jJM^. A. WESTWOOD, PRINTER, CROSS, CUPAR. PREFACE.

In introducing to the public the First Edition of the Parochial Directory of Fife and Kinross, the Publisher begs to state that the work has been in contemplation for several years ; and that nothing but a deep sense of the labour and responsibility attending such an undertaking, has prevented its earlier appearance. Now, that the intention has been matui'ed, he hopes that his labours will be generally appreciated. The Publisher expects that a work of such general utility as a Parochial Directory for the two Counties, will commend itself to the patronage of the public. Indeed, the interest taken in the undertaking, and the assistance so heai'tily rendered by all classes, place its success beyond a doubt ; and he embraces this opportunity of returning his thanks to those gentlemen who gave their aid in getting up the various Parochial Lists, and correcting the Proofs, In particular, he begs to express his special thanks to William Patrick, Esq., Assessor of Lands and Heritages for the County of Fife, who most matei-ially lessened his labours by placing at his disposal the Valuation Rolls made up by him ; and otherwise tendered such help as only one having a thorough knowledge of the County could give. The Publisher is aware that, although every effort has been made to secure such a measure of accui'acy as to make the undei-taking worthy of the two Counties, some typographical and other errors will be found in the body of the work ; but he hopes that they will not interfere with its general usefulness ; and he rests satisfied that those who can best appreciate the difficulties attending the getting up of such a work, will be the most ready to overlook those minor faults which could scarcely be avoided in the first issue of such a publication. He is also aware that objections may be made to the manner in which some portions of the Directory are classified, but every suggestion for its improvement, will be thankfully received and made use of in future editions. It is to be regretted that, owing to various obstacles, the publication of the Directory has been delayed considerably beyond the period originally anticipated. That delay has rendered an Appendix necessary, in order to correct the earlier printed portions, so as to bring it as nearly as possible down to the date of publication. Those, therefore, who may require to consult the Directory regfirdiug any particular Parish, should also refer to the Appendix, and note the changes therein indicated. Arrangements will be made by which such an expedient will be rendered un- necessary in future. It is to be hoped that the historical and topographical Intro- ductions to the various Parishes, though not necessary for the purposes of a Directory, and though adding somewhat to the cost, will prove to many not its least attractive feature. While the information therein contained has been carefully abridged from the statistical account of Scotland, the various Gazeteers, &c., an intimate knowledge of nearly every district of the two Counties, has enabled the Publisher to correct a number of the mistakes, and at tlie same time add to tlie information contained in those older books of reference. During the progress of the work, the question has repeatedly been put, as to the intervals at which it is intended to issiie the Directory, and the present opportunity is embraced of stating that the frequency of the publication will altogether depend upon the wishes of the public. It is likely that another edition will be pubiislied at the end of two years, and the amount of encourage- ment then received, will decide as to whether it will, thereafter, be an Annual, a Biennial, or a Triennial publication. It is hoped that the beautiful Map, drawn and engraved for the Directory, by the Messrs W. &, A. K. Johnston, of Edinburgh, will still further increase its usefulness and enhance its value.

DESCRIPTION AND BAELY HISTORY.

Fife is an extensive and important County on the eastern side of Scotland ; it is in the form of a peninsula, having the waters of the Firth of Forth on the south, the German Ocean on the east, and on the north the Tay, which separates it from

Forfarshire ; on the west it is bounded in a very irregular manner by Kinross-shire, Clackmannanshire, and parts of Perthshire. Its greatest length from west to east is about 43 miles, and its greatest breadth 21 miles. Its total area is estimated by various writers, at from about 298,000, to 322,000 acres, of which i\d]j three-fourths are under cultivation. The County lies between 56° 3' and 56° 25', north latitude. At an early period the district of Fife, including Kinross-shire, Clackmannanshire, parts of Perthshire, and perhaps part of Stirlingshire, was designated Ross, a term signifying a peninsula, and seems to have been under one jurisdiction. Different events conspired to break up this ample territory into, at least, three distinct counties. The small shire of Clackmannan was first separated, and about the year 1426, another portion was cut off, and entitled Kinross, a name importing the head of the peninsula. It has been well remarked, "That such changes have had no effect in retarding the prosperity of the County, although a better division might easily have been made." From its compact nature and partial independence of support from without, it was the custom to designate it the "Kingdom of Fife," a popular phrase still retained. The ancient history of Fife, as of the other portions of Scotland, is wrapped in obscurity, and almost all we learn from Tacitus and other Roman authors is, "that the original inhabitants of the district of Ross, of which Fife forms the eastern part, were named the Horestii, a Celtic tribe." It is said that they had no towns in Fife, but they had numerous hill forts all over the County, and their remains are still to be traced on the hiUs of Dunearn, Carnock, Craigluscar, and Saline, also, in the Ochils, in the parishes of Strathmiglo and Newburgh. Evidence of the struggles of these early Celts with their Roman invaders, is to be found in the circumstance, that in these forts both British and Roman remains have been discovered, proving that the strongholds of the Horestii had been captured by the Romans, and afterwards used by them for the purposes of safety and defence. Little is known of the history of the district after the invasions of the Romans, further than that the Picts are next heard of as the inhabitants of Fife, who, towards the close of the 9th century, finally submitted to the King of

the Scots ; after which we read of the Danish invasions, from which the district often suffered severely. The almost insidar position of Fife, between the northern and southern divisions of the Kingdom, was of great advantage to the County, by placing it beyond the general sphere of Highland and Border warfare, by which it escaped A 2 FIFESHIRE. FIFESHIRE many of the trouHes which long vexed other portions of the country, and was thus enabled, at a much earlier period than other districts, to cultivate the arts of peace. It is known that for some time prior to the 11th century, the County was, in a great measure, either the property or under the potent jurisdiction of a line of Thanes, or Earls, of the name of M'Duff, who, from the middle of the eleventh century to the forfeiture of the family in 1424, were among the most influential of the Scottish Peerage. The chief residences of the Earls of Fife were at Cupar and Falkland, it being on the forfeiture of Murdoch, Duke of Albany, and confiscation of his estates to the Crown, that the Palace of Falkland became the property and a residence of the Scottish Sovereigns. From various concurring evidences in history, we learn that the Peninsula of Fife was originally almost an entire forest full of swamps, as indeed was nearly all the rest of Scotland. While in the condition of a forest, it was the haunt of wild beasts, and especially boars of a large size, and it is un- derstood that such creatures, as well as the larger animals of the chase, were not

extirpated until after the reign of James V. , who, like his predecessors, made Fife the scene of his hunting expeditions, while residing at the royal residence of Falk- land. It is long, however, since Fife was freed from all such characteristics of a rude country. Fife has always occupied a prominent place in the History of Scotland. Though this prominence may be owing, in some degree, to the circumstance that both a Royal residence and the ecclesiastical capital of the Kingdom were in the County, still much is owing to that energy and enterprise which for centuries have charac- terized the native inhabitants, who have ever proved themselves equally ready to

defend or forward the best interests of their country ; and in all the contests of the people for the maintenance of their civil and religious liberties, we find the "men of Fife" at their posts, and distinguishing themselves either as soldiers in the field or councillors in the cabinet. At the Reformation, the County was ever foremost in those struggles which ended in the overthrow of Popery, and in the complete ascendancy of Protestant principles. The peninsula of Fife exhibits in its surface a series of vales, stretching from west to east, parallel with the sea on each side, and of greater and less dimensions. These vales, which in some places are not so distinct as in others, are the basins of various small streams, which are either poured into the Firth of Forth or St Andrews Bay. Fife has a bleak hilly appearance when viewed from the Edinburgh

side of the Forth ; but no sooner is the summit of the first rising ground reached in penetrating into the interior, than the scene is agreeably changed, and the tourist successively delighted with the view of these consecutive vales, consisting of finely cultivated braes waving downwards to the brooks in their lower parts, and

dimini shing in acclivity as they approach their eastern termination . The vales of the Orr and the Leven being passed, the traveller is ushered into the wide and extensive vale of the Eden, or " Howe of Fife ;" through which glides, with noiseless current, the stream which gives its name to the central valley of the Coim.ty. Further north the land is again hilly, though for the most part in a high state of cultivation, declining with rather a quick descent to the Firth of Tay.

AGRICULTURE, SOIL, TRADE, MINERALS, &C.

In the County are four kinds of soil, differing in quality, and generally occupying distinct tracts of country. Along the banks of the Forth, the soil is for the most part of an excellent quality, being deep rich loam on good clay, and gravel mixed with loamy earth. Northwards from the lines which bound this territory to the base of the hills on the south side of the Howe of Fife, to the western parts of the

county, the soil is in general inferior ; being cold, poor, and wet clay, with mossy and stony land. The Howe of Fife consists of loam, partly deep and moist, and partly light and dry, with a proportion of moor and moss, with better land at the lower end of the strath. In the hilly ground from the Howe to the Tay, the soil is in DIEECTORT. FIFESHIEE. 3 general good, having much rich loam, clay, and grayel. Of coiirse by the constant operation of improvements, these primitive properties of the soil are in all cases, to a greater or less extent, modified, improved, or altered ; and to such an extent has the practice of draining and trenching been carried on, and of applying manure, lime, guano, and other patent fertilizers to the soil, that during the last fifty years the change in the appearance of the County is almost miraculous. Land that sixty years ago was not considered fit for cultivation, now yields heavy crops, and is rented at sums that formerly would have been considered fabulous for the best land in the district. In Minerals, the County possesses extensive fields of coal, lime, stone, and iron- stone ; and for building and other purposes, the supplyof bothwhinstone and freestone is inexhaustible, extensive quarries of the latter being wrought in the parishes of Cupar, Kemback, St Andrews, &c., suificient not only for the wants of the several districts, but for transmission by railway to distant parts. There are also large beds of alluvial clay in almost all the districts of the County, and extensive brick and tile works are in full operation in almost every district. For many years various branches of the linen manufacture have been extensively carried on in Fife, its chief seats being the centre and western parts of the County. The different kinds of goods made will be described in the notices appended to the different parishes. The manufacture of woollen and cotton goods in the County is very limited, linen forming the great manufactiuing staple of Fife.

HILLS, RIVERS, AND RAILWAYS.

The principal hiUs in Fife are the West Lomond, 1500 feet high ; the East

Lomond, 1471 feet ; Largo Law, 1020 feet, and Kelly Law, 800 feet. There are only two streams entitled to the appellation of Rivers that run tlirough the i interior of the County—the Eden and the Leven, both of which are fine fishing streams, containing abundance of trout and some sabnon. Within the last 14 years, the Railway system has been extended over almost every district of the County. The Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, with the boats on the Ferries at Burntisland and Tayport, connects the County with the shires of Mid-Lothian, Perth, and Forfar ; the Dunfermline and Stirling connects the County of Fife with

Clackmannan and Stirlingshires ; the Fife and Kinross, and the Kinross-shire Railways, connect the County with Kinross-shire at the Ladybank and Cowdenbeath

Jimctions ; while the St Andrews, Leven, and East of Fife branch lines connect their several districts with the main line—the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee ; and when the East of Fife line is carried on to Anstruther, the whole will form a system of internal communication inferior to few counties in the Kingdom. SOCIAL AND INTELLECTUAL PROGRESS.

Diiring the last forty years no county has made gi-eater social and intellectual progress than has been attained by Fife ; and perhaps nothing gives that progress so much prominence as the magnitude attained by the Newspaper Press connected with the County. Previous to 1822, there was no Newspaper published in Fife, and the practice was to advertise county and other public meetings in an Edinburgh Newspaper, and a few hundreds would probably cover the sum total, of every Newspaper that found an entrance into the County. At present, Fife can boast of ten weekly Newspapers and Advertising sheets, besides three

with a fortnightly issue, having a total circulation of above 25,000 ; nor is this all, for the circulation of Edinburgh and other Newspapers not connected with the County is at present ten times more than it was when no native broad sheet existed. All this without taking into account the immense circiilation of periodicals and books of every shape and size, which forty years ago had no existence, exhibits an intellectual progress penetrating to all classes of our society, and exerts an educational influence unequalled in any country or in any age of the world. ABBOTSHALL. FIFESHIRE PARISH OF ABBOTSHALL.

The Parish of Abbotshall is situated on tlie southeni boundary of Fifeshire. It is bounded by the Firth of Forth, and by the Parishes of Kinghorn, Auchtertool, Auchterderran, Dysart, and Kirkcaldy. ' Its greatest length is nearly four miles, and its breadth two and a half. It has been said that the Parish derives its name from an Abbot of Dunfermline, who built a house near the Parish Church, and resided in it. The great majority of the inhabitants live in Linktown, which is a Burgh of Regality under Colonel Ferguson of Raith, and constitutes part of the Parliamentary Burgh of Kirkcaldy, and forms a continuation of the Lang Toun, which goes under the general designation of Kirkcaldy. The surface of the Parish is low and flat for more than half a mile from the Firth, it then rises in gentle swells for upwards of two miles, and then descends to the northern boundary of the

Parish ; the soil is various, but on the whole good. The small streams, the Tiel, and Camilla, and a tributary of the Oit, form the chief drainage of the Parish. Raith Loch, situated in the Raith pleasure grounds, is an artificial and highly picturesque sheet of water, about a mile long, and in some parts nearly a quarter of a mile broad. Raith House is a splendid mansion, with two wings and a fine Ionic Portico. There is a square Tower 400 feet above the level of the sea, on the summit of the hill on which the mansion stands, which commands a fine panoramic view of the district. The house of Bogie is an elegant modern mansion, in the form of a castle. The chief antiquity in the Parish is the ruin of the Castle of Balwearie, the ancient seat of the family of the famous Sir Michael Scott, who, on account of his great learning, was by the vulgar considered a wizard, and to be in compact

with his Satanic Majesty ; the remains, which show the building to have been a place of great strength, with walls 6^ feet thick, are situated about two miles from ' Kirkcaldy, in the fertile strath through which the Tiel winds its zig-zag way to the sea, at the west bridge. The small village of Chapel is also situated in Abbotshall. The Parish shares fully in the trade and manufactures of Kirkcaldy. In the Link- town there is a gas work, a pottery, a brick and tile work, some hundreds of hand looms, a sail canvas manufactory, a linen bleachfield, dye works, spinning mills, and a number of com mills. The Parish is in the Presbytery of Kirkcaldy and Synod of Fife. Besides the Parish Church there are the Free Churches of Abbotshall and Invertiel, a United Presbyterian Church, and several Non-Parochial Schools in the Parish. The Parish is traversed by the Edinburgh, Perth and Dundee Railway.

PARISH OF ABDIE.

The Parish op Abdie, which contains a suburb of the post-town of Newburgh, (Mount Pleasant) is situated on the north-west comer of the County among the Ochil hills. It is bounded on the west by the parishes of Newburgh and Abemethy, on the north by the Firth of Tay, and on the east and south by the parishes of FUsk, Dunbog, Monimail, Collessie, and Auchtermuchty. Two portions of it are separated form the main body by the intervention of the parishes of Newburgh and Dunbog. The whole, if compact, might form an area of about six miles by four. The surface is a varied succession of hill and dale, containing about 8000 acres, three-fourths of which are under cultivation, and the remainder consists of wood and coarse waste pasture, extensively covered with heath and furze : the best land is rich alluvium along the Tay. The highest ground is Norman's Law, "the hill of the northern man," situated in the eastern isolated portion, rising to the height of 850 feet above the level of the sea, and commanding a fine view of the vale of Eden, the Firth of Tay, and the Carse of Gowrie. The Loch of Lindores, near the centre of the Parish, is a beautiful sheet of water, nearly a mUe in length, covering about seventy acres, and fed by a small stream called Priest's Burn, which never freezes, and never dries up, and discharges its waters by a rivulet of about two miles in length, into the Tay, a short way below Newburgh. The Lake abounds in pike, perch, eels, and aquatic fowls ; and the stream which flows from it drives several valuable Mills—saw-mill, bone-mill, and corn mills. The most remarkable mansion is Inchrye House, a Gothic structure, with turrets and battlements, situated a little to the east of the Loch of Lindores, and figuring conspicuously in some of the finest views of the Parish. The house of Lindores is also a picturesque object. The village of Lindores, near the foot of the Loch, is a place of great antiquity, and it contains some vestiges of a castle, which is said to have belonged to M'Duff, the first Thane of Fife. Balfour relates that, in the vicinity of this castle, a battle was fought between the Scots under Wallace, and the English, in June, 1300, in which the latter sustained a loss of 3000 killed, and 500 prisoners ; and Blind Harry states that, after the battle, Wallace and his companions retired to the castle. There is also a village called Grange of Lindores. Mount Pleasant, the suburb of

Newburgh, has almost been wholly built since 1831 ; its inhabitants are chiefly weavers, engaged in the linen manufacture. In the rest of the Parish the inhabitants are either employed in agricultural pursuits, or tradesmen who are employed by those engaged in agriculture. The Parish is traversed for a short way by the Perth fork of the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee Railway, and enjoys ready access to communication by that railway, and by the Tay steam boats. There is a station for coal, lime, &c. , at Glenbumie, and the railway station for Newburgh is also in the parish. The Parish Church is a plain building, with a pillared belfry, overlooking the

Loch at Lindores ; there is also a Free Church for Abdie and Newburgh. In addition to the Parish School, there are Private Schools at Mount Pleasant and Lindores. POST TOWN, Newburgh, with a Sub-Oflice at Lindores, Thomas Gairns, Sub- Post Master. —A runner leaves Newburgh about 9 a.m. for Dunbog, and delivers on the way at the villages of Glenbumie, Grange, and Lindores. The runner leaves

Dunbog at 1 p. M. , and delivers and receives on his way back to Newburgh. DIRECTORY. ABDIE AND ABERCROMBIE.

The Parish of Aberckombie or St Monance is situated on the south-eastern border of the County. It is bounded on the south by the Firth of Forth, on the east by the parish of Pittenweem, on the north by the parish of Canibee, and on the west by the parishes of Elie and Kilconquhar. It measures a mile along the coast, and about a mile and a half from north to south. Its surface makes a rather B 10 ABERCROMBIE. FIFESHIRE abrupt ascent from the low and rocky beach, and then it has some diversities, but on the whole is flat. The soil is chiefly a friable fertile loam, and nearly all the land is arable and cultivated. The small stream, Inweaiy, flows on the western boundary to the sea, and the Dreel bum runs eastward on the boundary with Carnbee. The fishing village of St Monance, where 1;he greater part of the parishioners reside, is situated nearly mid-way between Pittenweem and Elie ; it is a Burgh of Barony, under the laird of Newark, and is governed by its baron Bailies and

Council. There is a Sea Box Society connected with the village ; Savings' Banks, and other social and benevolent institutions. The villagers, who bear a high character for their general industry and provident habits, are chiefly employed in fishing, and great quantities of herring, cod, ling, haddock, &c., are caught during the year. The Harbour is partly natural, and enclosed by substantial piers ; its frequenters are a few trading sloops during the year, and the large fishing boats belonging to the place. The coast here is much exposed to gales of wind ; and sometimes the storm finds the harbour full of fishing boats, which are wildly tossed about, the o^wners jumping on board and doing what they can to keep their craft from dashing against each other. At present the fishermen are making efforts to get their harbour enlarged, and to extend it so that it may be entered at all hours of the tide ; such a consummation would be an immense boon to the Fishermen, for as yet there is no low water pier on the eastern coast, and when the boats are overtaken by a storm at ebb tide, the crews have to lie off shore until the tide makes, battling the gale at the imminent peril of their lives. The inhabitants of the landward part of the Parish are chiefly employed in agricultural pursuits. Previous to 1646, St Monance with its Church formed a barony in the adjoining parish of Kilconquhar, at which date it was annexed to the rural parish of Aber- crombie, under the joint title of Abercrombie and St Monance ; but of late years the old title of Abercrombie has been revived to designate the extended parish. The old Church of Abercrombie, situated in the landward pai-t of the Parish, is in

ruins, and has not been used as a place of worship for two centuries ; it is now used as the burial place of the Balcaskie family. The Church now in use is situated

at the west end of the village of St Monance, close upon the beach ; it is a Gothic edifice originally founded in the 14th century, and previous to its restoration in

1827 it presented a singularly antique appearance, both externally and internally ; it is now a handsome place of worship, seated for 528, and preserving as much of its ancient outline as was found consistent with modern ideas of comfort. The rviins of the bai'onial house of Newark stand a short distance west from the

church, on a precipitous ledge overtowering the sea ; in this old house used to reside the feudal superiors of the barony— the first of whom where the Sandilands, descended, says Sibbald, from the Lord Torphichen, one of whom, in 1648, was created Lord Abercrombie. The eastern wing still stands pretty entire, flanked at its northern corner by a round tower. It must have once been an extensive and strong building part of is still for the ploughmen on the ; the ruin used as a bothy fai-m.

