Old Photograph Seafield Tower Scotland
Old photograph of Seafield Tower located between Kinghorn and Kirkcaldy, Fife, Scotland. This ruined Scottish castle is located on the North Sea coast of Fife and The Fife Coastal Path passes the tower. The lands of Seafield and Markinch were granted to Robert Multrare by King James II of Scotland in 1443. The lands and the tower remained in the ownership of the Multrare, or Moultrie as the family name became, until 1631 when the lands were sold to James Law then Archbishop of Glasgow. With Law's death in 1632 ownership of the tower becomes lost but eventually it passed into the hands of the Methven family. Its last owner was Methven of Raith who abandoned it in 1733.
