12th century references
St Brides, Douglas
Manor, Redwells.....

As far as my own family is concerned, the tradition was that "three brothers,strong working men, came from England, or Ireland, and settled at Carslogie March, (Cupar, Fife) in the 16th century, and it is from one of these that the family is descended". photos pending
Records show that there were indeed Inglises on the Carslogie estate, which belonged to the Clephane family, but I have found nothing to prove that they were my own. The claim was made in a handwritten manuscript of the family narrative by Charles Simson Inglis, of whom more later, in the mid 19th century. He also wrote that our unknown ancestor was "proprietor" of a small piece of land at Bondfield, Cupar. Perhaps records or documents were still in existence at the time Charles was writing, that have now been sadly lost. In fact land at Bondfield did indeed belong to the family, but from what time is not known today.  According to Charles the land at Bondfield was disponed by the Carslogie propritor on 16 Dec.1685, but no record has been found in the Sasines in the Scottish archives.  One of the descendants, eldest of the family, built a house on the land in 1815, and moved there in 1817.  On old maps it is clearly seen to be named Bondfield, but at some point in time it has taken the name from the farm round the corner on the main road, and is now known as Gilliesfaulds House.

Carslogie March - march meaning a boundary - was situated on the main road into Cupar from Perth, almost opposite Gilliesfaulds farm.  Nothing remains of a property that old but a few cottages can be found there, one still called Carslogie March, probably a later build and not necessarily on the same site. photo and map pending