The Parish of Aberdouk is situated on the south coast of the County, and over- looks a fine bend of the Firth of Forth. The word, " Aberdoor," is from the Gaelic, and signifies the mouth of the water Dour, a small rivulet which is here emptied into the Forth. The Parish comprehends about 3 miles of coast, with an average breadth of the same distance, and comprises an area of about 5000 acres. It joins Dalgetty and Dunfermline parishes on the west, Burntisland and Auchter- tool on the east, and Beath, Auchtertool, and Dunfermline on the north. The island of Inchcolm in the Firth of Forth, lying to the south two miles from land, and a small detached district called Kilrie Yetts, about four or five miles to the eastward, also belong to it. A ridge of hiUs runs through the main body of the Parish, in a direction nearly parallel to the coast. The tract to the north of this lies comparatively high, with a cold sour soil ; but the tract to the south is genial and generous, and exhibits a profusion of both natural and artificial beauty. The western part of the Parish rises gently into the interior, and is feathered and

flecked with wood ; the centre is indented by the sandy, wood-girt, finely sheltered

bay of Aberdour ; and the eastern part is steep and rugged, with shaggy sheets of wood down to the water's edge, and is traversed through its glades and across its braes by walks, which command most picturesque prospects of the Firth and its southern seaboard, and of the hills of Edinburgh and the Pentlands. The principal Land-owners are the Earl of Moray and the Earl of Morton, the residence of the latter being Aberdour House, which is the chief mansion in the Parish. At the embouchiire of the Dour into the Firth of Forth, there is a Harbour which admits vessels of 200 tons burden. Though not large, as many as twenty- five vessels of all sizes have been crowded into it at one time. The principal article of export is coal, of which 150,000 tons have been expoi-ted in one year by the Donibristle Coal Company. The imports are small, the chief article being manure for the farmers of the district. The village, which contains a Post-Office, lies a few hundred yards from the Coast, miles Biirntisland distinct and 3^ from ; properly speaking, it comprises three

villages, viz. , Easter, Wester, and Newto^wn of Aberdour, but they are all so contiguous as to wan-ant a common name being applied to them. Easter Aberdour is the original village. Wester Aberdour belonged to the Monastery of Inchcolm, and was made a Burgh of Barony, holding from the Abbot in 1500. Aberdour is not a parish where much business is carried on, though coarse cloth is manufactured

to a small extent ; red sandstone, coal, and lime, are wrought somewhat extensively, and there is a Saw Mill; but it is as a bathing resort for summer visitors that Aberdour is best known, many of them adapting their houses for the reception of lodgers during the season, and as it has daily commimication by steam with Edinbiu-gh, its shores are a favourite retreat to the inhabitants of the Scottish capital, who there seek relaxation and leisure during the heats of summer. POST-OFFICE, Aberdour, John Chisholm, Post Master.—Letters from all parts arrive (from Edinburgh) every morning at ten, and in the afternoon at half-past

six ; and are despatched every morning at six, and in the afternoon at two. Money Order Office open from nine till six in the evening. BAKERS. BLACKSMITHS. Ballantyne, Wm., High Street Bairdner, J., Crossroads, Balmule M'Culloch, John, do Cunningham, John, Easter Aberdour DIRECTORY. ABERDOUR. 13

The Parish of Anstruther Easter is situated in the south-eastern part of the County, and comprises merely the sea-port town of Anstruther Easter, having no landward district attached to it. It is bounded on the south by the Firth of Forth, on the west by Anstruther Wester, from which it is separated by the Dreel Burn, on the north by the landward part of the parish of Kilrenny, and on the east by the fishing town of Cellardyke, also part of Kilrenny parish. The shore is rugged and rocky, and a small bay, with a safe and commodious harbour, washes the town. Previous to 1634, Anstruther Easter formed part of the parish of Kilrenny, but in that year it was formed into a separate parish, and got a Church of its own. The Manse is a curious building, built in 1590, by James Melville, nephew of the celebrated Andrew Melville, then minister of Kilrenny. The Parish Church, built in 1634, has a Spire, and was repaired in 1834, and contains upwards of 600 sittings. There is also a Free Church, a United Presbyterian Church, an Inde- pendent, and a Baptist Chapel. The town of Anstruther Easter stands immediately between the towns of Anstruther Wester and Cellardyke, and the three appear as one narrow town, stretching along the shore. It was erected into a Royal Burgh by James VI., in 1583, and is governed under the recent Burgh Reform Act, by a provost, two bailies, a treasurer, and five councillors, and unites with St Andrews, Cupar, Crail, Kilrenny, Anstruther Wester, and Pittenweem, in returning one member to Parliament. From its contiguity to Cellardyke, Anstruther is one of the best fishing stations in Scotland, and fish-curing is the staple trade of the district, upwards of 50, 000 barrels of herrings being caught in 1860, all of which were either cured on the spot, or despatched by cart, rail, and steam-boat, to inland towns. A large quantity of

cod, ling, haddock, &c. , are also brought into the harbour during the season, and are either salted or despatched in a fresh state to inland districts. The number of fishing boats are not only twice the size, but they are trebled in number during

the last thirty years ; and the want of harbour accommodation, especially during the herring fishing, has been severely felt for a series of years. To remedy that evil, the burghs of Anstruther and Cellardyke have united their efforts to obtain, with Government assistance, a Union Harbour, at a cost estimated at about £35,000, and which, with the present harbour, will give a space of 13^ acres, and

will accommodate 500 fishing boats, and admit vessels of 500 tons at half-flood : there will be seven feet of water at the east quay, at the lowest spring tide. The trade, in addition to fish-curing, is chiefly of a domestic nature, but there is a considerable portion of business done in the export of grain, potatoes, &c. Several coasters belong to the port, and a steam-boat plies thi-ee times a week to Leith, conveying grain, fish, &c., and returning with merchants' goods. The 16 ANSTRTJTHER EASTER. FIFESHIRE nearest railway station is at Kilconquhar, between wliicli and Anstrnther coaches run four times a day, and measures are in progress to extend the East of Fife Line, on to the union harbour at Anstruther. A weekly com market is held on Saturday, but the annual fairs are now of no importance.

Anstruther Wester is a small Parish on the south-east coast, and contains a Royal Burgh of the same name. It has a very irregular form, and contains about 600 acres of arable land, and about 9 or 10 acres of common, on which the burgesses have the privilege of pasture and casting turf. It is bounded on the south by the Fh-th of Forth, along which it extends for about half a mile, on the east by Anstruther Easter, from which burgh it is separated by the Dreel Bum, on the ,

north by Carnbee and Kilrenny, and on the west by Pittenweem. The Parish Church appears, from the remains of a large choir, and the Gothic striictiu-e of the Steeple, to be a very ancient building, but it has often been repaired. There is no Dissenting Chapel or Subscription School in the Parish. The town of Anstruther Wester was erected into a Royal Burgh by James VI. in 1587, and managed their afi'airs by a Town Council, three bailies, and a

treasurer ;" but in 1852, in consequence of some illegal proceedings at an election of council, the Court of Session declared the Burgh disfranchised, and ajjpointed three managers to conduct the aifairs of the Burgh. The inhabitants of the landward part of the Parish are chiefly engaged in agriculture. The town is perhaps the smallest Royal Burgh in Scotland, and being only separated by a small burn from Anstruther Easter, and in reality forming, with that burgh, only one town, the emplo3rments of the population are similar to those of Anstruther Easter.

This Parish is situated in the several counties of Fife, Perth, and Kinross, at the north-west comer of Fife. The three counties meet at Damhead, that village being built upon a part of each at their junction. It is bounded by the parishes of Str'ath- miglo, Abernethy, Dron, Forgandenny, Forteviot, and OrweU. It has a somewhat circular form, and is about four miles in diameter. Lying among the Ochils its surface is hilly, with summits of from 600 to 800 feet above the sea. The soil though rocky is generally good, and the greater part of the land is in a state of cul- 20 ARNaASK AND AUCHTERDERRAN. FIFESHIRE tivation, the smaller portion being wood and pasture. There are only two places deserving the name of villages—Duncrivie and Damhead—but the former is in Kinross-shire, and little more than half of the latter is in Fife. The inhabitants are chiefly employed in rural labours, a small portion only being composed of the ordinary class of village tradesmen. The great north road from Queensferry to Perth runs through the Parish, and several stations of the Fife & Kinross Railway are situated at no great distance. The Parish Church, which was built in 1806, and enlarged in 1821, has about 380 sittings. There is also a Free Church at Damhead, in the Kinross-shire section of the Pai-ish. As in the case of Abernethy, our list only comprises the names and addresses of parties residing in the Fife division of the Parish. POST OFFICE, Kinross; Sub-Post-OfiSce, Damhead, Andrew Thomson, Sui- Post Master. —A letter carrier leaves Kinross every forenoon, Sundays excepted, about ten o'clock, delivering letters on the route by the old road to Damhead, and reaching that village about half-past twelve p. m.

The Parish op Auchterderran is situated in the western part of the County. It is bounded by Beath and BaUingry on the west, AbbotshaU and Auchtertool on the south and south-east, Dysart on the east, and Kinglassie and Portmoak on the north. It has an irregular outline, and is about five miles long from north to south, and about three miles broad. It comprises part of a valley screened on the south- east and west by rising grounds, which are of sufficient elevation to exclude the view of the Firth of Forth, although they are cultivated to the top. The water of Orr

flows from west to east ; it is a slow running stream, rising in the north-west corner of the County, flowing through Loch Petty, and falls into the Leven about three miles from the sea. On the southern border of the Parish is a sheet of water called Lochgelly, which discharges its waters by a small rivulet into the Orr. About three-fourths of the land is under cultivation, and the remainder is in pasture and wood. Though the soU is only moderately fertile, everything connected DIRECTORY. AUCHTERDERRAN. 21 with agriculture has made great progress during the last ten or twelve years. A considerable bed of coal and iron-stone traverses the Parish ; the former has long been celebrated for its fine qualities, and extensively wrought. The latter, which is of the black-band variety, has been wrought for a number of years, and there are four furnaces for smelting it at Lochgeliy Station ; but for some years, owing to a dulness in the iron trade, never more than one has been in operation, and sometimes ail the four have been blown out, which has caused business to be generally flat throughout the district. The Dunfermline branch of the E. P. & D. Railway runs through the northern part of the Parish, and there are stations both at Cardenden and Lochgeliy. The principal village in the Parish is Lochgeliy, in which more than half of the inhabitants reside. It is about equi-distant—eight miles—from Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy, Thornton, Leslie, and Kinross. The three parishes of Auchterderran, Beath, and Ballingry, meet at the west end of the village, a small portion of it being also in each of the two latter parishes. The population of Lochgeliy, Cardenden, Clunie, &c., are either engaged as miners, or are employed as shopkeepers and tradesmen, in supplying the wants of the mining population. In the other districts of the Parish the inhabitants are almost all employed in agricultural operations. The Parish Church is at the hamlet of Auchterderran, about two miles from Lochgeliy, and was built in 1789. At Lochgeliy there is a Chapel of Ease in connection with the Established Church, a Free Church, and a United Presbyterian Church. In the same village there are also a number of Roman Catholics who meet fortnightly in Littlejohn's Hall, public worshij) being conducted by the Rev. John Stuart, Dunfermline. A small number of Mormons also worship in the same place. POST TOWN, Lochgeliy, James Bethune, Post Master. —Mails from Dunfermline and the west arrive at about half-past seven a. m. , and four p. m.

The Parish of Auchtermuchtt, containing the Burgh of Auchtermuchty and the village of Duhshalt, is situated in the north-west of the County, and stretches from among the Ochils, southward into the Howe of Fife. It measiu-es two and a half miles from east to west, and abowt two from north to south. It is bounded on the 24 AUCHTERMUCHTY. FIFESHIRE north by the parish of Abemethy, on the east by Collessie, on the south by the Eden, which separates it from Falkland and Strathmiglo, and on the west by Strathmiglo and Abemethy. From its northern limits where it rises to a considerable elevation on the Ochils, the face of the country slopes gently to the Eden. The soil is fertile and well-cultivated ;,and a portion of the south-eastern district is deep rich alluvium, being part of a plain which, formerly, was much flooded in winter, but which is now well drained, and carries as good crops as any land in the County. The only considerable mansion is Myres Castle, between Auchtermuchty and Dxinshalt. The roads from Newburgh to Kirkcaldy, and that from Cupar to

Kinross, intersect each other at the town of Auchtermuchty ; and the Fife and Kinross Railway runs through the Parish, and there is a station near to the town of Auchtermuchty. The Parochial ChTirch was built in 1780, and enlarged in 1838, and contains 900 sittings ; there is also a Free Church, three United Presbyterian Churches, and a Baptist Chapel, all in the town of Auchtermuchty. The School accommodation is very complete, and comprises a commodious Parish School, recently erected by the heritors ; a Free Church School ; a Female School erected a few years ago, and conducted on the Madras systenj by a lady ; besides two Independent Schools, one in Auchtermuchty, and the other in Dunshalt. The town of Auchtermuchty stands about a mile north from the Eden, 5 miles south from— Newburgh, and about mid-way between Cupar and Kinross. A small stream "the Lovers' Pool"—flows through it from Lochmill Mill in Abdie parish, and joins the Eden a little below Dunshalt. It is an irregularly built town, consisting of three principal Streets and a number of Lanes. It was erected into a Royal Burgh in 1517, but has not exercised the privilege of sending a Member to Parliament for a considerable time before the Union. The Burgh became bankrupt in 1816, and the whole of its property, except the Town-house, Jail, Steeple, Bell, and Customs, was sequestrated in 1822, and sold under authority of the Court of Session, in a process of ranking and sale. The affairs of the Burgh are managed by a provost, two bailies, nine councillors, a treasurer, and a town-clerk. A Justice of Peace Court is held on the first Wednesday of every month, and a Sheriff Small Debt Court, for the parishes of Auchtermuchty, Collessie, Falkland, and Strathmiglo, is held on the second Wednesday of February, May, August, and November. A weekly corn market is held on Monday, and fairs are held on the 25th of March, old style, on the 13th of July, on the 21st of August, and on the Wednesday in November before All Hallow Fair.

This is a small inland Parish, in the south-western part of the County. It is bounded by the parishes of Ballingry and Auchterderran on the north, by Abbotshall on the east, Kinghorn and Aberdour on the south, and Aberdour aiid Beath on the west. Its greatest length from east to west is about seven miles, and its average breadth one and a third miles. A range of hills called CuUaloe Hills stands across its west, and has an altitude of about 750 feet above sea level. The rest of the Parish is undulating, hill and dale succeeding each other in most iiTegular order. There is a small lake a little to the north-east of the village of Auchtertool, called Camilla or Aiichtertool Loch, in which the Tiel burn takes its rise. The only villages are Auchtertool and Newbigging, but the latter may more properly be termed a hamlet than a village. Coal is wrought at Little Raith, and limestone, whinstone, and sandstone, are quarried, but the latter is of poor quality.

Ballingry, popularly termed Bingry, is an upland Parish in the south-west of the County, three miles in length, by about one and a half in breadth. It is bounded on the north by Portmoak, by Auchterderran and Kinglassie on the east and south. DIMCTOIiy. BALLINGUY AND BALMERINO. 29 and by Beath and Cleish on the west. About one half of the Parish is tinder tillage, and the other half in wood and pasture. Coal and iron-stone are extensively wrought, and there is a furnace for smelting the latter at Lumphinnans. The inhabitants are chiefly engaged as miners or in agricultural labours. With the exception of the houses for the miners at Lumphinnans and the small corner of the village of Lochgelly which is in the Parish, Ballingry can boast of nothing of the natu.re of a village. There was formerly a considerable Loch in the Parish, called Loch Orr, from which the small stream Orr issues, but it is now all drained and in a state of cultivation. Toward the eastern extremity of the site of this Loch was a small island, upon which stands the remains of an ancient castle, supposed to have been founded in the reign of Malcolm IIL A little to the eastward of Lochore House were once the vestiges of a Roman Camp, now levelled and effaced. Some have conjectured that this was the spot where the 9th Legion was attacked and nearly cut off by the Caledonians. The only hill in the Parish is Benarty, on the north border, richly adorned with plantations. In addition to the Parish Church, which with the Manse is situated in the north of the Parish, Lochgelly Fiee Church and Manse are also in Ballingry. The Dunfermline branch of tlie Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee Railway, runs through the southern section of the Parish, and the stations at Lochgelly and Car- denden are in the immediate vicinity.

The Parish of Balmerino, popularly termed Bamirnie, is in the north of the County. It is bounded by the Firth of Tay on the north, by the parish of Forgan on the east, by Kilmany on the south, and by Creich and Flisk on the west. Its BALMERINO. PIFESHIRE mediuin length from east to west is about three and a half miles, and its greatest breadth about two and a quarter miles. Two hilly ridges, spurs of the Ochils, traverse it from east to west, the highest point being Coultra Hill, exceeding 500 feet in height, and wooded to the top. Along the Tay the shore is bold and rocky.

There are four villages in the parish, vif , Gauldry in the south-east, Coultra towards . the west, Balmerino on the coast, and Kirkton a little inland. Balmerino is a nice little village, and a creek of the port of Dundee, with which it communicates by packet once a week. There are several stations for salmon fishing on the Tay, but the quantity caught is now much less than formerly. The parishioners are either engaged in the weaving of the coarser descriptions of linen goods, salmon fishing during the season, or in agricultural pursuits. The greater part of the land is in a high state of cultivation. of II. The lands of Balmerino were bought by Queen Emergarde, mother Alexander , in the thirteenth century, who founded an Abbey at Balmerino, and dying in 1233, was buried before the high altar. After the Reformation the lands belonging to the Abbey were erected into a temporal lordship, in favour of Sir James Elphinston, in whose family they continued until the forfeiture and execution of his descendant, Arthur, the 6th lord Balmerino, in 1746. The remains of the Abbey are now of trifling extent. An arcade of pointed arches supported on short thick pillars, and two vaulted apartments still remain, but the Chapel has entirely disappeared. A little to the east of the Abbey are the ruins of the ancient Castle of Naughton, siir- mounting an isolated mass of rock. There is a battle-field in the neighbourhood of Naughton, called Battle Law, where the Danes in their flight from the battle of Luncarty, made a vigorous stand against the Scots and Picts, under Kenneth III., but were again put to flight with severe loss, and compelled to take refuge in their ships at the mouth of the Tay. The Parish Church is at Bottomcraig, and was built in 1811. The Free Church has a Station at Gauldry, the Minister of Logie preaching there every Sabbath afternoon. The Parish School is at Gauldiy, and there is a Female School at Kirkton, in connection with the Established Church.

There is no Post-Office in the Parish. A walking postman starts from Coultra every lawful day at six o'clock morning, for Newport Post-Office, calling on his way at Balmerino, Kirkton, Bottomcraig, Naughton, and Gauldry, where he collects letters, &c. He leaves Newport about mid-day, and delivers in the afternoon along the same route. BLACKSMITHS. DRESSMAKERS.

Beath is an inland Parish in the western division of the County. It is bounded on the north by the parish of Cleish, by Ballingry and Auchterderran on the east, by Auohtertool on the south-west, by Aberdour and Dalgetty on the south, and by Dunfermline on the west. It is about four miles in length, by about three in breadth. The surface is hilly and rugged, though not mountainous. The highest ground is the beautiful hill of Beath, which commands a fine and extensive prospect. A shallow and tame lake, called Loch Fitty, lies on the western boundary, and sends eastward through the centre of the Parish, a principal tributary of the Orr. The Kelty, a head water of that stream, flows along part of the northern border. A considerable amount of coal is raised in the Parish, four collieries being in active operation ; and the Forth Iron Co. work a bed of black-band iron-stone at Cowdenbeath, and have furnaces for smelting it at Oakley. There are four villages in the Parish—Cowdenbeath, Oakfield, Cantsdam, and Kelty. The greater portion of the population are engaged as miners, some in agricultural pursuits, and the remainder as village tradesmen and shopkeepers. Though there is some good land in the Parish there is a considerable extent of inferior soil, and more than half is in pasture. The great north road and the Kinross-shire Railway traverse the Parish north ward and the Dunfermline branch of the E. P. & D. Railway traverses it eastward, and there is a station at Cowdenbeath. The Postal Arrangements of the Parish are in connection with the Post Offices at Kinross and Lochgelly, with Sub-Offices at Cowdenbeath and Blairadam. A walking postman leaves the Sub-Office at Blairadam about eleven a. m. , and delivers letters on his route through Kelty, Cantsdam, &c. Another leaves Lochgelly for Cowden- beath on the arrival of the Mails from the east, about 8.30 a.m., and 5 p.m. S2 BEATH. FIFESHIRB

This Parish, containing a town of its own name, is situated on the south-west coast of the County. It lies opposite Granton, and is bounded on the south by the Firth of Forth, by Aberdour on the west, and by Kinghorn on the east and north. Formerly this Parish was called Western Kinghorn, but eventually it took the name of the town, which was anciently called Bertland or Bertiland, the modern name, Burntisland, being a corruption. It is two and a half miles long from north to south, by about two and a quarter in breadth. A plain extends inwards from the sea for about half a mile, when the ground becomes hilly and the soil of an inferior quality. The shore is rocky to the west and sandy to the east of the town. To the north the hills exhibit marks of volcanic action, Duneam, which rises to the height of about 700 feet, being like an extinct volcano, the crater of which has been converted into a small lake. On the north side of the hills are basaltic cohunns, and on their tops are cairns and tumuli of great size. There is a quarry of excellent freestone, and a great extent of the Parish abounds in limestone of the finest quality. Starlybum, on the west boundary, produces stalactites and incrustations of moss and wood, and falls over a high rock into the sea, amid luxuriant foliage, forming a fine cascade. Rossend Castle, on an eminence at the west end of the town, was built in the fifteenth century, and was long a military stronghold ; and though much altered by modern additions, still forms a striking featiire in the rich scenery of the district. The ruins of the original Parish Church, bearing marks of great antiquity, stand at the village of Kirkton, at a small distance from the town, and around them there is a small burying-ground. There is a very extensive distillery at Grange, about half a mile north of the town. The town of Burntisland is a sea-port and a Royal Bui-gh, governed by twelve councillors, including a provost, two bailies, a treasurer, and a dean of guild, and unites with Kinghorn, Kirkcaldy, and Dysart, in returning a member to Parliament. It stands at the Fifeshire terminus of the E. P. & D. Railway, four and a half miles north from Granton. It is screened by hills in the form of an amphitheatre, which shelter the harbour from the north and east winds. The town consists of two streets running parallel to each other, with some lanes running of the main streets. The chief street is the High Street, which is broad and spacious ; and there are a number of handsome cottages for summer visitors toward the east. The town was fortified during the reign of Charles I., and was beseiged by Cromwell during the Commonwealth, the inhabitants being zealous Covenanters, and only surrendereil to him on the condition that he should repair their streets and harbour, which condition he honourably fulfilled. Part of the old wall and east port still remain. The harbour is reckoned the best in the Forth, being both capacioiTS and of great depth of water. It has also a dry dock, and a light-house stands at the entrance to the haven. It has acquired an increased importance of late years, from its being made the terminiis of the Railway, which has greatly extended the trade of the harbour, especially in the export of coal and pig-iron, E BURNTISLAND. FIPESHIRE and the shipping business is still steadily increasing. Upwards of twenty years ago, the late Sir John Gladstone, of Fasque, erected a substantial and commodious low-water pier, making Burntisland the principal Ferry station between Fife and Mid-Lothian. The pier with the right of ferry was sold to the Railway Company on their obtaining their Act of Parliameirt, and has been worked by them, in connection with the Railway, ever since. A breakwater has lately been erected, which protects the harbour and pier from the west and south-west winds, the only winds to which the harbour is exposed. From the excellent position of Burntisland as a sea-port town secure from the north and east winds, its excellent bathing ground, and its contiguity to Edinbiu-gh, it has become a fashionable summer residence, and to that, next to the opening of the Railway, its present prosperity is due. For the piu^pose of accommodating strangers, many of the inhabitants have built and furnished suitable houses, which they let out during the season to summer visitors, and our Directory comprises a list of those that do so ; but we would recommend strangers in quest of lodgings to consult Mr Alex. Blaikie, Wine Merchant & Grocer, Waverly Buildings, who can at all times supply information as to parties whose apartments may be still unlet, and the nature of the accommodation each is able to furnish. The Parish Church, which was erected about the end of the sixteenth century, is a commodious and venerable edifice, overlooking the sea. There is also a United Presbyterian Church, a Free Church, and an Episcopalian Church. In addition to the Burgh School, which is also the Parish School, there is a Free Church, an Episcopalian, and several Private Schools. A number of the inhabitants of the town are employed at the engineering works connected with the RailM'ay, and on the locomotives and ferry-boats, and other duties connected with the harbour. The fish-curing establishments also employ a number of hands, and the remainder pursue the occupations of shopkeepers and tradesmen. In the country, the lime quarries at Newbigging, the distillery at the Grange, and agricultural pursuits, furnish the chief employments.

This Pakish is situated in the east part of the County, and contains the villages of Lathones, Peat Inn, Rademie, and part of Denhead, the other part being in St Andrews parish. It approaches within little more than a mile of St Andrews, of which it at one time formed a part, but was at an early period disjoined and erected into a separate parish. It is bounded by St Andrews on the north, by Denino on the east, by Cambee and Kilconquhar on the south, and by Ceres on the west. Its length eastward is from iive to six miles, and its breadth about four miles. The sm-face is undulating, and has a general declination to the east, but is drained only by small burns, most of which have their rise within itself. The only hill is Dnuncan-o Craig, a rugged mass of whinstone, situated in the north-west. About three-fo\irths of the land is under cultivation, and the remainder in pasture and A

Although a great portion of the Parish is upland, and lying in what is often termed the Moors of Fife, agricultxu-e has made much progress diiring the last twenty-five years ; and though the crops are generally late, they will in early seasons hear comparison with those in more favoured localities. There is a bed of superior black-bajjd iron-stone at Winthank, which has been wrought by a Newcastle Company for a number of years, the black-band being burnt to char at the pit mouth, and then shipped for Newcastle, either at St Andrews or Guardbridge. Coal has long been wrought in the Parish, though at present in much smaller quantities than formerly ; but the Collieries of Ladeddie, Cassingray, and Largoward, are closely adjoining, and there is excellent lime in several localities. The Parish Church, Manse, School, and School-House, are situated at Cameron, near the centre of the Parish, about three and a half miles from St Andrews. There is also a U. P. Church at Lathones, and Private Schools at Radernie and Denhead. The inhabitants are chiefly employed in mining and agricultural operations, with the usual sprinkling of tradesmen in the several villages.

