Barn at Rathillet House Now in the grounds of Rathillet house, this ruined barn was apparently the erstwhile home of Covenanter David Hackston, who was present at the murder of Archbishop Sharp at Magus Muir, although he played no part in the crime. He was executed at the Grassmarket in Edinburgh, suffering the most violent of deaths. After being hung and drawn, his body was quartered and parts were sent to various parts of Scotland for burial, including Cupar.
