Tyndall Bruce Monument

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”.
