The protruding Kelly Lodge

The Kelly Lodge , also Kellie Lodge , is a residential building in the Scottish village of Pittenweem in the Council Area Fife . In 1972 the building was included as an individual monument in the Scottish list of monuments in the highest category A.

history

The oldest parts of the building were built around 1590. It was probably the Clan Oliphant , who resided at Kellie Castle , who built a town house with Kelly Lodge. Thomas Erskine , who was installed as the first Earl of Kellie in 1619 , had the building expanded. During this work, an increase was made and the existing windows expanded. By 1971 the National Trust for Scotland had the Kelly Lodge restored.