The POST OFFICE for the eastern section of the Parish is St Andrews, with

Sub-Offices at Lathones and Denhead ; William Forgan, Smh-Post Master, Lathones, and George H. Dewar, Denhead. —A walking postman leaves St Andrews shortly after the arrival of the morning mails, delivering and collecting letters along his route by Lathones to Largoward Toll, and returning during the afternoon. Another leaves at the same hour, delivering and collecting along his route by

Mount Melville, Winthank, Denhead, &c. , and returning along the same road in the evening. The Post Office for the south-western section of the Parish is Cupar-Fife, with a Sub-Office at Peat Inn, David Wallace, Sab-Post Master. — walking postman leaves Cupar shortly after the arrival of the morning mails, delivering and collecting letters along the road by Pitscottie and Baldinnie to Peat Inn, and retui-ning by the same route in time for the despatch of letters by the afternoon mails.

Carnbee is in the south-east of the County. It is entirely inland, though reaching to within a mile and a half of the Firth of Forth. It contains the village of Arncroach, with the hamlets of Carnbee and Newton of Balcormie. It is bounded by the parish of Cameron on the north, Denino, Crail, and Kilrenny, on the east, Anstruther Wester, Pittenweem, and Abercrombie, on the south, and by Kilcon- quhar on the west. Its length and breadth are each about four miles. A ridge of hills runs east and west through the centre of it, and rises in several places into fine green hills, the highest of which is Kellie Law, with an altitude of above 800 feet above sea level. To the south of these hills, the ground descends with a gentle declivity, and is rich and fertile. On the north the land is of a moorland character, and more adapted for pasture, though in warm seasons fine crops are produced. Kellie Castle, formerly the seat of the Earls of Kellie, and now belonging to the Earl of Mar, stands in this Parish to the south of Kellie Law, and occupies a ,

Anstruther, a fine old building, is on the south border, and the mansion- houses of Gibliston and Pitcorthie are in the south-west of the Parish. There is excellent limestone, freestone, and coal, and the working of the latter is at present in active operation at Newton i)f Balcormie and Cassingray. The Parish Church and School are at the hamlet of Carnbee, and there is a Free Church, a Free Church School, and a Female School, at Arncroach. With the exception of a few country tradesmen and millwrights, the inhabitants are almost all employed in rural labours or at the Collieries.

The chief POST OFFICE for the Parish is Pittenweem, with Sub-Offices at Carnbee and Arncroach. —A walking postman leaves Pittenweem shortly after the arrival of the morning mails, delivering letters along the route by Grangemuir, Ovenstone, Carnbee, and Arncroach, and returns in the evening, collecting letters by the way. Letters for the western section of the Parish, the Pitcorthies, &c.

are addressed by Colinsburgh ; and for the north-west section, the Cassingrays, and Lingo, by St Andrews and Lathones. See Pittenweem, Kilconquhar, and Cameron.

PARISH OF CARNOCK.

This Pakish is situated in the south-west of the County, to the west of Dunferm- line and north of Torryburn, both of which parishes separate it from the Firth of Forth. It is bounded by Saline on the north, by Dunfermline on the east, by Torryburn on the south, and by the Culross district of Perthshire on the west. Its length and breadth are each about three miles. Like other parts of the County in this quarter, the ground is swelling and hilly, but very fertile, and in a high state of cultivation. The rivulets of Carnock and Pitdinnies have their banks covered with plantations of fir, larch, and ash, and present very pleasing scenery in several parts. There are four villages in the Parish, —Gowkhall, two and a half miles west of Dunfermline, by the Stirling road, Carnock, a mile west of Gowkhall, Oakley, about a mile west of Carnock, and Cairneyhill, about three miles from Dunfermline, on the

Alloa road. The principal mansion-houses are Carnock and Luscar ; Newbigging, which at one time was a place of note, is now only a farm house.

The Parish is supplied with good roads ; the turnpikes from Dunfermline to Alloa pass through the south section, and the road from Dunfermline to Stirling, and the Stirling k Dunfermline Railway, pass through the northern part of the Parish. The village of Oakley, at which there is a railway station, has sprung up within the

last fifteen years ; and, chiefly owing to the Forth Iron Works there, the Stirling & Dunfermline Railway was made to pass contiguous, and at the present time these works yield the principal source of traffic for the line. The ore and fuel are raised at the works, and there are seven blast furnaces for the operation of smelting, but there have never been above six in blast at one time. A large number of the inhabitants of the Parish are employed as miners, or fn labours connected with the Iron works at Oakley, and a considerable number are employed in agricultural operations. There are a number of weavers at Cairney- hill, but, owing to the establishment of machinery in the larger towns, and the con- sequent decline of hand-loom weaving, their numbers are decreasing. The old Parish Church at Carnock was repaired in 1602, but is now in ruins, being roofless and overgrown with ivy. It was a small building, with only 240 sittings, but is interesting as the Church in which Row, the historian, ministered, and where, at an after day, Mr Gillespie laboured, whose deposition was the origin of the Relief Church, he being deposed by the General Assembly for refusing to preside at the ordination of a minister at Inverkeithing, who was obnoxious to the people. A new Parish Church with an elegant spire was built in 1840, and contains 400 sittings. There is also a Free Church at Carnock, and a U. P. Church at Cairneyhill. In addition to the Parish School, which is at Carnock, there is a Subscription School at Cairneyhill. and the Forth Iron Co. have erected a handsome Academy at Oakley, F 42 CARNOCE. FIFESHIUE for tlie cMldren of the people connected mtli their works, which is conducted by a very efficient staif of teachers, male and female.

The POST TOWN is Dunfermline, with Sub-Offices at Camock, Cairneyhill, and Oakley, James Pye, Angus Hodge, and Donald Mathewson, Sub-Post Masters. — A walking postman leaves Dunfemiliae about half-past ten a.m., and delivers letters along the road by Gowkhall, Carnock, Oakley, &c., returning along the same road in the afternoon. Another leaves Dunfermline at the same hour by the Alloa road, delivering letters atCrossford, Cairneyhill, &c., and leaves Cairney- hill on his return about 3 p.m.

Cekes )s an inland Parish, containing, in addition to the village of its own name, those of Craigrothie, Chance Inn, Baldinnie, and Pitscottie. Bridgend is often treated as a separate village, but as it is purely a continuation of that of Ceres, and only separated from it by Ceres Burn, the two strictly form only one village. It is bounded on the north by Cupar, on the east by Kemback, St Andrews, and Cameron, on the south by Largo and Scoonie, and on the west by Kettle and Cults. Its length north-eastward is from seven to eight miles, and its breadth from a half to four miles. The river Eden skirts it for a mile and a half, dividing it from Cupar, on the north-west. Several streamlets run into the interior, from the west, the south, and the east, and uniting a little above the village of Ceres, form Ceres Burn, which runs through the village, winds eastward to Pitscottie, there enters the beautiful den of Dura, and falls into the Eden a little above Dairsie Castle. The surface of the Parish is pleasingly diversified by hiU and dale. The cultivated portion of the land, which amounts to fully one half, is highly fertile, and in many places canies luxviriant crops. The remainder is chiefly in pasture, with a small portion in wood. There is plenty of limestone in the Parish, which is ex-' tensively worked, and coal, which is found in many places, is wrought at Ladeddie. The chief mansion-houses are Teasses and Bdenwood. The latter was long the residence of the late Sir George Campbell, brother to the present Lord Chancellor of England. The ruins of Craighall, built by the celebrated Scotch Lawyer, Sir Thomas Hope, stand on the ridge of a craig overlooking a ravine, about a mile to the south-east of the village of Ceres. On the south-west are the ruins of Struthers House, once the favourite residence of the fandly of the Lindsays, when royalty kept court at Falkland Palace, but now belonging to the Earl of Glasgow. To the north-west of Craigrothie, on a height commanding at a glance the valleys of the Eden and Ceres, stands Scots Tarvit House or Tower, 24 feet square and 50 feet high, with very thick walls and small windows. This tower was once the family residence of the Scots of Scots Tarvit, and in it, upwards of two centuries ago, Sir John Scott -rnrote that remarkable little book, "The Staggering State of Scots Statesmen." Lindsay of Pitscottie, who, three centuries ago, wrote a History of Scotland, was also a native of this Parish. The site of the "old narrow house" covered with thatch, in which the old chronicler lived, is now occupied by the modem farm house of Pitscottie.. 44 CERES. FIPESHIRE

The village of Ceres, wWcli is the principal one in the Parish, stands two and a half miles south from Cupar, on the road leading from Cupar to Largo. That road, and the road from St Andrews to Kennoway, traverse it in the form of a cross, the chief parts of the village forming streets alongside of these roads, with a few lanes running ofif at right angles. The Unen manufacture by hand-loom weaving has long been actively carried on here, and in the neighbouring village of Craigrothie, but it is at present in rather a declining state. Formerly there were two bleachfields for the bleaching of linen yarns, one of which was given up some years ago, but the other which is at St Ann's, a small distance south from Ceres, is still in active operation ; and there are spinning mills at Tarvit Mill and Pitscottie. Fairs for cattle are held on the last Tuesday of March, the 24th of June, and the 20th of

October ; but the March market is now reckoned of little importance. In the rural districts, many of the inhabitants are employed in agricultural labours, and in the lime quarries and coal-pits. In the villages, hand -loom weaving, the spinning mills, and the bleachfield, form the chief occupations ; the remainder are employed as village shopkeepers or tradesmen. The Parish Church, which has 1100 sittings, occupies a conspicuous site in the centre of the village ; its spire is about 100 feet high, being seen at a considerable distance. In the Churchyard, visitors are shown the burial vault, an humble looking tenement, of the noble family of Crawford Lindsay, in which are two coronetted cofiLns, with faded crimson and soiled mountings, containing the mortal remains of John Lindsay, 20th Earl of Crawford, and his Countess, a daughter of the Duke of Athol, both of whom died, the one a short time after the other, about 112 years ago. There is also a Free Church and two United Presbyterian Churches in Ceres, stj'led the East and the West. The latter was the earliest seceding congregation in the centre of Fife, a number of its members regularly attending Church, though living at a distance of from ten to fifteen miles. The Parish is well supplied with good Schools. The Parish School is an elegant and suitable structure, and, besides several Female Schools in Ceres, Subscription Schools have long been established in the villages of Craigrothie and Baldinnie. The nearest railway stations are Cupar and Springfield, both of which are about two miles from the village of Ceres, though the latter is near to the north-west boundary of the Parish. In addition to the roads already mentioned, the roads from Cupar to EUe, and from Cupar to Kirkcaldy, by Kennoway, pass through the Parish.

The POST TOWN is Cupar, with a Sub-Office at Ceres, Mr Charles Smith, Sub- Post Master. —A walking postman leaves Cupar for Ceres, about 9.15 a.m., and delivers letters in the villages of Ceres and Craigrothie. Letters are despatched from Ceres at 1.15 p.m., in time for the afternoon mails from Cupar. Letters for Pitscottie and Baldinnie are delivered by the letter carrier from Cupar to Peat Inn.

This Parish is in the north-west of the County, and contains the villages of CoUessie, Giflfordtown, Edenstown, Monkstown, and Ladybank, but the two latter are 80 contiguous as to form only one village. Ladybank, which is the largest village in the Parish, chiefly owes its growth and importance to its being at the junction of the two forks of the E. P. & D. Railway, and of the Fife and Kinross Railway. The Parish is bounded on the north by Abdie, on the east by Monimail and C\ipar, on the south by Kettle and Cults, and on the west by Auchtennuchty. Its western boundary is near the town of Auchtennuchty. Its greatest length south-westward is eight miles, and its greatest breadth five miles. Its southern division is very flat, various in soil, and entirely free from stones, great or small. The northern and north-western divisions slope up to a spur of the Ochils, and, having a fine southern exposure, and a good deep soil upon a whinstone bottom, axe in a high state of cultivation, and very fertile. The central and south-eastern divisions are in general light and sandy, and to some extent covered with fir plantations, having been found unsuitable for cultivation. About 120 years ago, Rossie Loch, a sheet of water covering upwards of 300 acres, was drained, and its bed now forms excellent meadow land and pasture. The Eden runs for about three miles along the southern boundary. At that place and farther on in its course it gives its name to the Strath which forms its bason, and glides noiselessly along through "the Howe of Fife." Formerly its course was very winding, and in spring and autumn used to overflpw its hanks and work much damage ; but about 1787 it was deepened and directed into a straight course, BO as to do no injury to the adjacent property. Excellent whinstone is found in the Parish, and marl, both shell and clay, is abundant. The chief mansion-houses are Rankeillour MakgiB, Pitlair, Kinloch, and Rossie. The road from Cupar to Kinross traverses the Parish westward, and the Perth fork of the E. P. & D, Railway runs through it north-westward, with stations at Ladybank and Collessie. The village of Collessie is situated about six miles west from Cupar, three east from Auchtermuchty, and about two hundred yards to the north of the road which leads to these two places. It is a confused collection of thatched houses, and is a place of small importance. The Parish Church, which is built on a height at the east end of the village, is a fine modern building, surmounted by a Spire ; there ia also a Free Church at GrifTordtown. The Parish School, which is at Trafalgar, a short distance from Collessie village, was erected in 1847, and is a commodious and suitable building. There is another School in connection with the Established Church, at Ladybank, and there is a Free Church School at Giifordtown. A Female Industrial Department is connected with each school. The country population is mostly engaged in labours connected with agriculture, and the villagers, who are chiefly weavers, are supplied vdth work by the .linen manufacturers of Newburgh, Kettle, Freuchie, and Auchtermuchty. In addition to the usual sprinkling of tradesmen, a number at Ladybank are employed in duties connected with the railways.

The POST TOWN is Ladybank, James Crombie, Post Master, with a Sub-Office at CoUessie, James Dalgleish, Sub-Post Master.—A walking postman leaves the Post Ofiice about 8.45 a.m., and delivers letters along the route by Giflfordtown to

Collessie ; he leaves that village on his return at 2.10 p.m., and arrives at Ladybank in time for the afternoon despatch to the south at 3.15 p.m. -48 COLLESSia FIFESHIRE

The Parish of Cbail, containing the Burgh and sea-port town of its own name, is situated in the south-east angle of Fifeshire, commonly called "The East Neuk o' Fife." It is bounded on the north by Denino and Kingsbarns, on the east by the sea, on the south by the sea and Kilrenny, and on the west by Kilrenny and Carnbee. It is of a very irregular outline, varying in breadth from a quarter to two and a half miles, and stretching westward from Fife Ness to King's Muir, a length of six miles. The surface is in general flat, naked, and uninteresting. It rises abruptly at the coast to an elevation of from 20 to 80 feet, and then swells gently to the west, without a hill or slope, streamlet or village, to relieve the monotony of its aspect. The mansion-houses are Airdrie, Wormistone, and Kirkmay House. Balcomie Castle, which is situated about a mile to the north-east of the town, was at one time a place of great size and splendour, but is now reduced to one wing, which is inhabited by the tenant of the farm. Coal and limestone were at one time extensively wrought, but the former is now exhausted, and the latter is too deep to be worked with profit. Iron-stone however is found, and there is an abundance of excellent freestone in several localities. The soil varies from deep rich loam along the southern part of the Parish, to the poorer sorts of moorland at the King's Muir. Along the coast generally any kind of crop can be cidtivated, and the style of farming is first-class, but the land is peculiarly adapted for green crops, and immense quantities of potatoes are raised in favourable seasons. Formerly, the whole of the King's Muir was in a moorland, uncultivated state ; but during the last quarter of a century, a great portion of it has been brought under the dominion of the plough. The soil however is poor, and the crops often inferior. The Burgh of Crail stands two and a half miles south-west of Fife Ness, four miles north-east of Anstruther, and ten miles south-east by south from St Andrews. It was anciently called Caryle or Oarrail, and is mentioned as a place of some importance as early as the middle of the ninth century. It was erected into a Royal Burgh by Robert Bruce, in 1360, and its charter has been repeatedly confirmed by subsequent sovereigns. David I. had a Palace here, vestiges of which still remain, and he conferred special marks of his royal favour on the Burgh. By the recent Municipal Act, it is governed by nine councillors, including a provost, two bailies, and a treasurer, and unites with Cupar, St Andrews, Kilrenny, Anstruther Easter and Wester, and Pittenweem, in returning a Member to

Parliament. The town consists chiefly of two main streets with lanes running oflf at right angles. The principal street is broad and spacious, and contains some houses presenting all the marks of having seen better days. Indeed, like many of the smaller coast towns, Crail suffered severely both in trade and importance by the Union with England, but a considerable change for the better has taken place of late years.

The Parish Church is so old that some allege it to be that in which David I. worshipped when he resided in Crail. It was repaired in 1828, and is a fine specimen of pointed architecture. It consists of a central nave, with aisles divided by two G 60 CRAIL. FIFESHIRE rows of pillars, one on each side, and contains about 1000 sittings. John Knox, the Reformer, preached in it on Sunday, the 19th of May, 1559, and next day marched to St Andrews with a multitude at his heels, to destroy the monuments of idolatry there. The notorious Archbishop Sharp was minister of Crail previous to his desertion of Preabyterianism, and his assumption of the mitre. In addition to the Parish Church, there is also a Free and a United Presbyterian Church. The Schools are— the Parish School, a Burgh School under the management of the magistrates, and several Female Schools ; there is also a Subscription School at King's Muir. For a number of years subsequent to the Disruption, there was also a Free Church School in Crail, but it has been closed since 1860. In the country, the inhabitants are almost entirely employed in agricultural operations, and in the town, as small tradesmen or shopkeepers. A number are connected with the sea, either as sailors or fishermen, about twenty yawls being employed during the season in the crab and lobster fishing. One distinguishing feature of the place is the great number of small shopkeepers and tradesmen, all eagerly intent in pushing the business or businesses in which they are more or

less engaged ; and we know of no town of the same size, or so limited in extent of population, where businesses of all sorts are so much sub-divided This circumstance so far accounts for the copiousness of our Directory for this Parish. The harbour is not large, but safe, and quite adequate to the trade of the district. About twelve small sailing vessels belong to the port, of about the aggregate burden of 1200 tons. The imports consist chiefly of coal, and the exports of grain and potatoes, and during some seasons great quantities of the latter are shipped for London and other large sea-port towns.

The POST TOWN is Crail, James Key, Post Master.— The mails from Kilcon- conquhar and the west arrive about 11.30 a.m., and are despatched at 12.45 p.m. The mails from St Andrews and the north arrive about 12 noon, and are despatched at 6.45 P.M.

PARISH F CREICH.

Cbeioh is a small Parish in the north of the County, containing the villages of Luthrie and Brunton. It reaches to within less than a mile of the Firth of Tay. It is bounded on the north by the parish of Flisk, on the east by Balmerino and Kilmany, on the south by Moonzie and Monimail, and on the west by Abdie and Dunbog. Its length northward is about three miles, and its breadth about two miles. The surface is a congeries of hills of various forms and sizes, none higher than about 550 feet above sea level, some being cultivated to the summit, others covered with wood, and others rocky or moorish. Two of the summits. Black Craig and Green Craig, command superb views of the bason of the Tay, away to the Sidlaws and the Grampians. The Parish is drained by the head streams of the Motray, a tributary of the Eden. Whinstone and graystone are quamed. The estate and castle of Creich, the ruins of which stand on the north end of the Parish, anciently belonged to the Bethunes, of which family was Janet Bethune, the Lady Buccleuch celebrated in the "Lay of the Last Minstrel," and Mary Bethune, one of "the Queen's Four Marys." The Rev. Alexander Henderson, celebrated for his great talents and staunch ojtposition to Episcopacy, was born in this Parish, in 1583. On a little eminence near the Church are the vestiges of a Roman Camp, with two lines of circumvalation, and about a mile further west, on a higher hill, is another of the same kind. The Parish Church, which is near Luthrie, was built in 1830-32. It is a handsome structtire, and contains 252 sittings. There is a Free Church, jointly for Creich and FHsk, at Bi-unton. In addition to the Parish School which is at Luthrie, there is a Free Church School at Brunton. The inhabitants are chiefly employed in agricultural and other out-door labours ; there are also a few weavers and other tradesmen in Luthrie and Brunton.

The POST TOWN is Cupar, with Sub-Offices at Luthrie and Brunton. The Sub- Post Masters are David Smith, Luthrie, and John Heggie, Brunton. ^A walking postman leaves Cupar about 9.20 a.m., and delivers letters along the route by Moonzie to Luthrie and Brunton. He leaves Brunton on his return at 12. 55 p.m., and Luthrie at 1.19 p.m., and reaches Cupar in time for the afternoon's earliest despatch. BOOT & SHOEMAKERS. CLERGY.

Cults is a small Parish in the centre of the County, chiefly lying in "the Howe of Fife," to the south of the Eden. It is bounded on the north by Collessie and Monimail, on the east by Cupar and Ceres, on the south by Scoonie and Kennoway, and on the west by Kettle. It contains the village of Pitlessie, and the hamlets of Kirkton, Crossgates, Cidts Mill, and Walton. Its length northward is about two and a half miles, and its breadth westward about one and a half miles. The surface is generally flat, but swells up to the Cults lime-hills on the southern boundary. The eastern part is well wooded. The soil is light, and in some places, particularly on the banks of the Eden, gravelly, but towards the south it is a strong clay. Only a small portion is in pasture. The only mansion-house in the Parish, Crawford Priory, erected in 1813 by Lady Mary Lindsay Crawford, is a magnificent Gothic structure. The noble family of Lindsay Crawford was connected with this Parish for five centuries. Their Fifeshire property was obtained from the Keiths in exchange for Dunnottar Castle, in the fourteenth century. George, the 22d Earl of Crawford and 6th Earl of Lindsay, died in 1808. His sister and heiress, and the last member of the family in the direct line, died in 1833. At her death the Earl of Glasgow came into possession of the estates, but not only is the Earl non-resident, but he seems to count so little upon this splendid property, that since his accession he has barely paid it a flying visit. The Earldom of Crawford has been adjudged by the House of Lords to James, 7th Earl of Balcarres. The Earldom of Lindsay still continues dormant. Sir David Wilkie, the celebrated painter, was a native of Cults, of which his father was minister. There are few things of which some of the older parishioners seem so proud, as that they were the school-fellows and companions of one who in after years acquired so world- wide a reputation. There are extensive lime quarries in the Parish, great quantities of which are sent by Piailway to Perth and other distant places. Sandstone is also met with in several localities. There axe two meal, two flour, and one saw-miU in the Pariah. ,

DIRECTORY. CULTS. 25

The great Fife road leading from Newport to Kirkcaldy traverses the Parish, and there is ready access to the E. P. & D. Railway at Ladybank and Springfield. In the country the inhabitants are almost wholly employed in agricultural operations, or in the lime quarries, and in Pitlessie nearly all are linen weavers.

