This photo, taken from the website Scottish Castles Photo Library at www.rampantscotland.com, is of the ruins of the Arnot Tower, built in the early 12 century in Fife, Scotland, but now only ruins.
Resting place of James, Ann Hunter, and daughter joan Arnott in the od part of Saline cemetery. There is no longer indication of specific graves except by meansurement. Photo taken September 2009 by researcher Peter Arnott.
Peter Arnot/ts family moved from Roscobie to Lassodie around 1880 and into coal mining. That was a thriving new village but all that remains is now a barren landscape on the right of the picture (the grey bit). It will be restored on completion of opencast mining. A lot of Arnotts were born at Lassodie. Photo was taken in September 2009 by researcher Peter Arnott.
Steelend farm is located on the right of this photo. It was a ruin until recently and now is eing renovated by a local architect for his home. Lovely views to the south and the Firth of Forth. Quite a dramatic setting. Photo was taken in September 2009 by researcher Peter Arnott.
View from Denhead, Roscobie, now riding stables. Deanfaulds was the first home of George and Betty Fotheringham and is now a ruin, not in the picture, and on the rising ground to the right of the reservoir. The hill in the distance top right is Knockhill, Steelend where John Arnot 1838 and Ann Hunter brought up their family.Photo was taken in September 2009 by researcher Peter Arnott.

The copy of signature from John King (the 1835 signature) and from John Adams (the 1867 signature) shows the similarities and perhaps helps verify that John King and John Adams were the same person. These images were given to this researcher by George Shirley, another Adams/King researcher, in May 2008.
