After which installed in another private house in Fife until removed by the current owner.Note: Note: Kilmaron Castle, outside Cupar in Fife, was built circa 1820 for Sir David Baxter, the Dundee textile manufacturer. Designed by the prominent Scottish Architect James Gillespie Graham, Kilmaron was a large castellated three storey mansion built in the Gothic Revival style, who was influenced by the work of Augustus Pugin. The style was favoured by the architect and he was particularly adept with it. Graham's designs for other country houses in the Gothic style include Duns Castle, Crawford Priory, Torrisdale Castle, and Cambusnethen Priory, all of which relate to the scheme employed at Kilmaron. In 1838 Graham was responsible for the fantastically remodelled Gothic interiors of Taymouth Castle. Like many Scottish country houses, the 20th century was not kind to Kilmaron Castle, with it eventually falling derelict by the 1970s. Deemed unsafe and beyond saving, it was stripped of its interiors blown up in 1985.
