells us that Robert the Bruce was possessed of this miraculous and luminous arm which he inclosed in a silver shrine and had it carried at the head of his army previous to the battle of Bannockburn the Kings chaplain a man of little faith abstracted the relique and deposited it in some...

"place of security least it should fall into the hands of the English. But Lo! while Robert was addressing his prayers to the empty casket it was observed to open and shut suddenly and on inspection the saint was found to have himself deposited his arm in the shrine as an assurance of victory. Such is the tale of Lesly. But the Bruce little needed that the arm of St. Fillan should assist his own. " Minstrelcy of the Border Vol. II [Two] - The belief of the power of St. Fillan in the cure of Lunacy is far from being eradicated in the northern part of the Kingdom and the magical operations by which his aid is supposed to be procured are still performed at his chapel and pool in Strathfillan in Breadalbane"

A natural Cavern on the East side of Cove Wynd extending to the distance of About 30 or 40 yards, at the extremity of which is a Small well of fresh water, which is apparently formed by the dropping of the water from the top of the Cave, And Can only Contain about an imperial Gallon. About midways betwixt the Mouth of the Cave And its extremity is a passage leading to the left And seemingly artificial, which is said to extend as far as the Priory.
" A little below the priory in the direction of the Sea beach is a large cave with two apartments in one of which is a well of excellent water. Where the two apartments join there is a Stone Stair which led up to a Subterranean passage that Communicated with the priory by another Stair. The two Stairs Still are to be Seen but the passage which must have been about fifty yards in length has been obliterated by the falling down of the Superincumbent earth." Stat. Acct.

[situation] West side of the Harbour.
This Church is situated at the Easter extremity of the Burgh. It is a small and plain edifice, with tower and steeple surmounted by a fish. In the steeple are a clock and bell. On the South side of the Church is a stone with the following inscription "Anno 1598, My.house.is.the. hous.of.prayer."
The number of sittings in the Church is 235 - the number of Communicants 100, and the attendance generally good. The present Minister is the Revd. [Reverend] Hugh Scott - adjoining the Church is the Church Yard. In which are a great many slab tomb stones bearing dates of 17th Century.
[Quotation]
"The Church is very conveniently situated for the greater part of the population being built in the burgh where the bulk of the people reside. It may be nearly two miles from the north west corner of the parish but there is no inhabited house so remote as that. There does not appear to be any record as to the period when it was built but from the style of its architecture it must have existed a considerable time previous to the reformation. It was roofed in 1761 and has been frequently repaired at considerable expense by the heritors. At present it is in tolerable order. From its situation almost on the sea shore and on the bank of the Dreel it is liable to be damp and cold in winter a stove however has just been erected in it which will add much to its comfort. The number of seats is fully beyond that required by law and they afford accommodation for all the parishioners who are able to attend public worship. " Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of C. [County] Fife 1845 page 625
[Quotation]
"The parish church appears to be a very ancient building from the remains of a large choir and the Gothic structure of the Steeple. It was new roofed in the year 1751" Old Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] vol. [Volume] 3 page 81 |
