    Extracts From inland. The latter contains the Parish Church and Manse, the Parish School and School-House, two farm houses with farm steadings, and about a Westwood's dozen workmen's cottages. It is not, properly speaking, a Royal Burgh, for so far as is known, it never had a Royal Charter, and it holds feu of a parochial directory subject superior, Admiral Bethune, of Balfour. It seems, however, to have exercised the privilege for the counties of of sending a member to the Scottish Parliament without any objections; and at the Union it was classed with the two Anstruthers, Crail, and Fife and Kinross Pittenweem, in sending a member to the British Parliament; and by the Reform Bill it was, for the 1862 same purpose, conjoined with these burghs, along with Cupar and St Andrews. The magistrates had the ordinary jurisdiction of Kilrenny Parish Including magistrates of Royal Burghs, until, in Cellardyke consequence of an error in a previous election, it was disfranchised in 1828; since which period, all municipal matters have been under the charge of This Parish, containing the inland village of managers appointed by the Court of Session.

  • Ceres Village Heritage Trail
    This guided tour of Ceres highlights some of the features of the village and shows how it owes its existence to the surrounding countryside and to the industry of its people. The walk is an easy route of about 3/4 mile taking some 45 minutes and begins at the provost at the Cross, where The Ceres Inn itself is located, a great place to start and end. 1) The Cross and The Ceres Inn - You are standing at the 'Cross', a crossroads which was from early times, the hub of trade where many old tracks converged. At one corner is the Ceres Inn (formally Volunteers' Arms) while behind you is the 'Provost of Ceres'. 2) The Provost - Opposite the Ceres Inn surveying the passing scene from his niche in the wall is the Toby-Jug figure of the Rev. Thomas Buchanan, Minister of Ceres 1578-99, known as "the Provost of Ceres". This squat, grinning little figure has a colourful history and has done a great deal of travelling in his time. The statue was the work of a local stonemason called John Howie, born in 1820 and brought up in Saughtree Cottage in Ceres. The statue is reputed to be a likeness of the Rev Thomas Buchanan, a man of great learning and a nephew of George Buchanan, the famous historian. He was minister of the village Kirk and the last Provost of Ceres, being presented to the post in 1578 by King James the Sixth. The statue's original resting place was in the gardens of Kirklands, the old church manse that once occupied what is now the church car park, where he was placed in 1837 by his first owner the Rev Joseph Crichton, minister of Ceres for almost 60 years.
