Old Photograph Couston Castle Scotland
Old photograph of Couston Castle near Inverkeithing, Fife, Scotland. This Scottish castle was built on lands granted to Robert de London, an illegitimate son of King William the Lion in 1199. It was was firstly the property of the Logans of Restalrig, but passed later to the Earls of Moray. By the sixteenth century there was a fortified castle protected by artillery. King James V confirmed a charter to James Logan of Couston, whose family were resident at that period, during which the castle was rebuilt. For part of the second half of the seventeenth century it was occupied by Robert Blair, a Presbyterian clergyman, who was a former tutor of King Charles I, and who died there in 1666.
