In the north side of this house are to be seen the remains of the stocks, which the proprietor had the power over. There is a vague tradition in the locality that the Culdees had a hospice here -- if they had no vestige of it now remains, even its site cannot be ascertained -- proprietor Marquis of Northampton. |

Ordnance Survey - Fife and Kinross counties
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the counties of Fife in the east of Scotland and Kinross in central Scotland. The boundaries of these counties were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
