History
The Barony of Abbotshall dates back to the 16th century, when it was held by the Scott family, who were significant landowners in Fife.

The barony's lands were historically connected with nearby Kirkcaldy, playing a role in the local economy and governance.[3]
The barony has changed hands multiple times over the centuries. The original Abbotshall House, once the seat of the barony, was replaced by a mansion in the 17th century, which itself fell into ruin by the 1800s. Today, remnants of the original estate, including some old walls and gateways, can still be found in Raith Gardens, Kirkcaldy.[4]
