Fife / Re: does anyone know where Backbraes is now in Ceres Fife?
« on: Thursday 12 January 23 17:01 GMT (UK)  »
I'm very behind the curve on this one, but only just joined Roots as I explore the history of Teasses (where I now live).

Backbraes were worker's cottages (described as Cottar's Cottages on the 19th C. maps we have in the archive of the Mansion). They were situated where the car park for Fleecefaulds Meadow is now and were destroyed in mid-20th. maybe as late as early '70s. The stone from the cottages was used to create the junction at Higham Toll on the road from Peat Inn to Cameron.

Bankhead of Teasses is a separate property to the north of Fleecefaulds Meadow.

Fife / Re: Gray's - hall

A very late post so hopefully someone is still interested! Anyway,

Gray's Hall is on Teasses Estate next to the area of Hall Teasses Farm, however we now call it Gracehall but this is a derivation of the original Gray's Hall which referred to owner of Teasses in the 18th C. Rev. John Gray and his daughter Miss Jean (Jane) Gray.

I live on Teasses and have explored the history but keen to learn more.
