Myres Castle
Myres Castle is a Scottish castle situated in Fife near the village of Auchtermuchty.

The castle and magnificent Scottish garden are now operated as a private conference centre with lodging.

Further drainage improvements to the fields were made as late as the 1970s. There exists an attractive pond in front of the Castle, which also serves to collect runoff. The lands of the present Myres estate originally were part of the extensive properties of the Earl of Fife, the Myres portion being conveyed by marriage to Robert, Duke of Albany. In the year 1425, Mu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
