Thanks to Foz for the heads up on this place. It was lucky enough to be included in Zimbob and Bryag's Fife Odyssey. What an amazing building it must have been in it's day.
Also, although it is called "Crawford Priory", it never actually was a priory, so perhaps this is not the correct section. I am sure admin will move if necessary.
I believe Spacepunk has already done a report on it, but did not venture too far in . We bit the bullet and had a few scares, and I even fell in that comedic "save the camera" way

Some pics from our visit
I cannot stress enough how dangerous this site is
There are large chunks of masonry, plaster and the remaining wood beams waiting to fall on someones head
The rest of the externals
The different periods of architecture are very obvious
There is a TV aerial at the top of that ivy clad tower
