MARIUNCH (pop. 1499)

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAL-MAR
MARIUNCH (pop. 1499) , a police
burgh
  situated between Conland Burn and the Leven, 74 M. N. by E. of Kirkcaldy by the North British railway, is a place of
great
  antiquity. A cell of the Culdees was established hereby one of the last of the Celtic bishops, the site of which may possibly be marked by the ancient
cross
  of Balgonie. Markinch is also believed to have been a residence of the earlier kings, where prior to the 11th century they occasionally administered
justice
 ; and in the reign of William the Lion (d. 1214) the warrantors of goods alleged to have been stolen were required to appear here. Its
industries
  comprise bleaching, flax-spinning,
paper
 -making, distilling and coal-mining. Balgonie Castle, close by, the keep of which is 8o ft. high, was a residence of Alexander
Leslie
 , the first
earl
  of Leven, and at Balfour Castle were born Cardinal Beaton and his uncle and nephew the archbishops of Glasgow.
