"Enumeration District 3 in the census schedule is that part of the burgh bounded on the North and East by the lands of Mr. Bethune and Innergelly and on the South and West by the ancient Royalty". There are just over a dozen houses here, but they included such mansions as Inngergellie House, Rennyhill farmhouse and minister's manse, where we find the most prominent men of the Parish. Rennyhill, formerly a possession of the Lumsdens or lumsdaines of innergellie, had passed by the mid 18th century to the Anstruther baillie Andrew Johnston, and at the time of the 1841 census was inhabited by his great grandson George Johnston. George's brother Andrew was to become MP for East Fife." Andrew Johnston, sen. 54 Devonshire Street, London. Rennyhill, Fifeshire. Elder son of Andrew Johnston, Esq., of Rennyhill.
