Old travel Blog photograph of the cliffs at Kincraig Point on the coastal walking path by Elie and Earlsferry, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. According to legend and tradition, MacDuff concealed himself in the cave at Kincraig which bears his name. A substantial wall built across the recess of the cave is pointed out as having been built to shelter MacDuff. The Clan Duff claims descent from the original Royal Scoto Pictish line of which Queen Gruoch of Scotland, wife of Macbeth, King of Scotland was the senior representative. After the death of MacBeth, King Malcolm III of Scotland seized the Crown and his son, Aedh, married the daughter of Queen Gruoch. Aedh was created Earl of Fife and abbot of Abernethy. The early chiefs of Clan MacDuff were the Earls of Fife.
