Pittarthie Castle
Pittarthie Castle was a laird’s fortified house in Fife, Scotland. The ruins of the structure are located southwest of Dunino, and northwest of Anstruther.〔John Gifford: ''Fife'', "The Buildings of Scotland" Series, Penguin Books, 1988, pp. 43 and 346〕 The name is spelled Pittarthie and Pittairthie in extant records. The ruins are protected as a scheduled monument,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pittarthie Castle )〕 and as a category B listed building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pittarthie Castle: Listed Building Report )〕
==History==
The present house was built for James Monypenny of Pitmilly ''circa'' 1580.〔 The King confirmed to Andrew Logan of Easter Granton and his heirs, “the lands of Pittarthie with certain others, including the fortalice, manor-place, etc., which had formerly been held of the Archbishop of St. Andrews by James Monypenny of Pitmelie and had been resigned by him in favour of the said Andrew”.〔Raymond Lamont-Brown: ''Discovering Fife'', John Donald Publishers Ltd., Edinburgh, 1988.〕 The estate was bought by the Bruces ''circa'' 1636〔 or 1644,〔Jim Robertson, of Queensland, Australia: correspondence dated 27 Mar 1996, containing information abstracted by Mr. Ian C. Copland of the District Library Service, North East Fife District Council, Cupar, Fife, Scotland, from the District Library holdings. The information includes abstracts from an unattributed history of structures in Fife, and an especially detailed description of Pittarthie Castle in an inventory of monuments in Fife published by the Historical Monuments (Scotland) Commission.〕 and the house was remodeled by William Bruce of Pittarthie in 1653.〔 In 1654, William Bruce inherited the property from his father, Andrew Bruce.〔Robertson: correspondence...〕
In 1882, the house, called "Pittairthie Castle", was described as “a roofless ruin in the southwest of the () parish, partly very ancient ... partly a structure of 1653; and in its oldest portion consists of a large square tower, with vaults beneath”.〔Francis Hindes Groome: ''Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland: A Survey of Scottish Topography, Statistical, Biographical and Historical'', Thomas C. Jack, Grange Publishing Works, 1882.〕 The description “partly very ancient” may have resulted from observation of the coarser masonry at the bottom of the south wall, mentioned in the later description, which would suggest an even earlier structure had stood on the site. The estate dates from the 14th century according to one report, which also states that the property passed to the Hannays of Kingsmuir sometime after about 1700.〔
