[2] The same document reveals that St Nicholas also held the land of Peekie and a toft and croft at Lundin (between Leven and Largo).
The letter-book of James Haldenston, prior of St Andrews, reveals that the township was also called Liberton ("Leper toun").
[6] Between November 1986 and March 1987 excavation took place in the area, prior to the construction of the East Sands Leisure Centre and car park.
It is thought that the excavation uncovered the western boundary-wall of the hospital with another building (possibly a bakery) built against the wall's east face.
[7] More of the wall was uncovered in 1993,[8] and in 1994 excavations took place along the Interceptor Sewer Pipeline (between Pipeland Cottage and St Nicholas farmhouse) after a bronze hoard and a few stone axes were found in the area.