The POST TOWN is Ladybank, with a Sub-Office at Pitlessie, John Garland, Sub-Post Master. —A walking postman leaves Ladybank about 8.30 a.m., and 5.30 P.M., delivering letters along the road by Muirside and Ramomie House, arriving in Pitlessie about 9. 20 A. M. , and 6. 20 p. m. , and leaving for Ladybank at 5.50. A.M., and 2.15 p.m.

The Pakish op Cupar is in the centre of the County. It contains the Royal Burgh and post town of its own name, and the villages of Springfield, Brighton, and Gladney. The latter however is so- closely adjoining to Ceres, as properly to form along with it only one village. It is bounded by Moonzie, Kilmany, and Dairsie, on the north, by Dairsie and Kemback on the east, by Ceres on the south, and by Calts and Monimail on the west. It has a very irregular outline, and measures about five miles both in extreme length and breadth. The surface is finely undulated and well wooded. The river Eden flows through it from south-west to north-east, between green and fertile banks of varied beauty, about two-thirds of the Parish being on the north side of the stream. The Lady Burn, or St Mary's Bui-n, flows through the northern suburbs of the town, and falls into the Eden at the Carthaugh. The soil to the north and east of the Burgh is a friable loam on a gravelly subsoil, and to the south and west more inclined to sand. Nearly the whole is in a state of cultivation, and capable of carrying almost every description of farm crop. The Parish is well supplied with good roads, and the Edinburgh, Perth, & Dundee Railway runs from west to east through its whole length, and has stations at Cupar and Springfield. In the country, there are quarries of good freestone, a brick and tile work, and a number of com and flour mills. In the town, there is a spinning mill, a com and flour mill, two tanworks, a currying work, three breweries, and a small foundry. The linen manufacture by hand-loom w^eaving has long been actively carried on, but at present it is rather in a declining state. A power-loom factory has however been erected in the Lebanon suburb, which it is hoped will give a new impetus to the trade of the district. The principal mansion-houses are Tarvit, Kilmaron, and Wemysshall. About a mile to the west of the town is the ancient house of Carslogie, for many generations the family seat of the Clephanes, who in early feudal times exercised a great influence in the district. Cupar comprises the two ancient Parishes of Cupar-Fife and St Michaels of Tarvit, which were united in 1618. Cupar consisted of all to the north, and St Michaels of all to the south of the Eden. The Church and Churchyard belonging to the latter stood on what was called St Michael's HiU, or the Skaevia Brae. Long ago every vestige of the Church had disappeared, and the very hill on which it stood has been compelled to give way to the utilitarian demands of the present age, the whole having been driven off to form the railway embankment between the railway station and Cupar Muir. While the hill was in course of being levelled, the ancient graveyard was cut into, and an immense quantity of human bones exposed. Ever since the union of the two parishes, Cupar has been a collegiate charge, but, owing to the want of accommodation in the Parish Church, another place of worship was erected at the West Port in 1837, which is called St Michaels Church, the two ministers ofiiciating in the two Churches altemately. The town of Cupar is situated nearly in the centre of both Parish and County, on the north bank of the Eden, on the turnpike road from Edinburgh to Dundee, and on the Dundee fork of the E. P. & D. Railway. It is ten miles west of St Andrews, twelve south-west of Tayport, and eighteen north north east of Kirkcaldy. It is a place of considerable antiquity. At an early period the Macduffs, Thanes of Fife, had a Castle on a height in the midst of the marshy grounds which then bordered the Eden and the Lady Bum. It continued the seat of the court of the Stewartry of Fife until the forfeiture of Albany, Earl of Fife, in the reign of James I. , when that court was removed to Falkland. No trace of that Castle now remains, though the place where it stood is still called the Castle HiU. It is now the playground and site of the Madras Academy buildings. The earliest charter of the Burgh was granted in 1363, by David II., conferring the privileges of trade upon the burgesses. These privileges were repeatedly con- —

DIRECTORY. CUPAR. 57

finned and extended by Robert II. and subsequent sovereigns. At one period the Burgli held a considerable extent of land, from which a good revenue was derived, but it was sold and the money squandered by those in office, previous to

the passing of the Municipal Reform Act ; and at present the annual revenue is about £140, which barely meets necessary expenditure. By the recent Municipal Act the council consists of eighteen councillors, inclusive of a provost, three bailies, a treasurer, and a dean of guild. The Burgh unites with St Andrews and the five coast Burghs in returning a Member to Parliament. The town of Cupar derives considerable importance from its being the County town, and numbering among its inhabitants the numerous practitioners who practise in the County court. Some of its importance is also owing to its being the centre of a large district of country, dotted by numerous villages and a multitude of fertile farms, the wants of whose inhabitants are to a great extent supplied by the shopkeepers and tradesmen of the Burgh ; and this accounts for the number and respectability of the various places of business. The town consists of four principal streets—the Crossgate running north and south, the Bonnygate which runs east and west, St Catherine Street which is a continuation of the Bonnygate, and the Kirkgate, in which the Parish Church is situated, which runs in a south-west direction from the centre of the Crossgate. There are also a number of small streets and lanes running off from the main streets, and large suburbs both to the north and south of the town, which are now included in the municipal and parliamentary boundaries. The best building^ are in

St Catherine Street and the Crossgate ; the county court buildings, most of the banking offices, and principal shops being in these streets. Among the public institutions connected with the town may be mentioned, the national security savings' bank, a property investment company, a public reading-room in the Town Hall, a subscription library, cricket, bowling, angling, and golf clubs. The latter however has never attained to much reputation, as, owing to the want of suitable ground, that fine game can only be pursued under great difficulties. The public buildings are the various Churches, the County Court House with its elegant Hall, the Madras School buildings, the Guild Hall, the Town Hall, and the Masons' Lodge. A splendid new Com Exchange is in course of erection at the foot of the Castle Hill, to be used as a Public Hall, and by farmers and others attending the weekly corn market, as a place for the transaction of business. This will prove a great architectural ornament to the place. The Parish Church is a very plain structure, built in 1785. Its plainness is to some extent relieved by a handsome Turret or Spire, the only remaining portion of the ancient Gothic Church. It was built in 1415 up to the battlements, by the then Prior of St Andrews, and finished in its present condition in 1642, by the Rev. WiUiam Scott, minister of the Parish. It is often regretted that the new Church was not joined to the old Spire, as the intervention of the Session House or Vestry gives it a detached appearance. The other Churches are, St Michaels Church already referred to, a Free Church, two United Presbyterian Churches, —Burnside and Boston—a Free Communion Baptist Church, an Episcopalian Church, and two or three small Baptist congregations. There is a Chapel and a resident missionary, in connection with the Church of Scotland, at Springfield.

There is properly speaking no Parochial School in the Parish ; the principal educational establishment is the Madras Academy, which has a staff of six male and one female, besides several assistant teachers. It is conducted on the Madras system of the late Dr. Bell, who bequeathed to the institution the estate of Egmore in Galloway, the annual rent of which is nearly £700, which, along with the fees, is devoted to the payment of the salaries of the teachers, and other necessary expenses connected with the institution. The whole is under the management of four

trustees, viz : —the two Parish ministers, the provost, and the dean of guild. There H -56 CUPAR. FIFESHIRE are two well conducted Private Schools in the town, and two Institutions for young ladies, in which music and the modern languages are taught. There is a School at Springfield in connection with the Free Church. There is a weekly corn market held on Tuesday, "and a fair for cattle and horses on the first Tuesday of every month. There are also two great hiring fairs, St James' and Martinmas, the former being held on the first Tuesday of August, and the latter on Martinmas tei-m day. The August fair is by far the largest in the County, multitudes of country people being present on such occasions.

There are five Newspapers connected with the Town, viz. : —The Fife Herald, the Fifeshire Journal, the News, the Dundee Advertiser, and the People's Journal. The publishing oflice for the two latter is in Dundee, but they have a branch oifice in Cupar for the transaction of aU business matters connected with the County. The inhabitants in the country are generally employed in agricultural labours, or at the quarries and tile work at Cupar Muir, and in linen weaving. In the town many are employed as clerks and shopkeepers, a considerable number in the various handicrafts carried on in the district, and there are several hundreds of linen weavers, the greater part of whom are females.

This Parish is situated in the north-east of the County, and is bounded on the west by Cupar, on the north by Logic and Kilmany, on the east by Leuchars, and on the south by Kemback. It is about two and a half miles in length, and nearly as much in breadth. The surface slopes gently upwards, terminating in the hills of Poodie and Craigfoodie, which are situated near the centre of the Parish, and which are capable of bearing heavy crops nearly up to their summits. The soil in general is very fertile, and is in many places rich and deep, and is also in a high state of cultivation. Freestone and whinstone abound in the Parish. The mansion- houses are Craigfoodie and Pittormie. The old castle of Dairsie is in the immediate vicinity of the Parish Church, but it is now in a very dilapidated condition. It was rebuilt by Archbishop Spottiswoode, in which it is said he compiled his Church History. It was at one time a place of considerable importance and strength, and is said to have been for some time the residence of Archbishop

Sharp ; in 1355 it had the honour of having a Parliament convened within its walls. The Parish Church was erected by Archbishop Spottiswoode. It is beautifully situated, and its fine massive Gothic windows and i:>olygonal tower renders it an object of interest and admiration to visitors. There is also a Free Church in the Parish. The Parish School is near Middlefoodie, and there is a Free Church School at Dairsie village, and a Female School at Poodieash. There is a spinning-mill at Lydox Mill, and three corn and flour mills, the machinery of which is propelled by water power obtained from the Eden, which skirts the southern boundary of the Parish, and is spanned by a bridge of three arches, built by Archbishop Spottiswoode to facilitate his communication with St Andrews. The inhabitants are partly engaged in agricultural operations, and a few in hand-loom linen weaving. The road from Kirkcaldy to Newport passes through the Parish, and it is also traversed by the Dundee fork of the E. P. & D. Railway, which has a station near Dairsie.

The POST TOWN is Cupar, with a Sub-Post Office at Dairsie, William Brodie, Sub-Post Master. —A postman arrives from Cupar at about 9.45 a.m., and leaves at 1. 45 p. M. , reaching Cupar in time for despatch by the earliest afternoon mails. DIRECTORY. DAIRSIE AND DALGETY. 67

This Parish is situated in the south-west of the County, and is bounded by Inverkeithing on the west, Aberdour on the east, Beath and Dunfermline on the north, and by the Firth of Forth on the south. It is in the form of a triangle, being about five miles in extent from north to south, three miles from east to west at the southern extremity, which stretches along the Firth of Forth, and little more than one half mile in breadth at the northern boundary. The ground rises gradually from the shore, but there are no hills of any considerable altitude, the highest point in the Parish being about 450 feet above the level of the sea. The soil is partly a light dry loam, but more generally is a deep strong loam, and well cultivated. Coal abounds in the Parish, and there is a very extensive colliery at Fordel, which employs nearly one half of the population. The principal mansions are, Otterstone, Cockaimey, Fordel House, and Donibristle, the seat of the Earl of Moray. The old Parish Church is a very ancient building. The precise date of its erection is not known, but documents exist which show that a grant of the ground on which it stands was made to the Abbot of St Combe in the fourteenth century.

1 It however bears evident marks of having received considerable additions and repairs 68 DALGETY. PIFESHIUE of a more recent date. The present Churcli was erected by the Earl of Moray in 1830. It is a fine building in the Gothic style, and stands about half a mile from the shore, contiguous to the road leading from Aberdour to Inverkeithing. There is also a Chapel of Ease at Mossgreen, in the north-east district of the Parish. In addition to the Parish School, there is a non-parochial School in connection with the works at Fordel colliery. There is a small loch in the Parish called Otterstone Loch, about three-fourths of a mile in length, and not exceeding a quarter of a mile in breadth. It is about a mile inland, and its banks are richly ornamented with fine beautiful woods. There is a fine waterfall near the loch, on the grounds of Fordel. The old Castle of Fordel, built in 1111, has recently undergone extensive repairs, both internally and externally, and presents nothing of that ruinous and dilapidated appearance so much to be found in old castles. It is an object of great interest to visitors, and is surrounded by fine and picturesque scenery. The inhabitants are partly engaged as agricultural labourers, but the great majority of them are employed as colliers, or otherwise connected with the coalworks. Most of the coal is shipped at St Davids, a small harbour in the Parish, and is conveyed thither from the pits—a distance of about four miles—by a railway constructed for the purpose. The villages in the Parish are, St Davids, Fordel Square, part of Crossgates, and part of Hillend. The POST TOWN is Inverkeithing, with a Sub-Office at Crossgates, James Miller, Sub-Post Master. —A walking postman leaves the Post Office about 10 A.M., and reaches Crossgates about 11.30 a.m. He leaves Crossgates on his return about 2 p. m. Those residing in the eastern extremity of the Parish receive their letters by Aberdour, but there is no regular postal communication from the Post Office there. This accounts for Aberdour being given in the Directory as the address of a few parties in this Parish. BLACKSMITHS. Harvey, David, Broomside Andrew, Wm.

This Parish is in the eastern district of the County, and is bounded on the north by St Andrews, on the east by Kingsbarns, on the south by Crail and Carnbee, and on the west by Cameron. It measures about three miles both in length and breadth, and reaches to within one and a half miles of the sea at its north-eastern boundary. The surface is somewhat uneven and hilly, the ground rising to the north to an elevation of nearly 300 feet above sea-level. The land is in a high state of cultivation, and is beautifully interspersed with woodland and streams. Of these latter the largest is Pitmilly Burn, which enters the Parish from Cameron, and flows eastward to the sea. From the number of old coal-pits existing, it is evident that coal must have been at a former period very abundant, but nothing is now done in this department. Sandstone and iron-stone also abo^lnd, but neither are much woi'ked. The Parish has no village, and is thinly inhabited, the inhabitants being almost all engaged in agricultural operations. The Parish Church and School-House are at Denino, and there is no other Church or School in the Parish.

The POST TOWN is St Andrews, with a Sub-Office at Denino, Thomas Simpson, Sub-Post Master. —A walking postman leaves the Post Office, St Andrews, as soon as possible after the arrival of the Mails from Edinburgh and the south, deUvering and collecting letters along the road to Denino, and leaving on his return at 11.30 A.M.

This Parish is situated in the northern district of the County, being bounded by the Firth of Tay on the north, the parish of Monimail on the south, by Flisk, Creich, and part of Abdie on the east, and by the larger portion of Abdie on the west. Its greatest length is about four miles, and its greatest breadth about one and a half miles. Only a small point of land stretches down to the Tay. A considerable portion of the Parish is good arable land, which is properly cultivated, the remaining portion consisting of hill pasture, or waste and woodland. There are two ridges of hUls which stretch across the Parish, the highest point of these being about 500 feet above sea-level. The northern one forms a continuation of Norman's Law, and is cultivated to the summit. The southern ridge is not so fertile, and comprises the most of the barren land in the Parish. The old Castle of Collairney, now in ruins, is in this Parish. The inhabitants are not numerous, and are for the most part connacted with agricultural pursuits. At a former period there was a small village which derived its name from that of the Parish, but it has now disappeared. The Parish Church was erected in 1803. There is no other Church or School except those connected with the Parish. The road from Cupar to Newburgh passes through the Parish.

The POST TOWN is Newbui-gh.—A walking postman leaves the Post Office about 9 A.M., delivering letters in the villages of Glenbumie, Grange, Lindores, ami Dunbog, and leaves Dunbog on his return at 1 p. m.

This Parish, containing the City and Royal Burgh of Dunfermline, is situated in the south-west of the County, and is boimded on the north by Cleish in Kinross- shire, on the west by Saline, Carnock, and Torryburn, on the east by Beath, Inver- keithing, Aberdour, and Dalgety, and on the south by Inverkeithing, and the Firth of Forth. The Parish is about nine miles in extreme length from north to south, and six miles in extreme breadth, and is the largest parish in the County. The land swells gently upwards from the coast to the hiUs of Cleish, the highest points in the Parish being Craigluscar HUl on the north-western border, and the Hill of Beath on the boundary with the parish of that name. A very commanding prospect is obtained from the top of this last mentioned hiU, which is clothed with verdure to the very summit. The southern part of the Parish is in a high state of cultivation, and well enclosed ; and there are also a number of fine mansion-houses, which, with the beautiful woods by which they are su.rrounded, render the scenery very imposing and picturesque. The soil towards the north is inferior to that of the south, and although much has been done for its improvement of late, it still wears a more barren and sterile aspect. The only stream in the Parish worth noticing is the Lyne or Spittal, which takes its rise in the neighbourhood of Crossgates, and flows throughout the entire length DIRECTORY. DUNFERMLINE. ^1 of the parish to that of Torryburn, where it bends to the south and forms the boundary between the two parishes, and ultimately falls into the Firth of Forth. The Parish also contains several lakes, the principal of which are, the Town Loch, Lochfitty, Lochgloe, and the Black Loch. The chief mansion-houses are, Pittencrieff, Pitferrane, Pitreavie, and Broomhall, the seat of Lord Elgin, who claims to be a descendant of the illustrious house of Bruce, although the efforts to trace the connection up to the royal Robert have not proved successful. There are extensive coal fields in this Parish, which have beeu wrought for the long period of 600 years, and still form a fruitful source of industry and wealth in the rural districts. Dunfermline was the third place in Britain where coal was obtained, and although an immense quantity of this useful mineral is yearly dug, and sent ofif both by land and sea, the fields seem still as inexliaustible as ever. The most extensive colUeries are, the Elgin Colliery, Wellwood, Townhill, Appin, Halbeath, Cuttlehill, and South Lethans. Limestone is also wrought in several places, but the principal work is at Charleston, on the lands of Broomhall. Iron-stone abounds to some extent, and there are various whinstone and freestone quarries. There were at one time seven mills for the spinning of linen yarns in the Parish, only one of which is in existence at the present time There are, however, several bleaclifields, power-loom and hand-loom factories, brick works, iron foundries, breweries, dye-works, a soap work, two tobacco manufactories, corn and flour mills, and other public works of a similar description. The principal villages are, Charleston, Limekilns, Crossford, Patie Muir, Halbeath, Masterton, part of Crossgates, and North Queensferry. That portion, however, in which the latter is situated is a modern annexation, formerly belonging to Inverkeithing parish, and is upwards of two miles distant from the nearest point of the main body of the Parish. The city and town of Dunfermline is situated a little to the south of the centre of the Parish, sixteen miles north-west of Edinburgh, and thirty south-west of Cupar. Part of the town stands at an elevation of 270 feet above the level of the sea, and slopes in a rather steep descent toward the south. Dunfermline was constituted a Royal Burgh by a charter from James VI., dated 24:th May, 1.5.58, and is governed by a provost, two bailies, a guild magistrate, a treasurer, seventeen councillors, and a town clerk. It unites with Stirling, Inverkeithing, Culross, and South Queensferry, in returning a member to Parliament. At a very early period the town became the residence of royalty. Malcolm Canmoi'e usually resided in a tower or castle which he erected in what is now called Pittencriefi" Glen, a Httle to the south-west of the town. A palace was afterwards erected in a most romantic situation near the tower, the south-west wall of which still remains, affording a specimen of the architectural grandeur of the building of which it formed part. Malcolm, while residing here, married Margaret, a Saxon princess, who, with a brother who was heir to the English throne, fled to Scotland from the Norman conqueror, or, as some maintain, they intended to proceed to Hungary, but the vessel in which they sailed was driven into the small bay about a mile north-west of North Queensferry, and hence the origin of the name of the bay, —St Margaret's Hope, —as also that of Queens- ferry, both North and South. About two miles from Dunfermline, on the road- side near Pitreavie, is a large stone on which Margaret is said to have rested, and now called St Margaret's Stone. After Malcolm's marriage he, at her request, founded and endowed a Monastery in the immediate vicinity of their own residence, which David I. raised to the dignity of an Abbey. It was richly endowed, and derived part of its revemxe from various and distant parts of the kingdom, but it fell a prey to the plundering army of Edward I., and the whole building was demolished at the Reformation in 1560. Margaret did much for the introduction of civilization, and the diffusion of knowledge among the Scots, who were at that time regarded as a raee of barbarians. Malcolm, his Queen, and some of their family, 72 t>tJJrFERMLmEl. FIFESHIRE

were buried in the Abbey Church ; and at a later period King Robert Brace, with his Queen and daughter, were interred in the same place. The small portions of the Abbey which still remain are sufficient to give an indi- cation of its original gi-andeur and magniiicence. The nave of the Church is in a pretty fair state of preservation, and affords a very good idea of the style of architecture at the period of its erection, and forms one of the most interesting objects of antiquity in Dunfermline. ThiS'part of the building was kept in repair from the Reformation down to 1821, in consequence of its being used as a place of worship. The Parish Church is a handsome edifice, with a square tower 100 feet high at the east end. Wlien digging the foundation for this building in 1818, the tomb of Robert Bruce was discovered 490 years after his death. His remains now lie in a stone coffin immediately below the pulpit of the Church. The charge since 1645 has been collegiate. In addition to the Parish Church, there is St Andrews Quoad Sacra Church, and a Chapel of Ease at Golfdrum. Tliere are also in the Parish three Free Churches, six IT. P. Churches, a Catholic Apostolic Church, and Chapels connected with the Episcopal, Independent, Baptist, and Roman Catholic bodies. The celebrated Ralph Erskine, one of the founders of the Secession Church, was minister of this Parish previous to his seceding from the Establishment. There is no Parochial School in the Parish, but the educational wants of the population are well sujaplied. The Burgh or High School is under the management of the magistrates and town council. The Commercial Academy is \mder the control of the Guildry. The Rolland or Priory Lane School, which originated in a donation by the late Adam Rolland, Esq., of Gask, is imder the direction of the town council, and supplies the ordinary laranches of education at a low rate, thus proving a great boon to the poorer classes in the town. There is also a suite of Free Church Schools, a School for poor girls, an Episcopal School, and five seminaries for young ladies. All the collieries in the Parish have also Schools in'; connection with them. The inhabitants in the town are principally engaged in Iiand-loom weaving, and the fabrics woven are chiefly table-linens and damask cloth. In this latter department, Dunfermline has long occupied the foremost place, and, for richness of design and beauty of finish, its manufactiu-es have scarcely ever been equalled, much less surpassed. This branch however has of late greatly declined, and the wages of the operatives have become very unremunerative, besides being subjected to periodical stagnations, which are driving many to follow after other and more profitable occupations. A good nimiber are also employed at the power-loom factories and other pubUc works. A few of those residing in the landward part of the Parish are engaged in agricultiiral labours, but the great majority of them are employed as miners at the collieries, with which the Parish abounds. A consideralile number of the inhabitants of Charleston and Limekilns are connected with sea- faring avocations. There is a resident Sheriff-Substitute for the western district of the County, in Dunfermline. The County Buildings are constructed in the Grecian style, | and are surmounted by a Spire 132 feet high. They contaiii a Sheriff court- room. Justice of Peace court-room, and otlier rooms for the convenience of court officers. The buildings also include a post office, a savings' bank, a public library, and reading-rooms. The Music Hall is a tine modern structure of two flats, erected by Wm. Clark, Jun. The upper hall is \ised for all kinds of public meetings, and the lower occasionally as a theatre, and on Tuesday (the corn market day) as a corn exchange. It has recently undergone extensive alterations, and no expense has been spared to adorn and ornament it. The Parish is well supplied with good roads, anil there are terminal stations at Dunfermline for the branch line of the E. P. & D. Railway, the Stirling & Dun- fermline, and Charleston Railways. Application was made to Parliament in the MEECTORY. DUNFERMLINE. spring of 1861, for a Bill to sanction the construction of a Railway from Dunferm- line to Edinbui-gli, by way of North Queensferiy, but the Bill was lost. A weekly market is held on Tuesday, chiefly for grain, which is disposed of both by stock and sample. Fairs for the sale of cattle and horses are held on the third Tuesday of each month.

