Still standing

What's left of Seafield Tower in the brief sunset tonight.

Built of local red sandstone in the 16th century, Seafield Tower lies between Kinghorn and Kirkcaldy. The lands of Seafield and Markinch were granted to Robert Multrare by James II of Scotland in 1443. The lands and the tower remained in the ownership of the Multrare (or Moultrie as the family name became) until 1631 when the lands were sold to James Law the then Archbishop of Glasgow. With Law's death in 1632 ownership eventually passed into the hands of the Methven family. Its last owner was Methven of Raith who abandoned it in 1733.

It's remains abandoned.
