[Quotation] Collairnie Castle
"The castle of Collairnie so long the residence of this family is now in ruins, but sufficient still remains, to show its ancient extent and grandeur. It appears to have formed a large square enclosing an ample court-yard, with lofty square towers at the four corners. One of the towers, and portions of the old walls are all that is now left. The court-yard forms the farm-yard of Henry Walker the tenant of the land, and a part of the old buildings still remaining is occupied as a barn. Above the entrance from the court-yard to the tower are the initials " D. B." and " M. W.," and the date " 1581." It seems highly probable, however, that the date of the erection of the building is much older, as the door-way over which this date is placed has every appearance of having been altered from what it originally was ; and it was a very
common practice for proprietors of castles when making alterations to put up their own initials and the date of the alterations. The roofs of two rooms which occupy the second and third flats of the tower are worthy of notice, from their being divided into compartments on which are emblazoned the arms of the family, and of the various families with which they were connected. The colouring has been bright and vivid ; but is now greatly faded, and fast becoming indistinct. With some trouble, however, we were still able to make out what the majority of the families were whose arms were thus displayed. Besides the arms, there were several inscriptions on both roofs which however, with the exception of a few words, are almost entirely effaced." Leighton's history of Fife, Vol, II [Volume 2] p. 93. |

[situation] Upwards of 2 1/8 miles E by N [East by North] of the Mansion house of Inchrye Abbey.
This Castle was of considerable importance in the 14th and 15th Centuries and according to Sibbald and other historians belonged to the family of Barclay, the only portion remaining is the North east corner which now is used as a barn. Leighton in his history of Fife gives the following account of it " The Castle of Collairney so long the residence of the Barclay family is now in ruins but still sufficient remains, to shew its ancient extent and grandeur, it appears to have formed a large square enclosing a large court yard with lofty square towers at the four Corners", in the present portion of the ruins are the arms of the several families who from time to time inhabited it. over the door are the initials D.B. M.W. with date 1581, with the exception of the North East corner where this tower stands its court yards etc. has given place to the present office houses. |
