Subject: RE: Folklore: Fyvie's Land? From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 10 Apr 08 - 11:04 PM Bethelnie is just a few miles from Fyvie. Fyvie Castle was the seat of the Lords of Fyvie, who owned a fair bit of the land thereabouts. Google will tell you more if you ask it. |

Subject: RE: Folklore: Fyvie's Land? From: Effsee Date: 10 Apr 08 - 10:36 PM Banjovey, your assumption would be entirely wrong. Fyvie is in Aberdeenshire, nowhere near Fife. There is no such title as the Earl of Fife. |

Subject: RE: Folklore: Fyvie's Land? From: Banjovey Date: 10 Apr 08 - 10:18 PM My assumption is that it refers to the land "owned" by the Earl of Fife. See Tifty's Bonnie Annie for another reference. |
