ELEVENTH REPORT
OF THE
ROYAL COMMISSION ON THE ANCIENT AND
HISTORICAL MONUMENTS OF SCOTLAND

TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.

MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MAJESTY, -

We, Your Majesty's Commissioners, appointed to make an Inventory of the
Ancient and Historical Monuments and Constructions connected with or illustrative
of the contemporary culture, civilisation, and conditions of life of the people in
Scotland from the earliest times to the year 1707, and to specify those which seem
most worthy of preservation, humbly present to Your Majesty this our Eleventh
Report. The Inventory deals with the monuments and constructions in the counties
of Fife, Kinross, and Clackmannan, and appended to the Report is a list of those
which, in the opinion of Your Commissioners, seem most worthy of preservation.
The list is divided into two groups: (a) those which appear to be specially in need of
protection, and (b) those worthy of preservation but not in imminent risk of demoli-
tion or decay.
We tender to Your Majesty our respectful thanks for the gracious message
which accompanied Your Majesty's acceptance of the volume embodying our
previous Report with Inventory of Monuments in Midlothian and West Lothian.

lands and historic buildings in the area under review. They would also express
