    The Tyndall Bruce monument stands on the Black
    Hill looking out over the Falkland Estate which at
    one time extended from the East Lomond as far
    as Strathmiglo and Auchtermuchty. The building
    commemorates Onesiphorus Tyndall Bruce, the
    Laird, who died on 19 March 1855 at the age of 65.
    A Grade Two listed building, its architectural
    description is a “Tall tapering 2-stage
    obelisk monument on graduated
    circular base. Squared, stugged rubble.
    Rusticated margins. Segmental-arched
    entrance opening to South with flanking
    narrow round-arched slit openings.
    Projecting ashlar band course above base.
    Rectangular memorial plaque to North.”
    The Fife Herald of 1857 summed it up more
    succinctly as a “very massy and lasting
    building”.
