What is recorded here

Seafield Tower rose in red sandstone along the Fife coast around 1542, built for John Moultray as a five-storey stronghold with walls thick enough to resist siege and storm. The Multray family held it for generations before ownership changed hands, ending with the Methven family, who abandoned it in 1733. The sea has since taken its courtyard and corner, leaving a hollow shell on the coastal path where kitchens, halls and chambers once echoed.
