Peacehill (or Peasehill) lies close to Wormit and the railway line approach to the Tay Rail Bridge on the south bank of the River Tay in Fife. The history of the Reid association in the area has its roots in the farming career of David Reid (1796-1882) who was the tenant of Cruivie after farming at Todhall. Cruivie lies around 4 miles south east of Peacehill, midway between the communities of Kilmany and Balmullo, Fife. His eldest son Alexander Reid (1818-1882) then farmed at Cruivie and also at Priorletham and Little Kinnear, and his younger son David Reid (1820-1884) became tenant of Peacehill. At Cruivie farming was continued by Alexander's son David Reid (1860-1917), then by J. D. Graeme Reid. At Peacehill the Reid association continued with David Reid (1865-1933). The brothers of this younger David Reid, Frank Reid (1869-1902) and George Reid (1871-1964), became Ministers of the Church of Scotland.
