Myres Castle
(Myres Castle ) is a Scottish castle situated in Fife near the village of Auchtermuchty (). Its history is interleaved with that of nearby Falkland Palace with present day castle construction dating to 1530. The castle and magnificent Scottish garden are now operated as a private conference centre with lodging.
==Name derivation and early history==
Its history is intertwined with the nearby Falkland Palace, since Myres was the heritary home of the Macers, or Sergeants of Arms, of Falkland. The word "myres" is associated with a boggy place; in fact, Myres Castle is located within fields and policies with marginal drainage. Further drainage improvements to the fields were made as late as the 1970s. There exists an attractive pond in front of the Castle, which also serves to collect runoff. The lands of the present Myres estate originally part of the extensive properties of the Earl of Fife, the Myres portion being converyed by marriage to Robert, Duke of Albany. In the year 1425, Murdoch, the son of Robert, forfeited the holding to the crown. From that time until the 16th century, the tenant farmers rents are recording in the rolls of the Royal Exchequer, indicating continuing ownership of the king. The first recorded tenant of the south quarter of Auchtermuchty, known as "the myres", was Robert Coxwell who resided at the Scottish Royal Court.
