Description

Rossend Castle er et herresæde i Burntisland, en lille by på Fife's sydkyst i Skotland. Siden 1119 har der været et donjon kaldet Tower of Kingorne Wester på dette sted. Dette blev senere kaldt Burntisland Castle og fra 1382 Abbot's Hall, fordi abbeden af Dunfermline boede der. Den nuværende bygning stammer hovedsageligt fra det 16. århundrede, men kælderen blev bygget i det 13. århundrede; Det indeholder høje spidsbuevinduer og repræsenterer sandsynligvis rester af et kapel, som Peter Durie af Durie lod renovere fra 1552, og våbenskjoldet for abbed George Durie og årstallet 1554 vises over hovedindgangen. Mary Stuart besøgte slottet i sin korte personlige regeringstid (1561–1567). Den 14. februar 1562 blev den franske ambassadør og digter Chastelard fundet gemt under Marys seng. I 1651 blev slottet indtaget af Oliver Cromwells soldater, og ved slutningen af det 17. århundrede tilhørte det familien Wemyss, som lod første sal renovere.
