macduff castle east wemyss fife scotland
It is thought that a castle may have been built here by the MacDuff Mormaers, or Earls, of Fife in the 11th century, at the time of King Macbeth of Scotland (d. 1057). The Wemyss family, descendents of the MacDuffs, owned the property from the 14th century, and built the earliest part of the present castle. Edward I of England paid a visit here in 1304, staying with Sir Michael Wemyss. However, Wemyss later joined forces with Robert the Bruce, and Edward ordered the castle to be destroyed.[citation needed]
After the Wemyss family moved to nearby Wemyss Castle, it passed to the Livingstones, and then in 1530 it was taken over by the Colvilles who built a second tower to the south-west, and enclosed a courtyard with a gatehouse. In 1637 the castle was bought by Sir John Wemyss of West Wemyss, from Lord Colville of Culross, and in 1651 the lands of East and West Wemyss were united as a single barony.[1]

Old Photographs East Wemyss Fife Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of East Wemyss a village situated on the south coast of the Kingdom of Fife. This Scottish village was traditionally one of several coal mining communities along the south coast of Fife. The pit was its main employer for many years until it was closed in 1967 due to a fire which resulted in the deaths of nine men. East Wemyss is also home to the ruins of MacDuff's Castle, home to the MacDuff Earls of Fife, the most powerful family in Fife during the Middle Ages. Wemyss and District Tramways operated a tramway service between Leven and Kirkcaldy between 1906 and 1932. The Wemyss Tramway Order of 1905 authorised the construction of this tramway. It was financed by the Wemyss Coal Company, owned by Randolph Wemyss. The mainline of the tramway joined Leven, Methil, Buckhaven, East Wemyss, West Wemyss, Coaltown of Wemyss, Dysart and Kirkcaldy.
Hi everyone quick live from Macduff castle????????????♀️สวัสดีค่า
Hi everyone thank you very much for watching and comment i really appreciated everyone of you, thank you for your time spent here, here is some more information about the castle thank you for reading..
The home of the Wemyss family who lived at MacDuff�s Castle
from the 14th to the 16th century.. After Wemyss joined forces with Robert the Bruce, Edward I of England ordered the castled to be destroyed.
It is thought that a castle may have been built here by the MacDuff Mormaers, or Earls, of Fife in the 11th century, at the time of King Macbeth of Scotland (d. 1057). The Wemyss family, descendants of the MacDuffs, owned the property from the 14th century, and built the earliest part of the present castle. Edward I of England paid a visit here in 1304, staying with Sir Michael Wemyss. However, Wemyss later joined forces with Robert the Bruce, and Edward ordered the castle to be destroyed.
After the Wemyss family moved to nearby Wemyss Castle, it passed to the Livingstones, and then in 1530 it was taken over by the Colvilles who built a second tower to the south-west, and enclosed a courtyard with a gatehouse. In 1637 the castle was bought by Sir John Wemyss of West Wemyss, from Lord Colville of Culross, and in 1651 the lands of East and West Wemyss were united as a single barony.In 1680 castle was abandoned fall into ruined.
Its present ruinous state is not just due to the fact that it has been unoccupied for several hundred years. The sandstone used in its construction has weathered very badly and resulted in pitted exterior stonework.
The castle, which is now owned by Historic Scotland, is supposedly haunted by a Grey Lady, said to be a Mary Sibbald who was found guilty of theft and died in the castle.
บ้านของตระกูลเวมิสที่อาศัยอยู่ที่ปราสาทแม็คดัฟฟ์ตั้งแต่ศตวรรษที่ 14 ถึงศตวรรษที่ 16 หลังจากที่เวมดิซเข้าร่วมกองกำลังกับโรเบิร์ตบรูซเอ็ดเวิร์ดฉันแห่งอังกฤษสั่งให้ปราสาทถูกทำลาย
มันคิดว่าปราสาทอาจถูกสร้างขึ้นที่นี่โดย MacDuff Mormaers หรือ Earls ของ Fife ในศตวรรษที่ 11 ในเวลาที่ King Macbeth แห่งสกอตแลนด์ (d. 1057) ตระกูล Wemyss ซึ่งเป็นทายาทของ MacDuffs เป็นเจ้าของทรัพย์สินจากศตวรรษที่ 14 และสร้างส่วนแรกสุดของปราสาทปัจจุบัน Edward I แห่งอังกฤษเข้าเยี่ยมชมที่นี่ในปี 1304 อยู่กับ Sir Michael Wemyss อย่างไรก็ตามเวมิสได้เข้าร่วมกองกำลังกับโรเบิร์ตบรูซและเอ็ดเวิร์ดสั่งให้ปราสาทถูกทำลาย
หลังจากครอบครัว Wemyss ย้ายไปที่ปราสาท Wemyss ใกล้เคียงมันก็ผ่านไปยัง Livingstones และในปี 1530 ก็ถูกครอบครองโดย Colvilles ผู้สร้างหอคอยที่สองไปทางทิศตะวันตกเฉียงใต้และล้อมรอบลานบ้านที่มีประตูเมือง ในปี 1637 ปราสาทแห่งนี้ถูกซื้อโดย Sir John Wemyss of West Wemyss จาก Lord Colville of Culross และในปี 1651 ดินแดนแห่งทิศตะวันออกและตะวันตก Wemyss ได้รวมกันเป็นหนึ่งเดียวกับบาโรนี่ปราสาทแห่งนี้ถูกทิ้งร้างลงไปในซากปรักหักพัง
สถานะของความหายนะในปัจจุบันไม่เพียง แต่เกิดจากความว่างเปล่ามาเป็นเวลาหลายร้อยปี หินทรายที่ใช้ในการก่อสร้างนั้นมีสภาพอากาศเลวร้ายมากและส่งผลให้เป็นหินภายนอกอาคาร
ปราสาทซึ่งปัจจุบันเป็นเจ้าของโดยประวัติศาสตร์สกอตแลนด์ก็มีผีสิงที่เรียกว่า Lady Lady กล่าวกันว่าเป็น Mary Sibbald ที่ถูกตัดสินว่ามีความผิดฐานลักขโมยและเสียชีวิตในปราสาท

