Kirkness is a large ruined farm containing several dwellings and a walled garden, near Loch Leven, here. It is also worth looking for it here.
There is very limited information about Kirkness on the web. It seems to have been owned by a Douglas family (Douglas of Kirkness). Inhabitants in 1841: 1841 Census.
It seems reasonable to conclude that the buildings became derelict early in the 20th century. Still, it makes a very picturesque ruin. Photographs taken around sunset.
Walled garden.

I cheated here. This sign is from a nearby farm called West Mains of Kirkness.
