Dist:0.3km<br/>There are two towers like this at the ends of the wall concealing the Wemyss family burial ground from passers-by on the Fife coastal path. A chapel was built in these grounds around 1536, but this was destroyed during the reformation and the building was later used as a house by the Earls of Wemyss.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Built near a long gone chapel, the tower was built on to the old manse and was home to David, 2nd. Earl of Wemyss lived there, with his wife Anna, from 1635 until her death in 1649. The tower, sometimes known in the past as West Wemyss Castle, is situated adjacent to the Wemyss family burial ground.