There are four Newspapers published in the town, viz. : —The Dunfermline Advertiser, published on the second Friday of every month, the Dunfermline Journal, published on the fourth Friday of every month, the Dunfermline Press, published every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, and the Telegraph and News, every Saturday.

It is agreed by learned men that the name of this Parish is derived from the Celtic word, Dys-ard, which signifies the height of God, and it is therefore probable that from an early period a place of worship existed here, from which the name originated. The Parish is bounded on the south by the Firth of Forth, on the east by the parishes of Wemyss and Markinch, on the north by Kinglassie, and on the west by Kinglassie, Auchterderran, and Kirkcaldy. The sea-eoast, which is bold and rocky, extends upwards of two miles, and the surface of the Parish continues afterwards to ascend for about a mile towards the north.

The population of the Parish, according to the census of 1861, is 8794 ; males, 4015, females, 4779. The town of Dysart is a Royal Burgh, and joins with Kirkcaldy, Kinghorn, and Burntisland, in sending a Member to Parliament. It was originally a Burgh of Barony holding of the St Clairs of Rosslyn, afterwards Earls of Orkney, and subsequently of the Lordd Sinclair. It was erected iuto a Royal Burgh at the beginning of the sixteenth century, but the early charters have been lost. By the recent Municipal Act, it is governed by nine councillors, including a provost, two bailies, and a treasurer. The town's revenue is from £500 to £600 yearly, but when the shipping of coal is good—of which there are large means for an export trade—the income is much higher. Dysart has an excellent wet dock with eighteen feet of water, and is sufficient to contain about twenty vessels of different burden. The population of the Bm-gh is 1756. In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, Dysart had a veiy large export trade in &alt, coal, and fish, while malting and brewing were also carried on to a great extent. After the Union its trade decayed and its shipping rapidly disappeared. At present there are only two vessels belonging to the harbour. Besides the Burgh of Dysart, there are some populous villages in the Parish. Pathhead, situated at the south-western extremity of the Parish, at the head of a steep descent called the Path, is a village of considerable antiquity, and is sometimes called Dunnikier, from the estate on which it is built. It used to be famous for the manufactui-e of nails, but this trade as regards Pathhead is now entirely at an end. Immediately adjoining, and to the north-east is St Clairtowu, built on the property of the Eaid of Rosslyn. Still further to the north-east are Easter and Wester Gallatown. There is also a mining village in the Parish, a little to the north of Dysart, called Boreland. West of Dysart are the lands of Eavenscraig, belonging to the Earl of Rosslyn. Here, on a lofty rock which overhangs the sea- shore, are the ruins of Ravenscraig Castle. It used to be the residence of the Lords St Clair, inhabited when Sibbald and was wrote ; but it has for many years been in ruins. Dysart House, the residence of the Earl of Rosslyn, is situated above the sea-shore to the west of the Burgh. It is a plain, but neat and commodious 86 DYSART. PIFESHIRE

mansion, and commands an extensive and very beautiful view of the Firth, and of the scenery to the east. It is worthy of remark that General St Clair, of Dysart House, was Quarter- Master General of the British forces in Flanders, in 1745 and in 1746. He was Commander-in-chief of a considerable body of forces that landed on the French coast at the bay of Quiberon, in October, 1746. David Hume, the celebrated historian and philosopher, was Secretary to General St Clair in this expedition, and again attended him in the same capacity, on his proceeding subsequently as Ambassador to the courts of Vienna and Turin. The General was repeatedly Member of Parliament for the Kirkcaldy district of Burghs. Of late much has been done to improve the Burgh of Dysart, and some hundreds of pounds have been laid out by the Town Council in laying the streets with large square stones. This improvement was much needed, and is of considerable advantage to the inhabitants. Water is exceedingly scarce in Dysart, and the manner in which so large a community has been served with this precious necessary, has long been a disgrace to its savans. The Church of Dysart was erected in 1802, and is a plain, commodious building, ca]5able of containing 1800 persons. It is a collegiate charge, a second minister having been established in 1620. The present incumbents are the Rev. William Mulr and the Rev. James Simpson. Besides the Parish Church, there are the Quoad Sacra Church of Pathhead, three Free Churches, one Free Church Mission-House, one U. P. Church, and a Baptist Church, all in the Parish. Although not mentioned in Spottiswoode's list of religious houses, there is said to have been a Priory of black fi-iars in Dysart, the Chapel of which was still dedicated to St Dennis ; part of the old wall of this Chapel, which retains its name, yet remains, but it has for a long period been used as a smithy. Near the Chapel of St Dennis is the old Chiirch of Dysart, which bears the marks of having been a handsome piece of architecture in its time. On one of its windows is the date, 1570, but the Steeple and Porch bear marks of a far greater antiquity. There are a number of excellent Schools in the Parish, the principal of which are, the Burgh School, Subscription Sohool, and Female Industrial School, all situated in Dysart. Gallatown has a handsome Subscription or Government School, and a Female Industrial School, established and supported by the rmobtrusive exertions of the Rev. William Muir. There is also a Subscription School in St Clairtown and one in Pathhead, besides the one endowed by the late Mr Philp, of Edenshead, for the education of 170 children, who, as at Kirkcaldy, receive a yearly allowance for clothing. There is also a School at the mining village of Boreland, suijported by the colliery. In the Burgh of Dysart there is only one medical practitioner, who for some years past has acted as Parish Assessor and Valuator, and Burgh Chamberlain. Coals have from a very early pei'iod been wrought in this Parish, and there are still some good mines at work on the estate of the Earl of Rosslyn. There are five beds of iron-stone lying below the coal, which are also worked where they come near the surface. The iron-stone is generally shipped for Carron works ; a ton is said to yield 12 cwt. of iron. There are also good limestone and freestone quarries in the Parish. The principal manufacture in the district is that of checks and ticks. There is a large power-loom factory in Dysart, however, which manufactures largely in damasks, sheetings, &c., &c., upwards of 450 hands being employed within its walls. A mill to the east of the town for spinning flax employs from 40 to 60 is pottery for making stoneware, and a patent slip dock for persons ; there also a repairing vessels. We close this notice with a paragraph written by the correspon- dent of the Dundee Advertiser, and which we take from the columns of that well- conducted, excellent Newspaper. — "Dysart, with the exception of St Andrews, possesses more historic interest and olden beauty than any other place all around the coast of Fife. When the stranger first arrives in Dysart he looks on the old burgh as a much decayed, but ancient and very pleasant town. In a short time he —

DIRECTORY. DYSART. sr finds himself on the walk along the top of the Piper's Braes. Here he is thrown into a sort of trance, the beauty of the scene demands his admiration. He looks across the broad Firth, and sees it studded with vessels to the opposite shore, appearing in all the beauty or ' enchantment' which distance gives to a view, but not too great to hide what is prominent. The whole seems to be enjoying a sweet low Craigleith the frowning Bass repose. The line of coast is terminated by and ; then follows a long line of sea blending with the horizon, or dotted by the craggy Isle of May. Elie Ness looks timidly into the sea. Largo bay, as if making an attack upon the land, cannot be seen ; but the smiling village of West Wemyss, reposing in sunshine, meets in happy beauty his admiring gaze ; and from here to the place which the stranger traverses are braes unusually picturesque. Midway his eye is sure to be arrested by the rude grandeur of the red rocks, but he looks down on the green, which, descending precipitately, comes to a level before it reaches the rocks which have preserved it from the invasion of the sea—preserved what remains—for the ancient green had, without doubt, extended over rocks now bare and washed by every tide. Here children may be seen when the sea is in a state of commotion, ' running tide,' as they call the sport, chasing the retiring, or flying before, the advancing wave, setting up a cry of mischievous exultation when some unfortunate wight who has been too adventurous, or who has miscalculated its speed, is overtaken and drenched by the angry surge. These braes, reduced in size by the encroachment of the sea, have been lately curtailed by the erection of a gas-work, and are still further narrowed by its extension. The only advantage arising from this innovation is, making some good bathing-ground more private. But these braes are of civic importance. Many a stirring scene has been enacted there. There in ancient times the butts were erected, and the burgesses marshalled to practise archery—perhaps our rifle corps may yet practise there. They have rung with the shout that applauded the skilful, or the derisive laugh which followed the erring bolt of the awkward archer. On these braes the soldiers of Cromwell have been exercised. Our Presbyterian forefathers, who liked neither his company nor his mongrel creed, looked with ill-suppressed scorn on the con- querors of Leslie. Latterly these braes were given as a perquisite to the Town's Piper. This was before we had the fine bell, which has long announced the morning and evening hour. These were the days when the piper played his pipes twice a-day through the streets of our burgh. Since the bell superseded the pipes, the braes have been let for pasture ; but of that source of revenue, we may say what the town piper of Dysart said of his annual gratuity from the inhabitants, " 'It increased and increased till it cam' t' naething.'

There are two Post Oflices in the Parish, viz. : —Dysart and Pathhead, Mrs Dick, Post Mistress, Dysart, and David Drybui-gh, Post Master, Pathhead. —Letters arrive at both Oifices from Kirkcaldy, about 9 a.m. and 5.30 p.m., and are despatched about 2.30 p.m. and 9.30 p.m. For the convenience of those residing in Gallowtown, a pillar letter-box has been erected, from which letters are taken previous to the despatches from Pathhead. The postal arrangements for the north-east border of the Parish are connected with the Post-OlSce at Thornton, and parties residing in that district are so entered in the Directory.

This Parish, containing the post town of its own name, is on the south coast of the Covmty. It is bounded by the Firth of Forth on the south, by Abercrombie on the east, and by Kilconquhar and Newbum on the north and west. It comprises a main body of about two miles in length from east to west, by nearly one in breadth, and two detached portions to the north-west, the one containing two farms at the distance of two miles, and the other, one farm at the distance of three miles. There are no hills and scarcely a rising ground in the Parish, the whole surface being flat, and a considerable portion near the sea-shore forming sandy links. The promontories which form the two extremities of the bay of Elie consist of amygdaloid and basalt, the latter exhibiting sometimes a columnar structure. Between these head- lands the beach is low and composed of alternate thin beds of sandstone and shale, with occasionally seams of coal and strata of limestone—the whole incHned at high angles and in different directions, and without any regularity. Basalt occurs in various places extending in long reefs far into the sea. The greater portion of the Parish originally formed what was called the Barony

of Ardross ; and about the beginning of the seventeenth century came into the possession of Sir William Scott, who held the office of Director of Chancery during a

part of the reign of Charles I. , and was sold by his descendants to Sir William Anstruther, of Anstruther, about the end of the same century. A few years ago the estate was purchased from the re^sresentative of the Anstrather family, by

William Baird, Esq. , one of the Messrs Baird, of Gartshenie, who during the present generation have realized immense fortunes by the manufacture of iron. The ruins of the ancient Castle of Ardross, the manor place of the barony, stiU remain about a mile to the eastward of the village. Elie House, the present mansion-house,

is situated a little to the north of the village ; the grounds are beautifully wooded, and have been laid out with great taste. The Parish was originally a part of Kilconquhar, and became a separate erection about the year, 163-3. The village of Elie stands at the head of Elie Bay, five miles east south east of Largo, and about the same distance west south west of Anstruther. It is a Burgh of Barony, and stands near the sea, the water frequently washing the walls of the

houses ; and so nearly does it adjoin the suburbs of the Burgh of Earlsferry, in the parish of Kilconquhar, that, though treated and spoken of as different towns, no stranger would consider them separate places. EUe has the appearance of having formerly been a place of greater importance, as a number of the older houses have evidently been inhabited by families of distinction ; and although now a place of little trade, the whole is well built, and the 94 ELIR FIFESHIRE streets are clean, wide, and regular. It is well sheltered from tte east and north winds, and has long been a place of resort for sea-bathers during the summer. Indeed its chief importance and support is owing to that cause, a great number of the inhabitants letting a portion of their houses to visitors during the season ; and no place on the south coast, to the east of Burntisland, is so well adapted for sea-bathing as Elie, and the advantages it holds out in that respect seem every year to be more and more appreciated by the public. The harbour is naturally a good one, and has recently, at much expense, been greatly improved and extended by the proprietor of Elie. It is easily accessible to boats and vessels, many of the former having to flee to it for shelter during a storm from the east and north-east, when it would be dangerous to attempt the harbours to the eastward. The only winds to which it is exposed are those from the west and south-west. Elie seems peculiarly adapted for a fishing station, yet, strange to say, the inhabitants derive little advantage from that branch of industry, for the fishermen connected with the place scarcely supply the wants of the village and neighbourhood. There is no particular branch of industry carried on to any considerable extent in the Parish. A few are connected with agriculture, and a number are employed as village shopkeepers and tradesmen. A considerable number eke out a limited income by letting out either the whole or a part of their premises to country visitors during the bathing season ; while a number more may be described as being in easy circumstances, and independent either of trade or profession.

The main road from Anstruther to Kirkcaldy passes through the Parish ; and the Kilconquhar station of the East of Fife Railway is within a mile of the village, and coaches run to and from the station in connection with all the trains. A Bill passed through Parliament in 1861, for the purpose of carrying on the Railway to

Anstruther ; the extended Line passes close to the village. The Parish Church is a neat structure with a Spire. The precise date of its erection is not known, but it must have been somewhere about 1640. The Spire was built in 1728, and in 1831 the Church, which contains 600 sittings, underwent a thorough repair. The only other place of worship is the Free Church, which is also ornamented with a neat Spire. The Parish School and School-House is a very commodious and handsome building, built in 1860, and reflects great credit on the proprietor of Elie estate, who erected it at his own expense. The only other School in the Parish is an Evening School, taught for the last forty years during the winter months, by Mr James Clark, Gardener. The branches chiefly taught are, writing, arithmetic, and trigonometry. Mr Clark, as a non-professional teacher, deserves credit for the zeal and tact he has so long displayed in the education of the neighbouring youth.

Elie is the POST TOWN for the district, Ann Gourlay, Post Mistress.—Letters are delivered in Elie and Earlsferry twice a day, commencing about 9. 30 A. m. and 6.45 P.M., and are despatched at 6.30 a.m. and 2.45 p.m.

The Paeish of Falkland lies to the west of the centre of the County, as viewed from north to south. It contains the Royal Burgh of Falkland, and the villages of Newton of Falkland and Freuchie. It is bounded by the parishes of Strath- miglo and Portmoak in Kinross-shire on the west, by Strathmiglo and Aucb- termuchty on the north, by Kettle on the east, and by Markinch and Leslie on the south. Its length eastward is about six miles, and its greatest breadth about four miles. Its ancient name was Kilgour, signifying, "the pleasant Church ;" and its modern name, which seems to have some reference to the manly sport of hawking, was applied in succession to the royal park or chase of Falkland, to the castle, to the palace, to the town, and ultimately to the Parish. The Eden flows along part of the northern boundary line, and an affluent of the Leven on the southern. The surface is beaiitifully diversified, and in many places finely ornamented with wood. There is a considerable tract of level ground between the northern boundary and Falkland, which formerly formed part of the royal chase ; to the south of which the ground rises abruptly into the East Lomond Hill and the high ridge which connects the East with the West Lomond, and then descends to the south of this range until it joins the parish of higher Leslie ; but the lowest point of the southern slope is much than that of the northern. In the general landscape of this part of the County, the range of the DIRECTORY. FALKLAND. n

Lomonds, with the two peaks which, form their eastern and western terminations, respectively 1471 and 1.500 feet high, are beautiful and interesting features ; and the several views from their summits are extensive and iine. That from the East Lomond is peculiarly beautiful in the summer season. The whole Howe of Fife, dotted with villages, gentlemen's seats, finely wooded parks, and fields waving in the autumn with golden corn, seems to be at the feet of the spectator, and constitutes a panorama not to be eqiiaUed by any view in the County. Nothing now remains of the ancient forest of Falkland, in which our old Kings so often enjoyed the pleasures of the chase, except a small portion of natural wood at Drimidreel, in the parish of Strathmiglo. After the departure of James VI. to occupy the throne of England, it was comparatively neglected, and was utterly destroyed by

Cromwell in 1652, who cut down and carried oflf the trees for the purpose of using them in the construction of the fort he was then erecting at Dundee. About a mile to the west of Falkland is the House of Falkland, the residence of Mrs 0. T3^ldal Bruce, a splendid Elizabethan mansion, built in 1839-44, at a cost of at least £30,000. To the west of the House of Falkland is Kilgour, where the Chui-ch once stood. Few parishes have made greater advances in agricultural improvement than Falkland has done. The great extent of drainage operations carried on by the late Mr Bruce, and, after his decease, by his neice and her husband, have reclaimed a great extent of ground ; and good grain crops are now produced far up the Lomonds, where formerly there was only pasture for sheep. The town of Falkland stands at the north base of the East Lomond Hill, — ten miles south-west of Cupar, three from the Falkland Road station of the E. P. & D. Railway, about the same distance from the town of Auchtermuchty, and about fifteen miles from Perth. It consists of one main street, broad and spacious at the east end, but narrow and crooked at the west end, with some cress lanes, the houses having in many cases somewhat of an antiquated appearance. It still retains vestiges of its former greatness in some of its local names, such as College Close, Parliament Square, West Port, ttc, &c. It was at one time regularly afflicted with malaria from neighbouring marshes, but since these were drained the place is now remarkably healthy. Falkland was originally a Burgh of Barony, belonging to the Earls of Fife, and was erected into a Royal Burgh during the reign of James II., in 1458. The charter was renewed by James VI., in 1596. Among the privileges which these charters conferred was the right of holding a weekly market, and four fairs or public markets annually. Latterly the annual fairs were increased to seven, but the one in November is the only one that is now well attended. Falkland appears never to have exercised its right of electing a Member to the Scottish Parliament, and therefore its piivileges were

overlooked at the Union ; and, so far as electoral rights are concerned, the Burgh merely forms part of the County, but in all other respects it enjoys the privileges of a Royal Burgh. It is governed by a provost, two bailies, eight councillors, a treasuier, and a town clerk. The Town-House, which is ornamented by a Spire, was erected in 1802, and contains a Hall, in which the Burgh courts and

meetings of town council are held ; and also rooms for a prison, wliicli is never used except as a temporary lock-up. The town has a splendid supply of spring water, which is brought from the Lomonds in pipes, and distributed in wells in diiferent parts of the town. The chief object of attraction in Falkland is the Royal Palace, which stands at the east end of the town, on its north side, lining with its enclosing wall part of

the street ; and, being much higher than the other houses in the place, can be seen at a great distance. This interesting edifice was originally a stronghold belonging to Macdufi], Earl of Fife, which, on the forfeiture of Murdoch, Duke of Albany, in 1424, was attached to the crown, and, as we have already said, became a hunting seat of the Scottish monarchs. The present building, which is but one of three

sides which formerly existed, was erected by James V. , who died in it. The other M 98 FALKLAND. FIFESHIRE two sides were accidentally destroyed by fire in the reign of Charles II. It was the favourite residence of James VI., probably on account of that monarch's attach- ment to hunting, for which the adjacent forest afforded excellent opportunities.

The last royal personage who occupied it was Charles II. , who resided in it for some days, both previous to and after his being crowned at Scone. Until the erection of the present Manse, it was possessed by the minister of the Parish. Being then left tenantless it fell into utter decay* the roof was demolished, the floors destroyed, and almost everything but the walls gave way. This was owing to the neglect of the keeper, who held his office in connection with a neighbouring property. At length the estate was j^urchased by Mr Bruce, one of Her Majesty's printers for Scotland, who resolved to rescue the Palace from the fate which seemed to threaten it. He commenced in 1823, a course of operations which may rather be called a restoration than a repair. He renewed the roofs and the floors, caused the windows which had been built up to be re-opened, and the crevices in the walls to be plastered up with cement, fitted up the interior as an elegant modern mansion, and finally decorated the environs with the appropriate charms of a flower garden. Before the whole of these elaborate and expensive operations had been completed, he was removed by death, but the work has been perfected according to his appointment by his heiress and her husband ; and it is now a pleasure, instead of a mortification, to contem- plate this remarkable monument of the taste and magnificence of one of our most beloved monarchs. Mr Robert Chambers, in his Gazetteer of Scotland, says, "The front of Falkland palace externally has a marked resemblance to that of

Hol3Tood as existing before the conflagration of 1651 ; namely, a double tower at one end, with a lower and castellated range of building running off towards the other. Underneath the double tower a wide arched way gives admission to the court-yard. At the top of the same edifice there is a stone, having engraved upon

' it the following unquestionable apothegm : Deus dat cui vult,' — God bestows his gifts on whomsoever he pleases. Along the lower range of the building are three or four pilasters, or rather buttresses, each having a niche formerly adorned with a statue. A similar style of architecture obtains behind, with this remarkable addition, that the walls are relieved by large medallion-like stones, on which the remains of heads en profile are still discernible. The splendid ceiling of the large hall or audience chamber, carved and painted in the most gorgeously beautiful style, is still happily entire. Besides this great northern quarter of the palace, there still also remain the interior wall of the east side, and a vast square building about two hundred yards off, supposed to have been a tennis-court, or place for the exercises of chivalry, the marks of the galleries being visible on the walls. While the front is spoiled by its obtrusion on the town, it fortunately happens that the back is very differently circumstanced. In this quarter is a fine large enclosed garden kept in the best condition. At present the house is inhabited by the factor of the proprietor of the estate. Falkland, having been principally used as a hunting seat, ranks perhaps lowest in the splendid list which includes the palaces of Holyrood, Stirling, and Linlithgow. Its appearance, however, and the tradition of its original extent, are calculated to support the theory that the Scottish monarchs were as well lodged as any cotemi^orary princes." The building that ranks next in importance to the palace is the Parish Church, which was erected in 1849, through the liberality of 0. T. Brixce, Esq., at a cost it is said of <£7000. It is a handsome structure surmoiinted by an elegant Spire. To perpetuate the memory of this gentleman for his great liberality to the Parish, not only for this, but for other acts of munificence, a monument has been erected on a spur of the Lomonds, which is seen at a great distance. For some time previous to that gentleman's death, he contemplated erecting a public fountain at the Cross, but was prevented by illness which iiltimately proved fatal, from accomplishing his purpose. His intentions however wei'e faithfully carried DIRECTORY. FALKLAND. 99

into effect by his widow, who erected a handsome fountain, which proves a great ornament to that part of the town. The villages of Freuchie and Newton of Falkland have rather a mean looking

appearance, being built in no regular plan ; and the chief streets being the public road, they are unpaved, and there being no proper gutters, the whole has rather a neglected and dirty appearance. In the former village there is a large power-loom factory, built in 1860. In the town of Falkland and the villages of Newton and Freuchie, the inhabitants are mostly hand-loom weavers. There are farina mills both at Dunshalt and Falkland Road, and a small engineering establishment at the latter place. There is no other particular branch of industry except the usual rural agricultural avocations. In addition to the Parish Church, which has been already noticed, there is a Free

Church at Falkland, and a TJ. P. Church at Freuchie ; there is also an Independent Chapel in Falkland, but it has not been regularly used as a place of worship for a number of years. The educational establishments are, the Parish School a substantial and commodious structure erected a few years ago. There is also an Adventure School, and a Female Industrial School at Falkland under the Patronage of ]\Irs 0. T.

