May 16th photograph of Creich Castle, North Fife, Scotland. The Earl MacDuff chose this site for one of his defensive towers. Kinsmen of the Leddel and Beaton families were installed as Constable of Creich Castle. Farmers of Creich family stayed on the farm to continue to produce the food required by the favorite royal castle of Falkland. The Laird of Creich, Beaton by name, had an older brother who was the Archbishop of nearby St Andrews. The third son of Laird Creich, Davie Beaton, went to work for his uncle, the Archbishop of St. Andrews. Mary Beaton of Creich was one of the 'four Maries' who attended Mary Queen of Scots.
