Two painted ceilings were discovered by accident at Rossend Castle, Burntisland, in 1957, one being of the flat, open-beam type, the other either barrel-vaulted or coved. Neither ceiling was dated, but the open-beam ceiling bore the initials SRM, standing for Sir Robert Melville of Murdocairnie or his son, Sir Robert Melville of Burntisland, which implies that the ceiling was painted between 1581 and 1621
