From the Wikipedia article
Ceres is a village in Fife, Scotland, located in a small glen approximately 2 miles (3 km) over the Ceres Moor from Cupar and 7 mi (11 km) from St Andrews. The former parish of that name included the settlements of Baldinnie, Chance Inn, Craigrothie, Pitscottie and Tarvit Mill.

Background
Description
Thomas Buchanan (related to the 17th-century theologian George Buchanan), who became the last church provost of Ceres in 1578, was at one time said to be the subject of "The Provost" sculpture, in the village centre. However, the sculpture is an amalgam of parts: the upper section is a Toby Jug and therefore cannot pre-date 1760; the word PROVOST has been added by a different hand and appears to be a joke aimed at a 19th century self-appointed leader of the local community. The overall frame is 16th or early 17th century and contains a worn but interesting hunting scene.
