In the Fife parish of Kettle, Foggybutts seems to have consisted of two adjacent cottages on the hillside overlooking Kettlebridge to the north and the Lomond Hills to the west.
East Forthar Farm still stands across the fields, but the Foggybutts cottages are no longer there. Amazingly, though, the field pattern remains the same as in 1865.

The path to Foggybutts
|
It took a while to locate the site of Foggybutts (or Foggie Butts, as it is sometimes spelled).
But nowadays a track to Rameldry Mill Bank leads up the gentle slope to where the cottages once stood; cottages in which a number of ancestral births and deaths took place:
- 1861 - birth of Isabella Arthur Peebles
1867
- death of Isabella Spence- 1877 - death of Alexander Peebles
- 1880 - death of John Arthur
- 1881 - home of Isabella Arthur
