The name, 'Freuchie' comes from the Scottish Gaelic, 'fraoch', meaning heather. Local tradition has it that Freuchie was the place where the French masons who worked on Falkland Palace in the 16th century lived and where disgraced courtiers were sent - 'Awa tae Freuchie, and eat froggies'! Today Freuchie is a delightful, rural village with good amenities. The Lomond Hills Hotel is just a couple of hundred yards away, as is the well stocked village shop. Bridgend Garden Centre is nearby also and the village is well served by a good local bus service.
