Fernie, an estate in Monimail parish, Fife, 4 miles W of Cupar and 3¾ NNE of Ladybank. It appears to have been part of the original demesne of the Earls of Fife; and it retains a baronial fortalice of great antiquity, once a place of considerable strength, surrounded by marshy ground. Its owner, Francis Walter Balfour, Esq. (b. 1831; suc. 1854), holds 1725 acres in the shire, valued at £3224 per annum.
