Dear Sir,
I have your
favor. St Heriots lane & St Heriots
well are ancient names. We
have also St John's well. Inverkeithing
[is ill] supplied with water & during
the summer months we have some
times none. Before wells were
covered in & pumps used we may
suppose in ancient times it
was still scarcer. The devout
people therefore named their wells
after saints in the hope that .... |

There is no extant tradition as to the saint & the well that I know of. It is near the Church, the tower of which is believed to be over 800 years old. Some [say] St. Heriot was an Inverkeithing Saint & others think she or he for whether male or female is not positively known here is..... |

A very old Royal Borough perhaps the oldest in Scotland it received its 1st Charter from William the Lion about the year 1170. This Town has many great privileges which it can no longer boast of, having lost them or thrown them away, and is now dwindled into insignificance. It being a small Seaport, adjoining a Mineral district, commands a little export trade in Coals, the coals shipped here are principally from Halbeath colliery, and are said to be excellent for Steam purposes - The Town is by no means in a thriving state, scarcely a modern house to be seen, the houses where the Earl of Morton, Earl of Rosebery & Claverhouse once resided, are still used as dwellings, likewise a small portion of the Grey Friars Monastery - The population are generally Mechanics, as Smiths, Masons &c. and numbers about 1850 Souls - There are 2. Churches Several Schools, Townhall, library, Bank &c. The Borough has its own Magistrates viz Provost & 1st & 2nd Bailies. also 9 Councillors. Letters delivered & forwarded 3 times a day. |

[Captain] Henderson is absent, but Mr. Fowles, the gardener (a very intelligent man) says the building was formerly the residence of the Proprietors before the present Modern Mansion was built, that it was erected in the 14th Century, was afterwards burned down and rebuilt - It is at present undergoing repair to make it fit for a residence. There is no tradition known of it. from its situation and construction it does not appear to have been built for defensive purposes, but merely as a dwelling. |

[situation] About 3/4 Mile N.E. [North East] of Hillend.
A rough Standing Stone about 5 1/2 feet high, with numerous unintelligible marks cut on it. Mr. Fraser and Mr. Fowles are authorities for the following tradition concerning it. At the time of the Wars between Scotland and England (They Cannot say at what period of these Wars) A battle was fought in which the Scotch were on the point of being defeated, when a Bishop travelling with his retinue came up to the Scene of Action, called the Scots Cowards, rallied and led them to another attack, defeated the English, killed their General and on the Spot where he fell this stone was erected.
The following extract from a Note in P. [page] 31 of Sibbald's Fife may refer to this Battle. "During the absence of Robert the 1st in Ireland where he had gone to support the pretensions of his brother Edward to the Crown of that.." continued |

58 [No Header] [Remarks for Standing Stone - Continued.]
" Country. A party of English sent to invade Scotland by Sea anchored off Inverkeithing in this County. The Earl of Fife and the Sherriff of the County having 500 Men under their command, attempted to oppose the landing but intimidated by the number of the English they made a precipitate retreat. William Sinclair, Bishop of Dunkeld happened to meet the fugitives. "Whither are you flying" said he to the Commanders. "You deserve to have your gilt spurs hacked off" then throwing aside his Ecclesiastical Vestment he seized a spear and cried "Who loves Scotland follow me" he led the Scots again to the charge and impetuously attacked the enemy, who had not completed their landing. The English gave way and were driven to their ships with considerable loss."
I have made inquiry about the site of this battle but it cannot be pointed out M. Kinsela C.A. [Civil Assistant] |