Bruce ; in the latter music is also taught. There is a Subscription School at Freuchie,

which also includes a Female Industrial Department ; the buildings there contain excellent school rooms and dwelling houses for both the Master and the Mistress. The main portions of the buildings were erected a few years ago, and a considerable amount of debt remained, which tended very much to hamper the exertions of the Committee. By the aid, however, of a subscrij)tion and a Fancy Bazaar got up by the ladies of Freuchie and Neighbourhood, the whole debt was wiped off in 1861. The nearest railway stations are Falkland Road, on the E. P. & D. Railway, and Auchtermuchty, on the Fife & Kinross Railway, both being about three miles distant from Falkland. An omnibus leaves Falkland for the former station, twice a day, the exact time being regulated by the railway time tables. The POST TOWN for the whole Parish is Ladybank, with Sub-Offices at Falk- land and Freuchie, Robina Reidie, Suh-Post Mistress, Falkland, and David Webster, Sub-Post 3faster, Freuchie. —A walking postman leaves the Office at Falkland at 5. A.M. and 1.35 p.m., travelling along the road by Newton of Falkland, Freuchie, and Kettle, to Ladybank. He leaves Ladybank on his return along the same route about 8.45 a.m., and 5.30 p.m., and reaches Falkland about 10 A.M., and 7 P. m.

This Parish, containing the large village of its own name, is situated in the extreme north-east of the County. It is bounded by the German Ocean on the east, by the parishes of Leuchars and Forgan on the south, by Forgan on the west, and by the Firth of Tay on the north. Its length south-eastward is about foiu- miles, and its breadth from half a mile to a mile and a half, its narrowest part being at the middle, to the south-east of the town of Ferry-Port-on-Craig. The north-western district is comi^aratively high and rocky, forming the termination of the most northerly spur of the Ochils, which here sinks into the Tent's Muir, a low tract of level ground only about fifteen feet above high water mark, and which stretches from the terminus of the Ochils, in the parishes of Leuchars and Ferry-Port-on- Craig, to the German Ocean. All along the low ground the soil is light and sandy, or with light loam on a sandy bottom, which in seasons not too dry, yields good crops of oats and barley. At the south-western extremity there is an extensive range of links, which affords pasturage chieiiy for sheep, and are besides stocked with rabbits, the annual rent of the warren amounting to a considerable sum. In the north-western district the soil is a black loam on a whinstone bottom, and produces excellent crops of all kinds. There is an extensive salmon fishery along the whole extent of the shore of the Parish, which is in the hands of the proprietor, and still yields a handsome revenue, though not equal to what it was in the palmy days of the salmon fishery. The Dundee fork of the E. P. & D. Railway crosses the Parish, and has its ferry station at the town. The turnpike roads from New- port and St Michaels to Ferry-Port-on-Craig, also traverse the Parish.

The whole of the Parish is comprised in the estate of Scotscraig ; and the mansion of the proprietor, a large and substantial edifice built in 1807, stands amidst pleasant enclosures near the north-west border. At an early period this estate belonged to the Bishops of St Andrews, by one of whom it was feued, during the reign of Alexander II., to Sir Michael Scott, of Balwearie, father of the famous Sir DIRECTORY. PERRY-PORT-ON-CRAIG. 103

Michael Scott ; and it was through that family that the estate received the appellation of Scotscraig. After that period, it several times changed owners, until, during the reign of Charles II., it became the property of Archbishop Shai-p, from whose successors it was purchased by Mr Alexander Colville, the representative of the Lords Colville of Culross. From this family the estate was purchased by the Rev. Robert Dalgleish, D.D., who was minister and proprietor of the whole Parish. The present proprietor is Captain W. M. H. Dougal. The town of Ferry-Port-on-Craig, known also as Tayport, the appellation ajjplied to it by the Directors of the E. P. & D. Railway, stands close to the shore, three and three-fourth miles as the crow flies from Dundee, five north of Leuchars, nearly three east from Newport, and forty-four by Railway north north-east of Edinburgh. With a small exception all the inhabitants of the Parish reside in the town, the exception being those connected with the mansion-house, and the few farms and labourers' cottages in the country parts. The town or village may be said to consist of two parts—the village of Ferry-Port-on-Craig, proper, and the more modem suburb of the "Leys," which is chiefly inhabited by weavers and their families. The town, and even the suburb of the Leys, is divided into three streets, with occasional cross lanes. Many of the houses are substantial and of recent erection, a number of the inhabitants letting out a part of their premises to temporary visitors during the bathing season. The beach, both to the west and east of the village, being very suitable for bathing ground. The town has long been noted for its ferry, and its importance in that respect has greatly increased since the opening of the railway. Great harbour works have been constructed here, to render communication with Broughty Ferry and the north effective and convenient. A deep water basin has been excavated, two hundred yards long by seventy in breadth, with a depth of twenty-six feet of water at full spring tides, and six feet at the lowest tides ; which, with suitable piers, affords every facility for the landing and embarkation of passengers. There is also a landing sUp, similar to those at Burntisland, Granton, and Broughty Ferry, by which waggons filled with coals or goods, are run right into, or out of, the goods steamers without bi'eaking bulk. This excellent contrivance was the invention of Mr Bouch, at one time engineer to the railway company. In 1860, there were shipped here, 30,000 tons of coal, brought by railway from collieries in the west of Fife, 8,602 quarters of grain, and 78 cargoes of potatoes, amounting to upwards of 5,000 tons. During the same year, 328 sailing vessels and 71 fishing boats entered the harbour ; of these 41 were from foreign ports, with cargoes of timber, guano, and grain. There are two saw- mills in the town, one driven by steam and the other by water-power. A number of the inhabitants are employed in weaving the coarser kinds of linen and Jute fabrics to Dundee manufacturers, while a number are connected with sea- faring pursuits, either as shipowners, shipmasters, or seamen. About fifty are engaged in the salmon fishery during the season, and a number in duties connected with the harbour or railway. There is also the usual sjirinkling of tradesmen and shopkeepers, and a comparatively small number of ploughmen and rural labourers. The Parish Church is a substantial edifice, repaired in 1825, and contains about 850 sittings. There is also a Free Church, a handsome U. P. Church, and a small Baptist Chapel. Besides the Parish School, which cannot be called a very suitable building, there is a Subscription School and a Female Industrial School.

This Parish is on the north side of the County, lying on the Tay, and extending nearly five miles in length from east to west, by about one in breadth, except at the western extremity, where it stretches to nearly two miles. It is bounded by the Firth of Tay on the north, by the parish of Balmerino on the east, by Creich, Abdie, and Dunbog, on the south, and by Dunbog and Abdie on the west. The surface for about a quarter of a mile from the Tay is level, or nearly so ; it then rises rapidly, so as to comprise part of the hill range which flanks the Tay, attaining here an extreme elevation of about 750 feet ; and it finally subsides into a valley on the southern border. The Parish comprises about 2500 acres, a small poz-tion of which is in wood and natural pasture. The soil is generally fertile, and in a good state of cultivation. The Parish is almost entirely rural, Glenduckie being the only collection of houses entitled to the aijpellation of a hamlet or village. The whole only comprises seven or eight ordinary-sized farms ; and, with the exception of Dunbog and Moonzie, contains the smallest number of inhabitants of any Parish in the County. There are six salmon fishing stations on the Tay, employing from forty to fifty hands during the fishing, most of whom, however, belong to other parishes, and are only resident during the season ; and the resident population are almost entirely employed in labours connected with agriculture. DIRECTORY, FLISK. AND FORGAN. 107

The Church and Manse are situated on an eminence near the east corner of the Parish, overlooking the waters of the Tay and the finely wooded and highly cultivated Carse of Gowrie. The Church was built in 1790, and contains 153 sittings. Its locality, at one of the extreme comers, is very inconvenient for the inhabitants of the south-western part of the Parish ; to remedy which, Glenduckie was some time ago united, Quoad Sacra, to Dunbog. The Parochial School is situated about a mile west of the Chui'ch, on the road leading from Newport to Newburgh. The only other School is a Female Industrial School at Glenduckie, under the patronage of Joseph Murray, Esq. , of Ayton. This district anciently comprised the Barony of Ballanbreich, or Bambreich, as it is usually pronounced, in the proprietory of the Earls of Rothes, whose old castle of Bambreich, now in ruins, stands on the Tay, on a western point of the Parish, half-way between Flisk and Newburgh. It is a large and very fine ruin, picturesquely situated on a steep bank overhanging the Tay. It is surrounded by a number of very fine trees, and forms a noble object in the landscape, as seen from the water. It has suffered much from the ravages of time, but more from the devastation of man, as it formed a convenient quarry for those who had buildings to erect, either in its own neighbourhood or on the opposite bank of the Tay. There is still, however, sufficient remaining to show its former extent and grandeur. The Barony came into the possession of the noble family of Leslie or Rothes, in the reign of Robert the Bruce, on the marriage of Sir Andrew de Leslie with a daughter of the Lord of Abemethy, its former proprietor, and it remained in their possession for 500 years, when it was sold to Sir Lawrence Dundas, grandfather of the first Earl of Zetland, in whose family it still remains.

The Postal arrangements are in connection with Cupar and Newburgh Post Offices, and Brunton Sub-Office. (See Cupar, Newburgh, and Creich.)

This Parish, which contains the villages of Newport and Woodhaven, is on the northern border of the County. It lies on the Firth of Tay, opposite Dundee, and is bounded by the parishes of Ferry-Port-on-Craig and Leuchars on the east, by Leuchars and Logic on the south, by Kilmany and Balmerino on the west, and by the Firth of Tay on the north. Its greatest length eastward is nearly six miles, and its greatest breadth upwards of two miles. A northern spur of the Ochils runs through the Parish, and presents a pleasing succession of heights and intervening hollows, which in several places such as St Fort and Tayfield, where there is a great portion of fine wood, present a very beautiful and picturesque appearance. The highest ground is at St Fort and Newtown, where the hills rise to the height of 300 feet above the sea. The northern boundary runs along the Tay for about three and a half miles, with a bold and rocky coast, rising from thirty to fifty feet above the beach ; and of late years, along the brow of these rocks, a great number of handsome marine villas, constituting the villages of Woodhaven and Newport, have been erected, which, with their gardens and shrubberies, add greatly to the interest of 108 FORQAN. FIPESHIRE the landscape. These villas are chiefly occupied by merchants and others connected by business with Dundee, who prefer residing with their families apart from the smoke and discomforts of such a large manufacturing town ; and the passage betwixt that town and Newport, per steamer, aflfords every facility for going to and from their places of business. Indeed, Newport may be said to derive its chief importance from the circumstance that, thoue;h separated from Dundee by the Tay, it is to all intents and purposes one of the finest of its suburbs. The mansion- houses are St Fort and Tayfield ; the former is a large, handsome, modern structure in the Elizabethan style ; and the latter, though partly an old building, has entirely a modern appearance, and stands amidst most beautiful grounds, a short distance from the Tay. The soil is generally fertile, the greater part being black loam and clay, but other portions are light and gravelly. There is no manufacture of any importance carried on in the Parish, the working classes in the country being almost wholly engaged in rural labours. There is a number of tradesmen and a few shopkeepers in Newport, and others find employment in connection with the ferry and with the salmon fishings during the season ; but, as we have already said, tbe great proportion of

those residing in the villages have their places of business in Dundee ; and in the Directory will be found a separate list of such parties. A number also let out either a part or the whole of their houses to visitors during the bathing season, of whom a separate list is also given. Previous to the invention of steam navigation, the ferry passage between Fife and Dundee was carried on in small pinnaces, the port on the south side being Wood- haven. About forty years ago, however, the substantial low-water piers at Newport and Craighead were erected, since which period the passage has been conducted by steam-boats. The opening of the E. P. & D. Railway, however, about fourteen years ago, drew away the major part of the ferry business to Tayport, since which period the Newport ferries have lost much of their importance. The roads from Cupar to Newport, and from Ferry-Port-on-Craig to Newburgh, and other good cross-roads traverse the Parish. The Parish Church is centrally situated on the public road, two miles to the south of Newport. The old Church, the ruins of which may be seen at Kirkton,

was a very ancieut building ; and, though situated near the southeastern extremity of the Parish, and away from the bulk of the population, continued to be used as the Parish Church until 1837, when the present building was erected. There is also a Free Church and an Independent Church at Newport. The Parish School is at Friarton, a little to the north of the Church, and may be considered a suitable building, in connection with which there is a Female Industrial Depart- ment. There is also a Free Church School, with a Female Industrial Department, at Newport, and a Female Industrial School, under the patronage of Mrs Stewart, of St Fort, at Seggieden. The POST OFFICE for the entire Parish, the extreme eastern portion excepted, (which is Ferry-Port-on-Craig,) is at Newport, Thomas Webster, Post Master. — Letters from all parts arrive (from Dundee) at 7.30 and 11.30 a.m., and are despatched at 9. 20 a. m. and i. 20 p.

This Paeish, containing the town and Royal Burgh of its own name, is situated on the south-western district of the County, and comprises the ancient parishes of Inverkeithing and Rosyth, which were conjoined in 1636. It is bounded on the south by the Firth of Forth, by the parish of Dalgety on the east, and by Dunferm- line on the west and north, and partly also on the south. The Parish consists of two main parts, the one extending northward in a gently rising slope, and terminating near to the village of Crossgates, and measuring four miles in length, by an average of one mile in breadth. The other portion stretches along the shore of the Forth, extending to about three and three-fourth miles in length, and varying from a quarter to a mile and a quarter in breadth. This belt is intercepted at its south-eastern extremity by the Ferry Hills peninsula, which intervenes between the main body of the Parish and the Firth of Forth. On the southern point of this peninsula stands the village of North Queensferry, which formerly belonged to Inverkeithing, but is now annexed to Dunfermline, though still connected. Quoad Sacra, with Inverkeithing. The rock of Bimar and the island of Inchgarvie, in the Forth, belong to this Parish, and a detached portion of it lies to the west of the town of Dunfermline, and is nearly surrounded by that parish. The surface along the coast is low or undulating, but to the north it gradually and uniformly rises to its northern boundary, which is considerably elevated above sea-level, with a fine southern exposure. The soil is, in many places, rich and fertile, capable of bearing excellent crops, and is in a high state of cultivation. A small portion consists of excellent pasture and fine woodland. Various kinds of stone abound, including limestone, which is pretty extensively wrought. About a mile to the west of the burgh, on the shore, stands the ancient castle of Rosyth, which at one period belonged to a branch of the great family of Stuart, but is now the property of the Earl of Hopetoun. The rock on which it is situated is connected with the mainland by a causeway, which at high water is covered by the sea. The castle is now in a very dilapidated and ruinous condition, the only portion that has to any extent withstood the ravages of time, being the square tower, which formed the north-eastern angle of the building. Tradition asserts that the wife of Oliver Cromwell was bom in this

Castle, and also that Queen Mary at one time resided in it ; which latter state- msnt is so far confirmed by the discovery of her arms and initials over the gate leading into what had once been the court-yard. The only cluster of houses in the Parish, besides Inverkeithing, at all worthy of the designation of village or hamlet, is Hillend, only part of which is in the Parish. The sea-port town and Royal Burgh of Inverkeithing is situated at the head of a small bay of its own name, on the great north road leading from North Queens- ferry to Perth, and is about fourteen miles from Edinburgh, four south-east of Dunfermline, and about twenty-five from Cupar. The Burgh is of great antiquity, the oldest existing charter, which was granted by William the Lion, being only 112 INVERKEITHING. PIFESHIRE confirmatory of one of a previous and unknown date. The charter of James VI., of date 1589, contains a grant of customs from a wide district of country, which in some places are still levied, but a few of the last erected burghs have bought up the burdens thus imposed on them. The Burgh is governed by a provost, two bailies, a dean of guild, a treasurer, nine councillors, and a town-clerk ; and unites with Dunfermline, Culross, South Queensferry, and Stirling, in sending a Member to Parliament. The town itself consists of one principal street, running through its entire length, with numerous lanes branching off on both sides. A considerable number of the houses have an old and rather antiquated appearance, others have been much improved and modernized within the last forty years, while, in the suburbs, are some fine, handsome villas of recent erection. The present Parish Church is a substantial structure, and replaced one of very ancient date. The only other Church is the U. P. Church, which, like the Parish Church, is situated on the main street, near the north end of the town. The Parish School is a handsome and commodious building ; and, in addition to it, the educational wants of the Parish are amply supplied by a Seminary for Young Ladies, two Female Industrial Schools, and an Adventure School. The town contains a com exchange on a small scale, a music hall, a town house, and jail, in front of which, surrounded by an iron railing, stands a curious stone pillar, on which are sculptured the armorial bearings of Queen Annabella Drummond, Robert III. , and David I. Inverkeithing is said to have been, at an early period of its history, the residence of many distinguished families, including even royalty itself. David I. is known to have had a temporary palace in the town ; and an old building, still inhabited, and situated on the east side of the High Street, is pointed out as having been the residence of Queen Annabella Drummond, the mother of the illustrious James I. This building is evidently very old, and from the rounded tower or abutment connected with it, it seems to have been intended for defence as well as convenience. There are in the town, or connected with it, a foundry and an iron shipbuilding establishment, fire brick and gas retort works, a distillery, a tan work, a rope and sail manufactory, and a shipbuilding yard, connected with which is a patent slip, which affords great facilities for repairing vessels. The harbour, although capable of considerable improvement, is safe and commodious ; and at spring tides vessels of 200 tons burden can enter or depart without difficulty. A considerable number of vessels, chiefly from 25 to 400 tons, belong to the port, and are employed to a great extent in exporting coal, which is brought from Halbeath, Cuttlehill, and Townhill collieries, by railways constructed for the purpose. There is no regular trade carried on in the Parish, but a considerable number of the inhabitants are employed at the harbour, and at the collieries and quarries in the neighbourhood ; while a number more are occupied as carpenters in the shipbuilding yard, and at the foundry. A good number are also engaged at the fire brick and gas retort manufactory, and a few are connected with agricultural avocations.

This Parish, containing the villages of Blebo Craigs, Blebo Mills, and Kemback Mills, is situated in the Stratheden district of the County. It is bounded by the parishes of Dairsie and Leuchars on the north, by St Andrews and Ceres on the east, by Ceres on the south, and by Ceres and Cupar on the west. Its length east north-eastward is three miles, and its breadth seldom exceeds one and a half mile. All the northern border is bounded by the Eden. The surface at the western portion is

nearly level, with a gentle declination towards the Eden ; but about the centre it rises into Kemback Hill, which is finely wooded, and beautifully varied and picturesque. Dura Den, a sweet, romantic glen, intersects the Parish, beginning at Pitscottie Mills, and ending a little below Kemback Mills. The Kame, or as it is more 116 KEMBAOK. FIFESHIRE commonly termed, "Ceres Bum," winds through its centre. The rocks here, and indeed generally throughout the Parish, belong to the old red sandstone formation ; and being exceedingly rich in organic remains, form a favourite haunt of the geologist. The chief branch of industry, other than rural, is flax spinning, there being no fewer than three mills, driven partly by water, and partly by steam power. There is also a saw-mill at Kemback Mill. There were formerly some corn and barley mills, but they have given way to flax machinery. There are some excellent freestone quarries on Kemback hill, a portion of which are in the Parish. The entire area comprises about 2200 acres, of which about 1800 are in cultivation, and the remainder in wood and natural pasture. The soil exhibits every variety—clay, black loam, light sandy soil with a dry bottom, and thin gravel, and is upon the whole very fertile. The Parish is well supplied with good roads, and the Dairsie station of the Edinburgh, Perth, & Dundee Railway, is only about a mile from Blebo Works and Kemback Mills. The Parish Church is beautifully situated at the foot of Kemback Hill, about three miles east from Cupar. It is a plain building, erected in 1814. There is a Preaching Station, in connection with the Free Church, in Dura Den, which is supplied with sermon once a month, by the neighbouring dissenting ministers. The Parish School, which is near the Church, is an old building, belonging to the type of School-Houses in general use haK a century ago. There is an Adventure School, and a Female Industrial School at Blebo Craigs, and a School in Dura Den, in connection with the mills at Blebo Works.

The POST TOWN is Cupar, with a Sub-Office at Dura Den, David Hain, Sub- Post Master. —Letters from all parts arrive about 10.30 a.m., and are despatched at 2.20 P.M.

This Parish is in the centre of the south division of the County, and is bounded on the north by Kettle, on the east by Scoouie, on the south by part of Wemyss and Markinch, and on the west by Markinch. It contains the villages of Kennoway, Baintown, Bonnybank, and Star. It forms an irregular paralellogram, three and a half miles in length from east to west, and above two miles in breadth from north to south. The greater part of the Parish lies with a fine exposure to the south, commanding a most beautiful and extensive prospect—the Firth of Forth, with the Bass Rock, the islands of May, and Inchkeith, and the coast south of the Forth, from Dunbar to the west of Edinburgh, being open to the view. From the northern part the view embraces a large part of Fifeshire, and portions of Angus, Perth, and Stirling, and of the Grampian Mountains. The streams which run through the parish are all mere burns, either tributary to the Leven, or pursuing an independent course through Scoonie to the Forth. One of them flows close to the village of Kennoway, through a beautiful picturesque ravine. Between the village of Kennoway and Cameron Bridge, is a round hill, called the Maiden Castle, which seems to have been in ancient times a British fort. Tradition points it out as having been a castle belonging to Macduff, but there is no evidence to bear out the statement. With the exception of about 250 acres, which are chiefly under wood, the whole is in a high state of cultivation, and generally very fertile. There are two mansion houses, viz. :—Kingsdale and Newton Hall. There are in the Parish, two com and barley mills, and a saw-mill, and coal is worked in the eastern district, though of only middling quality. The chief occupations are connected with agriculture and the linen manufacture, but the importance attached to the latter branch of industry is decreasing, the number of hand-loom weavers being much less than it was in 1851. There are a number of miners, chiefly residing in Baintown, and the usual proportion of tradesmen spread over the several Tillages. The southern border is near the Cameron Bridge station of the Leven

Railway ; and the Parish generally is well supplied with good turnpike roads. The village of Kennoway stands in the southern district of the Parish, on the road from Ceres to Kirkcaldy, and on that from Largo to Leslie—two and a half miles west north west of Leven, and about eight miles equi-distant from Cupar and Kirkcaldy. It is built along the top of the very beautiful and romantic den, already alluded to, the sides of which are steep and rocky. Baintown and Bonnybank are

a little to the north-east of Kennoway ; the former has an old looking appearance, the most of the houses being roofed with thatch, but in the latter the buildings •are more modem. Star is a long straggling village on the western boundary.

