Cambo, a mansion on the SE border of Kingsbarns parish, Fife, near the coast, 2½ miles N by W of Crail. The seat of Sir Thos. Erskine, second Bart. since 1821 (b. 1824; suc. 1841), it suffered greatly from a fire of 8 July 1878. A small headland near it is called Camho Ness; and some skerries, 2½ furlongs NNE of the headland, bear the name Cambo-Brigs.
