Fife was a contested county during the 1715 rising. Jacobite detachments from Mar's army at Perth crossed the Forth estuary to operate in Fife, gathering supplies and recruits. These forays met sporadic resistance from government-aligned towns and Presbyterian communities. Falkland Palace, the old Scottish royal hunting seat, lay in the heart of this contested territory.
