Tour Scotland Video Creich Castle North Fife



Tour Scotland video of Creich castle on ancestry visit to 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 Falklands. The Laird of Creich, Beaton by name, had an older brother who was the Archbishop of St. Andrews nearby. The third son of Laird Creich, Davie Beaton, went to work for his uncle, the Archbishop of St. Andrews. This Scottish Castle is located in a quiet hollow surrounded with hills, next to the castle is a private dwelling built in the eighteenth century of stones from the castle. On the same road and near the castle are ruins of an ancient church and graveyard.
