Rankeillour, Over or Upper, a fine mansion in Monimail parish, Fife, 3 miles W by S of Cupar. It was built by General John Hope, afterwards fourth Earl of Hopetoun; and has splendidly wooded grounds. The estate, which belonged originally to a family of the name of Rankeillour, at an early period went to a branch of the Sibbalds of Balgonie; and, passing in the time of Charles II. to Sir Archibald Hope, grandson of the celebrated Sir Thomas Hope of Craighall, is now the property of H. W. Hope, Esq. of Luffness.—Ord. Sur., sh. 40, 1867.