Years After Archaeologists Started Digging In Scotland, They Found This Forgotten Dark Age Kingdom
Years After Archaeologists Started Digging In Scotland, They Found This Forgotten Dark Age Kingdom
On a barren hill in the wilds of Scotland, a team of archaeologists is hard at work. They’ve been digging for four years, hoping to discover the meaning behind a series of mysterious carvings. And as they learn more about the site, they realize that an age-old legend may be about to be uncovered.
Compared to other, more well-documented eras of British history, relatively little is known about the period that came between the collapse of the Roman Empire and the Renaissance. With few records, artifacts or artworks to study, historians unsurprisingly refer to it as the Dark Ages.
And consequently, in the absence of verifiable history, many myths and legends have sprung up to fill the gaps. The most famous of these is that of King Arthur, the legendary king who was said to have united Britain against Saxon invaders.

Fife heritage railway
Fife Heritage Railway is a heritage railway run by the Kingdom of Fife Railway Preservation Society which aims to showcase the heritage of the railways of Fife, based at on Kirkland Sidings, Methil, Scotland.
The Society was formed in 1992 after the closure of the Lochty Private Railway due to falling guest numbers and increased public liability premiums. Following the closure of the line, in May of the same year, the Kingdom of Fife Railway Preservation Society was formed to take over the former Lochty fleet. In 1994, the last of the fleet was moved from Lochty and moved to the now defunct Methil Power Station until the society could find a permanent home for its collection.
Various locations around Fife were looked at which included the former Crail Aerodrome, Lochore Meadows, Bowhill Colliery, part of the former Auctertool branch line, the former Wemyss Private Railway site at Scott's Road and even the former Kilconquhar railway station, all of which proven unsuitable for various reasons. Finally in 2001, the society acquired Kirkland Yard, a former 21 acre railway marshalling yard on the outskirts of Leven and in 2003, the rolling stock was moved from the Power Station to their new home. Since then the KFRPS have since constructed half a mile of track plus substantial sidings, along with a two lane engine shed which is used for restoration work.
In 2016 the Fife Heritage Railway fired the first steam engine to run on a Fife heritage line since the closure of Lochty in 1992. Forth gained its boiler certificate in August which will run until 2020 when it is due for overhaul, after a brief running in period, Forth was brought into service during the last days of the 2016 working season. Over the winter, the painting will be completed in Wemyss Coal Company livery and a ceremony will be held for its re-naming.