There are three places of worship, viz. : —-the Parish Church, a Free Church, and

a U. P. Church ; the two former have only recently been erected, and though plain 118 KENNOWAY. FIFESHIRE are neat and substantial structures. The latter is an old building of that type so common to dissenting churches erected from forty to one hundred years ago. In addition to the Parish School, which is a very suitable building at the south end of the village of Kennoway, there is a Female Industrial School in the same village, and a Subscription School at Star.

In this Parish there are Sub-Post Offices at Kennoway and Star, William Thomson Sub-Post blaster, Kennoway, and Andrew Aitken, Star. —Letters arrive at Kennoway about 9.50 a.m., and 6.15 p.m., and are despatched at 6 a.m., and 2.45 P.M. Letters arrive at Star about 9.15 a.m., and are despatched at 9.10 A.m.

This Parish is in the centre of the County, partly in the Howe of Fife, and partly ascending and going over the hills which flank that vaUey on the southern side. It is bounded by the parish of Falkland on the west, by Markinch, Kennoway, and Scoonie on the south, by Ceres and Cults on the east, and by Cults and Collessie on the north. The river Eden traces the western half of the northern boundary, but the parish of Cults, cuts it off from the river at the east border. Its length is upwards of eight miles from north-west, to south-east, and its breadth three miles at the middle, but it contracts greatly towards the extremities. It contains the villages of King's Kettle, Hole Kettle, or as it is more frequently termed. Kettle Bridge, Coaltown of Bumturk, Balmalcolm, and Muirhead. Bankton Park, Myre- side, and Rumdewan are often named as separate villages, but they are merely suburbs of King's Kettle. The arable land, both in the Howe of Fife, and in the skirts and ascent of the hills, is very various in soil, but even the highest grounds are clothed with verdure, and aflford excellent pasturage. The rocks are chiefly of the coal formation ; and sandstone, limestone, coal, and a fine kind of whinstone, are worked. The old road from Kinghorn to Cupar passed tlirough Clatto Den, on the south-west and hilly portion of the Parish, not far from which are the remains of an old tower, which is said to have belonged to a family of the name of Seaton, of whom tradition asserts that they were notorious robbers and murderers, exercising their bloody calling upon the passengers that passed along what was then one of the principal highways of the County. The Parish is traversed by the road from Kirkcaldy to Cupar, by the road from Kennoway, by Coaltown and King's Kettle to Newburgh, by the road from King's Kettle to Falkland, and by the E. P. & D. Railway, which has stations at King's Kettle and Falkland Road. King's Kettle, the capital of the Parish, is about half a mile to the north of the public thoroughfare leading through the Howe of Fife, about seven miles from Cupar, twelve from Kirkcaldy, eighteen from Tayport, and nineteen from Perth. The villages of Balmalcolm, Kettle Bridge, and Muirhead, are all on the great Fife road, the latter being at the south-western extremity of the parish. AU these villages are chiefly inhabited by weavers. Coaltown of Bumturk is on the high ground to the south-east of King's Kettle, and is partly inhabited by weavers and partly by miners. For many years this Parish has been one of the chief seats of the linen manufacture in Fife, but its importance is declining, and the number of hand-loom weavers has much diminished of late years. Agriculture holds the next place in importance to the linen manufacture, and the coal works near Burnturk, and the lime works at Forthar, employ a good number of workmen. is, The name "Kettle," is of doubtful etymology ; and all that can be said of it that in old deeds it is called "Katiil," and sometimes "Catul," and in common phraseology, it is invariably entitled "the Kettle." At one period it was denominated "King's Kettle," from being then the property of the crown, but the prefix ' 'King's" was long in disuse, until, on the opening of the Railway, the directors were induced to adopt the old title, as the name of their station, and the appellation "King's Kettle," is once more coming into general vise. The ancient name of the Parish was Lathrisk, or as it is sometimes spelt in old charters, "Lorresk," from the circumstance that the Parish Church was then situated on the lands of Lathrisk, at the north-west end of the parish, but about 1636 the Church and Manse were removed to the village of King's Kettle, since which period the Parish has received the name of the village. DIRECTORY. KETTLE. 121

The Parish Chiirch, a gothic structure with elegatt tower and pinnacles, was built in 1832, and contains 1200 sittings. There is a very handsome U. P. Church at King's Kettle, erected in 1852, containing nearly 700 sittings. There is also a Free Church at Balmalcolm, for the pai-ishes of Kettle and Cults. The Parish School is a very suitable modern building, in addition to which there is a Female IndustriaL School at King's Kettle, a Subscription School at Kettle Bridge, and an Adventure School at Coaltown.

The POST TOWN is Ladybank, with a Sub-Office at King's Kettle. Thomas Beveridge, Sub-Post Master. —Letters arrive from Ladybank about 9.35 a.m., and

5. 35 p. M. , and are despatched at 6. 20 A. m. and 2. 55 p. M. There are several farms and hamlets along the southern border of the parish, the residents in which receive their letters through Freuchie, Kennoway, and Pitlessie Post Offices, and are thus entered in the Directory.

This Parish, containing the Royal Burgh of Earlsferry, and the villages of Colins- burgh, Kilconquhar, Barnyards, and Largoward, is in the south-east of the County- It extends in an oblong form for about seven and a half miles from north to south, and its breadth, which is nearly five miles at the broadest part, averages about two miles. It is bounded by the Firth of Forth and the parish of Elie on the south, by Abercrombie, Cambee, and Cameron on the east, by Ceres and Cameron on the north, and by Largo and Newbum on the west. The general surface is highly diversified. Rising directly from the beach, at the southern end of the Parish, is Kincraig Hill, about 200 feet above the level of the sea, presenting at its southern front a rugged wall of trap-rock. From the summit of this hill the ground descends until it becomes nearly level, and then gently ascends to Reris and Kilbrackmont, where it is 600 feet above the level of the sea. North of this it descends into a deep ravine, and again rises for two miles, until it reaches its greatest elevation at Dunnicker Law, which is 750 feet above the sea. From thence it declines for upwards of a mile, and again ascends to Bruntshields, at the northern extremity of the Parish. The largest stream is Balneil Burn, which,' though a mere brook, drives several com and barley mills, and a saw-mill, and falls into Largo Bay at Ruddon's Point, on the boundary between Kilconquhar and Newburn. Kilconquhar Loch, lying to the south of the village of that name, is a fine sheet of water, about two miles in circumference. It is screened with wood on three sides, and has long been a favourite haunt of swans. The soil throughout the Parish is veiy variable, but on the whole is very fertile. About 1000 acres are said to be under wood, and there is a considerable extent of land in the north of the Parish under pasture. There are several fine mansion- houses in the Parish, among which is Kilconquhar House, the seat of Sir John Trotter Bethune, Bart. Sir John is a lateral descendant of the noble family of Crawford, and represents the Lindsays of Pyatstone. His predecessor, Sir Henry Lindsay Bethune, was created a Baronet for distinguished services in Persia. Perhaps the most elegant mansion is Balcarres, which is situated a small distance to the north of Colinsburgh, and is the seat of Sir Coutts Lindsay, also a descendant of the Crawford family. The other mansions are, Lathallan, Charleton, Caimie, and Falfield. The family of Gourlay have been proprietors of Kincraig for about six centuries, the first of the family having come from England in the reign of William the Lion. The Parish is traversed in all directions by good roads, and the Kilconquhar Station of the East of Fife Railway is near the south border, a little to the west of Kilconquhar. The principal village in the Parish is Colinsburgh—on the north turnpike road leading from Anstruther to Largo—about six miles from the former, and four from the latter place. It was originally built by Colin, third Earl of Balcarres, who died in 1722, and is named after him. It contains a number of good houses and shops, and a small currying establishment. Kilconquhar and Barnyards are closely contiguous to each other, about a mile to the south of Colinsburgh : they are old villages, and are not of much importance. Earlsferry, which is a Royal Burgh, is on the sea-coast, close to the village of Elie. It is a decayed pla

' in wliich it is narrated that the burgh of Earlsferry was ' of all past memory of men erected into a Royal Burgh," &c. By this charter all its ancient privileges were renewed and confirmed. Its magistrates have the same powers with other magistrates of Royal Burghs, but it does not appear at any time to have exercised its power of sending a Commissioner to the Scottish Parliament. Williamsburgh and Liberty are sonietimes called separate villages, but they are in reality only small and unimportant subui-bs of Earlsferry, beyond the royalty. Largoward is a scattered village, about three miles to the north of Colinsburgh, and is inhabited chiefly by miners, who are employed at the Largoward and Cassingray collieries. The well-being of the Parish may be said to depend chiefly on agriculture ; and the only other branches of industry carried on to any extent, is the colliery at Largoward, and the linen manufacture at Earlsferry, but the latter is now comparatively of little importance. The Parish Chnrch, which is at the village of Kilconquhar, is a handsome Gothic building, with a tower 80 feet high. It was built in 1821, and contains upwards of 1000 sittings. There is also a U. P. Church at Colinsburgh, an Independent Chapel at EarlsfeiTy, and a Quoad Sacra Parish Church at Largoward. There was formerly a U. P. Church at Bamyai-ds, but it has been shut up for some yeare. The Schools are, the Parish School, which is at Kilconquhar, a Subscription School at Colinsburgh, and an Infant School, and a Subscription School at Earlsferry. There is a Bell's School and a Female Industrial School at Largowai'd, and a Seminary for Young Ladies, at Colinsburgh. There are POST OFFICES at Colinsburgh and Kilconquhar for these villages and districts, Mrs Ronald, Post Mistress, Colinsburgh, and Alexander Wilkie, Post Master, Kilconquhar. —Letters arrive at Colinsburgh from Kilconquhar Station, via East of Fife Railway, about 9.20 a.m. and ti p.m., and are despatched at 6 a.m. and 2.30 p.m. Letters i-each Kilconquhar about 9 a.m. and 5.45 p.m., and are despatched at 6.20 a.m. and 2.50 p.m. Postal arrangements for Earlsferry and district are the same as Elie (which see), and for Largoward district same as for Lathones, under Cameron (which see). There is one or two places in the neighbourhood of Peat Inn, the Post Oifice for which is Cupar ; and they are entered as such in the Directory.

This Parish is situated in the northern district of the County, being separated from the Tay on the north by the parishes of Balmerino and Forgan, and bounded by Forgan on the east, by Logie and Cupar on the south, and by Moonzie and Creich on the west. In figure the Parish is very irregular, its length east north- eastward being about six miles, and its greatest breadth towards the west about three and a half miles ; but to the east its average breadth is less than one mile. It is traversed by the old road from Cupar to Newport, and by the north road from Kirkcaldy to Newport. On this latter are situated, at about one and a half miles distance from each other, the two hamlets of Kilmany and Rathillet ; the former being about five miles, and RathiUet four, from Cupar. To the west the Parish presents a pleasing succession of hill and valley, and towards the east it occupies the southern border of a range of hills, and a portion of the bottom of a valley, through which the Motray wends its way to the sea. Immediately north-west of the hamlet of Kilmany, and in the course of the Motray, is a very romantic dell, which appears to have been formed first by a trap-rock disruption, and afterwards by the action of running water. Its banks have been planted with trees, and walks made through it, which renders it easy of access ; and its little waterfalls and overhanging rocks present a very picturesqiie and interesting scene. With the exception of upwards of 1.50 acres, which is chiefly in wood, the entire Pai-ish is arable, and in a high state of cultivation. The principal mansion-houses are Mountquhanie and Rathillet, both of which form pleasing features in the landscape to the west— the former being the seat of David Gillespie, Esq., and the latter of David Carsewell, Esq. The Parish is almost entirely rural, the inhabitants being employed either in agricultural labours, or in trades more or less connected with rural avocations. The lands of Rathillet were the property of the Crown until the reign of Malcolm IV., when, on the marriage of Duncan, Earl of Fife, with Ada, niece of Malcolm, they were conferred upon him by a charter, which is quoted by Sibbald. They afterwards became the property of a family of the name of Hackston or Halkerstone. One of this family was a leading man among the Covenanters, and was present at the death of Archbishop 128 KILMA]*IY AND KILKENNY. PIPESHIRE

Sharp, on Magus Muir, although he took no part in that deed. He was afterwards taken prisoner at the battle of Bothwell Bridge, and executed at Edinburgh. His heirs continued in possession of the estate until towards the close of last century, when it was sold by Mr Hellenus Hackston to a Mr Sweet, by whom it was afterwards sold to the late Mr David Carsewell, father of the present proprietor. The name of the Parish hae become widely known from the circumstance of the celebrated Dr. Thomas Chalmers having commenced his ministry in it. The Parish Church, which was erected in 1768, and repaired in 1861, is situated on a pleasant eminence near the west border of the Parish, and contains upwards of 300 sittings. There is also a very handsome U. P. Church at Eathillet, which was erected in 1860. The Parish School is at the hamlet of RathiUet, in addition to which there is a Female Industrial School at Kilmany, under the patronage of the Misses Thomson, of Kilmany Cottage.

The POST TOWN for the Parish is Cupar.—Walking postmen leave the Office at Cupar about 9.20 a.m., by the roads leading by Foodieash to Kilmany, and by Hillcairnie to Rathillet and Mountquhanie, and both return La time for the afternoon's earliest despatch.

This Parish, containing the inland village of Kilrenny and the fishing village of Oellardyke, is on the south-east border of the County. It is bounded by the Firth DIRECTORY. KILRENNY. 129 of Forth on the south, ty the parish of Grail on the east, by Crail and Carnbee on the north, and by the two Anstruthers and Carnbee on the west. Its length eastward is nearly three and a half miles, and its breadth upwards of two miles. The surface rises from the shore in a gentle acclivity, unbroken by any eminence of importance, and presents to the eye a highly cultivated appearance. Almost the whole land is in a state of cultivation, the exceptions being, a few acres along the shore, which are constantly in pasture, about a dozen acres of common, belonging to the feuars of the Burgh of Kilrenny, and a small portion under wood. Like most of the land in the East Neuk, it is generally highly fertile, and carries luxuriant crops. The rocks chiefly belong to the coal formation, though that mineral is not wrought in the Parish. The roads fi-om Anstruther to Crail, and from Anstruther to St Andrews, besides cross roads, intersect the Parish. Kilrenny is said to derive its name from the ancient Church, which was dedicated to St Irenasus, Bishop of Lyons, whose fame for piety was, in early times, great throughout Christendom. The name, Irenosus, is supposed to have been corrupted first to Irnie, and finally to Renny, which has long been in common acceptation. The Burgh of Kilrenny consists of the two villages of Nether Kilrenny, or Cellardyke, which is on the sea coast, and upper Kilrenny, which is situated about half a mile inland. The latter contains the Parish Church and Manse, the Parish School and School-House, two farm houses with farm steadings, and about a dozen workmen's cottages. It is not, properly speaking, a Royal Burgh, for so far as is known, it never had a Royal Charter, and it holds feu of a subject superior, Admiral Bethune, of Balfour. It seems, however, to have exercised the privilege of sending a member to the Scottish Parliament without any objections ; and at the Union it was classed with the two Anstruthers, Crail, and Pittenweem, in sending a member to the British Pai'liament ; and by the Reform Bill it wap, for the same purpose, conjoined with these bui'ghs, along with Cupar and St Andrews. The magistrates had the ordinary jurisdiction of magistrates of Royal Burghs, until, in consequence of an error in a previous election, it was disfranchised in 1828 ; since which period, all municipal matters have been under the charge of managers ap- pointed by the court of session. Nether Kilrenny, or Cellardyke, consists of one main street running along the shore, eastward from the boundary with Anstruther Easter. It is separated from that parish by a small burn, and apparently forms, along with Anstruther Easter and Wester, only one rather long town. It is one of the most important fishing stations in the County. Its fishermen, who comprise the bulk of the adult male population, are hardy and industrious, and immense quantities of cod, ling, haddock, and herring, are caught by them, during the season. For fishing statistics, harbour accomodation &c. , see introduction to Anstruther Easter. The only place of worship, in connection with the Parish, is the Parish Church,

which is at Kilrenny ; but the Anstruther Free and IT. P. Churches, with their ministers' Manses, and the Free Church Male and Female Schools, and teachers' dwelling-houses, are in this Parish, though within the Parliamentary bounds of the Bvu-gh of Anstruther. In addition to the Parish School, there is a Female Indu.strial School, and an Adventure School in Cellardyke, and a Female Industrial School at Spalefield, on the western boundary, under the patronage of Lady Douglas, of Grangemuir. The Postal arrangements are the same as Anstruther (which see), with this exception, that there is a receiving Olfice at Cellardyke, which closes at 1 p.m. and 8 p.m., and a Sub-Office at Kilrenny, at which letters are received at 10.30 A.M., and despatched at 1.30 p.m.

This Parish, the mainland of which lies to the south-west of Abbotshall, has a sea coast of rather more than four miles, which commences near Burntisland Links, and runs eastward to Kinghorn Point, and then northward to the Tiel Bum, including within its bounds the village of Invertiel, a suburb of Kirkcaldy. Its greatest length is about four and three-fourths miles from the south-east to the north-west, and its breadth, which is above tkree miles at the southern boundary, contracts to one mile towards the north- west. It is bounded on the south and east by the Firth of Forth, on the north by the paiishes of Abbotshall and Auchtertool, and on the west by Burnt- island and Aberdour. It contains the Royal Burgh of Kinghorn, the harbour of Pettycur, the village of Invertiel, and the island of Inchkeith, in the Fii-th of Forth. The general surface exhibits a pleasing diversity of character, with many features to gratify the taste, both of the geologist, and the lover of the picturesque. The rises abruptly, and in others gradually, from interior in some places the shore ; and presents beautiful alternations of height and hollow—of cxiltivated fields and narrow vales—and continues to ascend until, at Glassmont, two and a half miles from the shore, it reaches a height of 600 feet above the level of the sea. Thence to the inland boundary it presents less diversity of character, but still exhibits beautiful knolls and gentle swells. With the exception of about 300 acres, which are chiefly in wood and natural pastvare, the whole is in a high state of cultivation. The soil along the shore, and for a considerable extent inland, is a dark deep loam, and very fertile. In the north-east the rocks belong to the coal

formation ; and lime and sandstone are there worked. In other parts the rocks are chiefly trap. To the north-west of the town of Kinghorn there is a small sheet of water, extending to about twenty acres in area, called Kinghorn Loch. Its greatest depth is thirty feet, and it lies beautifully embosomed among rising grounds. It is well stocked with pike, several thousand pounds being taken fi-om its bosom every year. A few years ago the fine mansion-houses of Kih-ie and

Glassmount were erected ; the other mansions are old buildings. A combi- nation Poors' House for the parishes of Burntisland, Kinghorn, Kirkcaldy, and Abbotshall, stands near the shore, a little to the east of Kinghorn. Contiguous to the town once stood a castle, which was a royal residence, but of which not a vestige now remains. It was in riding from Inverkeithing to Kinghorn Castle, that Alexander III. was killed in 1285-6, an accident which occasioned the greatest calamity to Scotland. At that time highways were mere bridle

paths of the roughest description ; and the road in question wound along the top of the rocks which overhang the sea. The night was dark, and, owing to the stumbling of the horse, the King was thrown over a precipice and killed. The spot where this dire event happened, and which is still known by the name of "the King's wud end," is near a small ravine, half-way between Kinghorn and Burntisland, in which the handsome villa of Kingswood has been recently erected by Adam Johnston, Esq. To the eastward of Kinghorn is Seafield Tower, once the residence of a family of the name of Moiitrie. It is a striking object in the landscape as seen from the Forth. The estate of Grange, which for centuries belonged to the ancient family of Kirkcaldy of Grange, lies about a mile north-east of the town, but is now the property of Colonel Ferguson, of Raith. The old castle of Pitteadie stands upon a hill of the same name, within the. —

DIRECTORY. KINGHORN. 133

property of the Earl of Rosslyn. It is now much dilapidated, not having been inhabited for more than a century. The Royal Burgh of Kiughom lies directly opposite Leith, two and a half miles east north-east of Burntisland, and three miles south by west of Kirkcaldy. Formerly, it was one of the meanest and most irregular of towns, with streets

almost impassible ; but it now enjoys the benefits of many improvements, and its streets are level and well paved. For these improvements the town was chiefly indebted to Mr Thomas Barclay, its active and energetic town-clerk. It consists chiefly of one main street, intersected by others of less importance. Its former public buildings, which were all mean, have been replaced by others of a more respectable appearance. The Town-House and Jail, which are of Grothic architecture, were erected at a cost of £2500. Its conjoined Burgh and Parish School, .situated at the west end of the town, was built in 1829, and has an external elegance and internal equipments of a high order. There are two spinning mills and an extensive bleachfield near Tyrie, about a mile to the eastward of Kinghorn, at which great numbers of the inhabitants are employed. There is also a large corn and flour mill, a brewery, and an extensive glue manufactory in the town. There is an apology for a harbour at the town,

which is of little use except for fishing boats ; but the harbour of Pettycur affords good accommodation for vessels, and was the regular feri-y-station from Fife to Newhaven and Leith, previous to the opening of the E. P. & D. Railway, and the transference of the ferry station to Burntisland. The railway traverses the whole extent of the Parish, from east to west, and passes through a tunnel, 240 yards in length, under the Witch Hill, on which the reputed witches in the olden time were executed. Kinghorn was erected into a Burgh in the

twelfth century, and its latest charter dates from 1611 ; but as a Municipal Burgh it was disfranchised in 1841, owing to local squabbling, and the e.xisting magistracy, or a section of them, allowing the statutory period to elai^se without proceeding to hold an election, according to the sett of the biu-gh, when the court of session placed the affair's of the Burgh in the hands of managers. As a Royal Burgh it unites with Kirkcaldy, Dysart, and Burntisland, in returning a Member to Parliament. The Island of Inchkeith, in the Firth of Forth—three miles south-west of Pettycur belongs to this Parish. Its whole surface is very irregular and rocky, but in many places it affords rich pasture for horses and cattle. Near the middle it rises gradually to a height of 180 feet; and here a light-house with a revolving light has been erected. The light revolves at a height of 235 feet above the level of the F(3rth, and may be seen at a distance of eighteen nautical miles. The island possesses abundant springs of the most excellent water, which is collected into a cistern near the harbour, from which the shipping in Leith Roads can be supplied. In addition to the Parish Church, there is a Free Church, and a U. P. Church, in the town of Kinghorn, and a Chapel of Ease, in connection with the Established Church, at Invertiel. Besides the Burgh and Pari.sh School, already referred to, there is a Free Church School, and an Infant School at Kinghorn, and a Sub- scriiDtion School at Invertiel.

The POST OFFICE for the chief portion of the Parish is Kinghorn, Edward Taylor, Post Master. The Po.st Office for the eastern and north-eastern districts is Kirkcaldy (see Kirkcaldy). There are two daily deliveries in Kinghorn, commencing about 7 A. M. and 4 p. m. Letters for Edinburgh and the south are despatched at 8 A.M. and 4.25 p.m., and for Kirkcaldy about 7 a.m.

