Freuchie was once used by the Royal family as a place of banishment from the Court when it was in nearby Falkland Palace. There are many interesting 18th and 19th Century buildings including a Victorian Linen Mill and a church built in 1875. It is said that French masons working on the construction of Falkland Palace lived here during the 16th century and that the village was a place of exile for disgraced courtiers, hence the old saying Awa' tae Freuchie, whaur the Froggies live. Mary Galloway was born in Freuchie in 1861, her parents were Robert Galloway a Bootmaker and his wife Isabella Galloway.
