Rossie House, a mansion in the W of Collessie parish, Fife, 1 ¾ mile E by N of Auchtermuchty. Rossie Loch, once the largest sheet of water in the county, abounding in perch and pike, was partially drained in 1740, but only so as to be marshy in summer and almost covered with water in the winter. In 1805-6, however, it was better drained, by means of deepened and extended ducts toward the Eden, at a cost of £3000; and it then left 250 acres capable of productive tillage, and 40 more so far marshy as to yield natural hay.—Ord. Sur., sh. 40, 1867.