FIFESHIRE PARISH OF KINGLASSIE. This Parish is in the Kirkcaldy district of the County. It is bounded by the parishes of Auchterderran and Dysart on the south, by Markinch on the east, by Leslie on the north, and by Auchterderran, Ballingry, and Portmoak, in Kinross- shire, on the west. Its form is irregular, and varies considerably in different places, both as regards its length and breadth. On the north side it is five and a half miles from east to west, but on the south boundary it is less than two miles. At the west border the breadth is u^Dwards of three miles from north to south, but towards the east it is not above two miles. The general surface presents alternately three ridges of varied heights and corresponding valleys, through which flow the

Ore and the Lochty ; while the Leven flows along the northern boundary. Adjacent to the streams the land is flat, and rises by various gradients to the top of the ridges, which are highest on the west, and are of a soft, though varied charactei". The external surface amounts to 7716 acres, all of which are in cultivation with the exception of about one-tenth, which is in wood and natural pasture. The soil is partly a deep clay, partly a light loam, and partly an intermixture of clay or loam, with sand and moss. The rocks are partly trap, and partly of the coal formation ; and coals are worked on the southern boundary. The Parish is traversed by the roads from Kirkcaldy to Cupar, and by that from Dunfermline to Cupar. It has also ready access to railway accomodation, both on the north, the east, and the southern boundaries. The only mansion-house is that of Inchdairnie, the property of Roger S. Aytoun, Esq. It is situated amidst pleasure grounds, to the east of the village of Kinglassie. The Parish is chiefly a rural one, and its main dependence is on agriculture. There are woollen mills at Walkerton and Glenwood, on the northern boundary, where tweeds and blankets are manufactured, but these establishments scarcely aflfect the parish, as they are on the extreme border, and almost all the work people connected with them reside in Leslie. The small village of Kinglassie, containing about 420 inhabitants, is the only one in the Parish. It is situated on the Lochty, about two and a half miles south-west of Leslie, and six north north-west of Kirk- caldy. The inhabitants are chiefly agiicultural labourers or village artizans. It contains the Parish Church and School-House, a Free Church, and a brewery. It has a Parochial and School library, an agricultural society, which meets annually and awards premiums for horses, cattle, &c. , and a horticultural society, the members of which hold competitions in July and September, and award premiums for the best garden produce. The POST OFFICES for the Parish are Kirkcaldy and Markinch, with the Sub- Offices at Leslie, Thornton, and Kinglassie, Miss Pvcaddie, Sub-Post Mistress, Kinglassie. Letters from Kirkcaldy reach Kinglassie about 1 p.m., and are- despatched about 11 A.M.

It is bounded by the parish of Crail on the south, by the German Ocean on the east, by St Andrews on the north, and by St Leonards and Crail on the west. Its length south-eastward is three and a quarter miles, and its greatest breadth two and a half miles. A short distance from the south boundary, and surrounded by the parish of Crail, lies a small disjoined portion, which measures one and a quarter mile in length, by about half a mile in breadth. The farm of Randerstone and part of Grassmiston are in the disjoined portion. The coast is low and rocky, with no bold projection except at Randerstone. The prevailing rocks are freestone, iron-

stone, and limestone ; the latter yielding serviceable blocks of a fine dark marble. It contains no hill, but slopes gradually from the inland boundary to the sea. The surface of the Parish amounts to about 4370 acres, nearly all which are in a state of cultivation, only about 150 acres being under wood, and about 8 or 10 of waste land.

The soil towards the shore is light and sandy, but very fertile ; westward it is generally a deep black loam, in some parts tending to clay. In the western and upper districts the soil is rather inferior, in many places strong and heavy, and partly a thin clay and moorish, lying generally upon a wet bottom. On the whole, however, the land is exceedingly fertile, and the amount of grain and green crop produced are, in

some seasons, almost fabulous ; and the enterprise of the farmers, and the mode of farming carried on, are second to no parish in the County. About half a mile to the eastward of the village of Kingsbams, a sort of harbour or pier has long existed, which covdd only be used during the simimer months, for the import of coal and

other goods required for local consumption ; and some time ago an agitation was got up by the leading men of the district, for the construction of a new and safe harbour,

where farm produce could be shipped at all seasons of the year ; and at present the construction of such a harbour is in actual progress. At present the amount of potatoes, grain, &c., carted to the harbours of St Andrews and Crail is

very great ; and those who have advocated the formation of a harbour for the Parish, maintain that the present annual cost of cartage to Crail and St Andrews would, in a few years, suffice for the cost of a suitable harbour. The Parish is traversed by the road from St Andrews to Crail, and other good

cross roads. There are two mansion -hoiises, viz. : —Cambo, the seat of Sir Thomas Erskine, Bart., and Pitmilly, the residence of W. Tankerville Monypenny, Esq. The latter is near the western boundary, contiguous to St Andrews parish. The village of Kingsbams stands on the road leading from St Andrews to Crail, nearly seven miles from the former, and above three from the latter town. It contains the Church and Manse, the Parish School and School-House, two farm houses with their steadings, and a number of other houses, which are chiefly inhi,bited by agricultural labourers and village tradesmen. It is purely a rural village, entirely dependent upon agriculture for any prosperity it may possess. There is no regular fishing, but a few of the villagers engage in the crab and lobster fishing during the season. At an early period when there was a royal residence at Crail, there were barns in the Parish, where the grain paid to the crown as the rent of the lands was

stored ; and it is alleged that, from that circumstance, the name of the Parish and village is derived The POST OFFICES for the Parish are St Andrews and Crail, with a Sub-Office at Kingsbams, Thomas Anderson, Sub-Post Master. —Letters arrive from St Andrews daily, about 11.10 a.m., and are despatched at 7.10 p.m. Letters from Crail arrive at 7 p.m., and are despatched at 11.15 a.m.

It is said and very generally believed that, in ancient times, a place of worship lielonging to the Culdees existed at Kirkcaldy, and from which the Parish derives its name. It was called Kilculda, the cell or place of worship of the^Culdees, after- 140 KIRKCALDY. FIFESHIRE wards corrupted into Kirkcaldy. Kirkcaldy is a town of considerable antiquity, and was granted by David II., in 1344, to tlie Abbey of Dunfermline as a regality burgb. It belonged to the Abbey until 1450, when the Abbot and community disponed to the bailies and council, and their successors for ever, the burgh, harbour, burgh acres, common muir, small customs, and other properties. It was soon afterwards erected into a free and Roj'al Burgh, and all its privileges were subsequently extended and confirmed by Charles I., in 1644, for "good and gratuitous service done." At this time Kirkcaldy could boast of a hundred sail of ships belonging to its port ; and the evidence supporting this statement is to be found among the burgh records. In the same records it appears that, between the year 1644 and the Restoration, there either had been lost at sea, or taken by the enemy, no fewer than ninety-four vessels belonging to the port, and representing in value the sum of £53,791 sterling. This severe loss tended greatly to check the prosperity of the town, while other occurrences, connected with the unhappy disputes of the period, increased its adversity. In 1622 Kirkcaldy was in such a flourishing state that the community, according to the " gude will and permission" of King James, contributed 1030 merks to the French Protestants, who sent Basnage to Great Britain, to

solicit aid to enable them to resist the oppression of Louis XIII. ; and the receipt of the French deputy is duly engrossed in the Kirk-Session records. Before and after 1650, the town was reckoned so wealthy that the monthly assessments for the maintenance of the military amounted in the average to fully £400. Although Charles I. had, in 1644, extended and confirmed the town's privileges, yet, the inhabitants of Kirkcaldy were among the first to coalesce with his enemies, and publicly to subscribe the Solemn League and Covenant. Some writers have represented this conduct as imgrateful, but we incline to the opiuion that it proved the people of Kirkcaldy to have a thorough idea of religious independence and freedom. They joined the Covenanting party in great numbers, especially the sailors. They fought nobly at the battle of Kilsyth, against Montrose—they suffered gi-eat havoc there, and had no fewer than 200 widows left in the town of Kirkcaldy in one day.

480 men belonging to Kirkcaldy fell in that war ; and, what added still more to their sorrows, was the loss at sea, and capture of fifty-eight vessels, by the English, all belonging to the port. Goods and valuables to the amount of £5000 were also taken and carried off from Dundee, by General Monk, and which had been dejiosited there by the Kirkcaldy merchants for security. During Cromwell's supremacy, and after the Restoration, but particularly in 1682, the distress of the burgh was so great, that an application was made to the Convention of Burghs, to consider its

great poverty, and to adopt measures for its relief ; but the inhabitants had rendered themselves so obnoxious to the Government, that they were further burdened by an addition of 2000 merks to their annual assessment. As the people of Kirkcaldy reckoned themselves but little benefited either from Cromwell or the restoration of the Stuarts, they were deeply embued with the general enthusiasm of the Whigs of Fife, and became zealous supporters of the Revolution. They apprehended the Earl of Perth, —Lord Chancellor—and, after detaining him a close prisoner for five days, under a guard of 300 men, delivered him, under a convoy of three boats and 200 men, into the custody of the Earl of Marr, at Alloa. This exploit became expensive, however, to the town, as they had to maintain the giiard of 300 men for four months, in consequence of information that a body of stalwart Highlanders was advancing to revenge the Earl's apprehension by burning the town. The inhabitants of Kirk- caldy gained a good deal by their conduct in the Revolution, for, as a reward, King William granted them an abatement of £1000 Scots from their annual assessment. This relief had a great effect upon the burgh. Its declining commerce speedily revived, and wealth began to circulate amongst its inhabitants. But again the prosperity of Kirkcaldy was to be retarded. The treaty of the Union almost put a stop to its trade. Its shipping fell entirely into decay, and the wars which followed reduced the trade, in 1760, to only one coasting sloop of sixty tons, ;

DIRECTORY. KIRKCALDY. 141

and two feiry-boats of thirty tons each. On the return of peace in 1763, the shipping trade began immediately to increase. In 1772 it had eleven vessels,

carrj'ing 515 tons and forty-nine seamen ; and, although the American war again hindered its progress, yet it amounted at the close of that war to twelve vessels, carrying 750 tons and fifty-nine seamen. Since then it has made constant and rapid advances, and at present there belongs to the port fifty-six vessels, carrying 6278 tons, and not fewer than from two hundred and eighty to three hundred seamen. Kirkcaldy has, for a great number of years, sent several vessels to the

whale fishery ; while it enjoys a considerable trade both with the Continent, the Baltic, and America. According to the respectable authority of Andrew Fairservice, " Kirkcaldy the sel' o't is as lang as ony toon in a' England ;" and its descriptive sobriquet, the "Lang toon o' Kirkcaldy," is well known. It consists chiefly of one street, running from east to west on the low ground near the sea-shore, about a mUe in length, with several streets and cross lanes, partly running from the main street towards the sea, and partly ascending the high bank to the north. The principal street is in some parts nan-ow, crooked, and inconvenient, but great improvements have been made since 1811, when an Act of Parliament was obtained for widening and paving the streets. The town is finely lighted with gas, and well supplied with water. The shops of various kinds are very elegant, especially drapers' and haberdashers', some of them being on a scale equal to many in the Metropolis. These give evidence, not only of the wealth and luxury of the occupiers, but of the consumers residing in the town, the suburbs, and surrounding district. The town- house and jail is situated in the main street, and is a handsome building in the Norman style, having the town-house and offices in front, and the jail behind. The jaU was once looked on as unquestionably the best in the County, while few could be compared with it elsewhere, according to its extent. It is merely used now, as a police office or lock-up. Although the main street of Kirkcaldy proper is only one mile in length, yet, when it is remembered that it forms part of the street stretching from the western extremity of the Linktown of Abbotshall (as the western suburb is called,) to the eastern extremity of Pathhead, including St Clairtown and Gallow- town, a distance of fully four miles, the appellation of the "Lang toon" is seen to

be well merited : and we are sure no traveller who has passed through it, but is

both astonished at, and wearied by, its great length ; and without hesitation would endorse the description given of it by Andrew Fairservice. The harbour is situated

near the east end of the burgh ; it is large, has good stone piers, but has the disadvantage of being dry at low water. Of late a great improvement has been made in the shape of a wet dock, which allows ships of very heavy burden to come ill, and lie close by, the main street. Kirkcaldy is the seat of a custom-house, the jurisdiction of which extends from St Andrews on the east, to Aberdour

. on the west. It has been long famed for its manufacture of Hnen cloth, i but in 1773 this branch of business almost fell into decay. Mr James Fergus, however, an enterprising manufacturer of the period, succeeded in \ opening up new

; channels for disposing of the manufactures of Kirkcaldy, since which time they

'\ have gone on rapidly increasing. The manufactures of the town and district con- i sist chiefly of ticks, dowlas, checks, and sail-cloth, of all which there is a considerable

I number of manufacturers. There are, also, some steam factories, one net factory,

» and about a dozen spinning mills. There are three extensive foundries and « machine works, one of them—the Messrs Brown's —greatly famed for making printing machinery, all in the town. Bleachfields, rope walks, and other public works, are also in the neighbourhood, chiefly belonging to capitalists and merchant's in that thriving burgh. In 1825 a chamber of commerce was established in the burgh, the principal members being the merchants and manufacturers of the district and, as elsewhere, its object is to attend to the varied interests of the mercantile and manufacturing community. 142 KIRKCALDY. FIFESHIRE

A weekly stock market, for the sale of grain, is held evei7 Saturday, at which farmers, com factors, and others, attend. There are a number of banks, a public reading room, a subscriijtion library, and mechanics' library, all in the burgh. The burgh is governed by a provost, two bailies, a dean of guild, a treasurer, sixteen councillors, and a town-clerk. The magistrates have all the powers possessed by magistrates of Royal Burghs, and jiold regidar courts for the disposal both of civil and criminal cases. The town-clerk acts as assessor. Sheriff courts are also held six times a year, for the recovery of small debts. Previous to the Union, Kirkcaldy sent a member to the Scottish Parliament ; but, after that event, it was conjoined with the neighbouring burghs of Dysart, Kinghom, and Burntisland, in returning a Member to the British Parliament. On the high ground, to the north of the town, is a number of elegant villas, which, with the finely wooded grounds of Dunnikier, and the still more magnificently wooded grounds of Raith, in the neighbouring parish of Abbotshall, add much to the appearance of the town when seen at a distance, particularly from the bay, where, from the south-west or south-east the decidedly best view is to be obtained. In the north part of the Parish is Dunnikier House, the residence of Captain Oswald. This hoiise is not built on the lands of Dunnikier, which are in the parish of Dysart, but was erected in this Parish by the late Mr Oswald, of Dunnikier, on the lands which formerly were part of the burgh muir of Kirkcaldy, Henry Balnaves, of Halhill, who figured in the latter part of the reign of James V., and during that of his daughter Mary, and the regency of her brother Murray, was a native of Kirkcaldy. Kirkcaldy gave birth to the celebrated Adam Smith, author of the "Wealth of Nations," and the "Theory of Moral Sentiments." Hume, the historian, was the intimate friend of this celebrated man, and was often a guest at his house in Kirkcaldy. The Hon. Mr Oswald, of Dunnikier, an eminent states- man and patriot, and who long represented the burgh in Parliament, was also a native of this town. Sir John Oswald, too, deserves notice, who, entering at an early age into the army, bore an eminent part in many valiant achievements. The Parish Church stands on the rising ground north of the main street, and is a handsome structure in the Gothic style. It is capable of containing 1800 persons. The present incumbent is the Rev. Mark Bryden. There are also a Quoad Sacra Church, two U. P. Churches, a Free Church, two Baptist Churches of a most respectable order, and an Independent Chapel, all in the town. At the back of the burgh is the Episcopal Chapel, a most beautiful edifice, of which the Rev. Norman Johnstone is pastor. Education is exceedingly well provided for in the town. In the Burgh School, of which Mr Lockhart is Rector, Greek, Latin,

EngHsh, Mathematics, Arithmetic, Writing, and Drawing, are taught ; Mr Lockhart has several assistants. One of the Schools founded by the late Mr Philp, of Edens- head, is also erected in the burgh, and is an elegant structure. A hundred or more children are educated gratis, and receive their clothing. There are a number of Private Schools in the burgh, besides Boarding Schools, at which young ladies receive instruction in music and other polite accomplishments.

This Parish is on the south coast of the County. It is bounded on the south by Largo Bay, by the parishes of Kilconquhar and Newburn on the east, by Ceres on the north, and by Scoonie on the west. It contains the villages of Upper Largo, or Kirkton, Lower Largo, with its suburbs, Drumochie and Temple, Lundin Mill, Woodside, and New GiJston. Its length from north to south is neaily four and a half miles, and its average breadth three miles. The shore is generally low and sandy, but the ground soon begins to rise towards the north. The general siu-face is very diversified by rising grounds and valleys, and beautifully ornamented with various kinds of wood. The most striking feature in the landscape is Largo Law, a conical hill, with a double summit, covered with verdure to the top, and rising to upwards of 900 feet above the sea. From its top a splendid view of the surroxinding country—the Firth of Forth with its islands, and the opposite shores of the Lothians— is obtained. To the westward of Largo Law a deep ravine, caUed Keil's Den, intersects the Parish from north to south, for about two miles. It is beautifully wooded, laid out with fine foot-paths, and is very pictm-esque. It is a favourite resort with all who visit Largo during the summer, for sea-bathing. The rocks are partly trap, and partly of the coal formation. Coal has long been ^^'T0Ught on the northern boundary, and at one time was celebrated for its fine quality ; but now it is all but exhausted. At present an attemjit is being made to work other coal beds, on Balmain Farm, but as yet the upper or inferior seams have only been

reached ; and the proprietors seem confident of procuring finer coal at a lower leveL There is excellent sandstone in some places, and limestone of excellent quality is also wrought. The total area amounts to about 7000 acres, 6000 of which are under cultivation, and the remainder in pasture and wood. The soil in the north is generally a black loam on a wet bottom ; in the south it is partly of a light character, but more commonly a black loam, sometimes on a wet, and sometimes on a dry subsoil. The chief mansion-house is Largo House, the property of Mrs C. Dundas Durham. It is an elegant edifice, built in 1750, and is situated a little to ,

the west of Kirkton, on a slope, amidst pleasiire grounds, with a southern exposure, and commands an extensive and brilliant prospect. The Barony of Largo was con-

ferred, by James IIL , on Sir Andrew Wood, his naval commander, as a reward for his brilliant victories over the English. The estate has since then several times changed owners, and was purchased by Sir Alexander Durham, ancestor of the present family, in the reign of Charles II. The village of Lower Largo stands on the shore of the Bay, at the embouchure of the Keil, —two and a half miles east of Leven, and about ten to the west of Anstruther. Many of the houses have a decaying look, it being mostly built of red sandstone taken from the sea, which has the defect of gradually crumbling into dust, by long exposure to the weather. Formerly there was a spinning mill at the mouth of the Keil, driven partly by water, and partly by steam-power ; but for some years the works have been suspended, and at present the building is used as an oil and oil-cake mill. There is a small pier at the embouchure of the Keil, which, as a harbour, is not of much importance. In old times a large trade was carried on here

with Holland, and more recently with Norway ; but all that has been long at an end. Upper Largo, or Kirkton, which is about half a mile from the sea, is a fine, clean, well-built village, with a number of good houses and shops ; and we know of no finer village in the County of its size. There is an institution in the village, called Wood's Hospital, for the maintenance of indigent persons of the name of Wood. It originated in 1659, by a bequest of John Wood, a cadet of the family of the celebrated Admiral. The present hospital was built in 1830, at a cost of £2000. It is an elegant, ornamental edifice, in the Elizabethan style, containing accommodation for sixteen inmates. The allowance to each inmate is £15 sterling, with lodgings and a supply of vegetables. Both Lower and Upper Largo are favourite resorts as sea-bathing quarters, a number of the inhabitants letting out a portion of their premises to summer visitors. The village of Lundin Mill is to the west of Lower Largo, and is inhabited chiefly by weavers. The Standard Assurance Co. which, a number of years ago, purchased the estate of Lundin from the late Captain J. E. Wemyss, have greatly improved the estate, and built a number of charming villas at Lundin Links, with the view of inducing respectable families to make

these villas their summer residences ; and, should the attempt succeed, the aspect of the place may, ere long, be revolutionized. The village of New Gilston is on the northern border, and is inhabited chiefly by miners. The Parish contains some interesting antiquities. Within the grounds of Largo House is a circular tower, which formed part of the old castle inhabited by Sir Andrew Wood. On the banks of the Keil Bum, to the north of Largo, is an old square tower, part of the castle of Balcruvie, also, anciently called Pitcruvie. It is supposed that this castle was built by Sir John Lindsay, son of Patrick, fourth Lord Lindsay, of the Byers, as a separate residence during his father's life-time, who resided at Struthers. In the centre of the present house of Lundin, which is a modern erection, is a square tower of great antiquity, which formed part of the ancient castle of Lundin, the residence of a family of the name of Lundin, which held property of great extent in the district, as early as the reign of David II. To the west of Lundin Mill, a little to the north of the turnpike road, are the three "Standing Stanes of Lundin." They are of great age, and bear no trace of any sculpture or inscription. Various theories have been propounded as to their origin, but the most generally received opinion is, that they once formed part of a

Druidical Temple ; and, if so, they must have occupied their present site for a period of about 2000 years. Ancient sculptures have been found in their neighbour hood. A stone cross, with elaborate carvings, stands on a pedestal, on the lawn in front of Largo House. The stone is in two pieces, which were found at places a mile apart from each other, and put into their present position by the late General Durham. Two remarkable natives of this Parish were, Alexander Selkii'k, the prototype of Robinson Crusoe, several of whose relics are still kept by T 154 LARGO. FIFESHIRE a relative in Lower Largo, and Sir John Leslie, the celebrated natural philosopher. The Parish is traversed in every direction by good roads, and the East of Fife Railway runs along the entire southern border, with stations at Lundin Links and Lower Largo. The Parish Church, which is at the Kirkton, comprises part of an old building -with a Spire, built in 1623, and a'new building, erected in 1817. It contains upwards of 800 sittings. There are also a Free Church, at Kirkton, and a U. P. Church, and a small Baptist Chapel, at Lower Largo. The Schools are—the Parish School, at Upper Largo, a handsome new Subscription School, at Lundin Links, a new Female Industrial School, at Lower Largo, and a Subscription School, at New Gilston. There is a weekly com market at the Kirkton, which is held on Thursday. With the exception of a few places, which are so entered in the Directory, the POST OFFICE for the whole Parish is at Kirkton, with receiving boxes at Lower Largo and Lundin Mill, John Man-, Post 3faster. —Letters from all parts arrive about 8.45 a.m. and 5.15 p.m., and are despatched at 6.30 a.m. and 3 p.m. Two walking postmen leave the Post Office about 9 a.m., for New Gilston, Newburn, and other country districts, returning in time for the afternoon's despatch.

This Parish, containing the Burgh of Barony of its own name and the contiguous village of Prinlaws, lies at the southern base of the Lomond Hills, between them DIRECTORY. LESLIE. 157 and the river Leven, which traces its southern boundary, dividing it from King- lassie. It is bounded on the east by the parish of Markinch, on the north by Falkland, and on the west by Portmoak in Kinross-shire. Its length eastward is upwards of four miles, and its greatest breadth upwards of three miles. Besides the river Leven, which traces the southern boundary, two brooks, the Lothrie and the Cambo, drain the interior, the one flowing southward, and the other eastward, until they fall into the Leven, a little below Leslie House. From the northern and north-western border, on the declivities of the Lomonds, the surface southwards to the Leven is generally an undulating descent ; and the whole landscape is pleasingly diversified and beautiful. The area amounts to about 6000 acres, of which about 1000 are pastoral, or uncultivated, and about 350 under wood. Coal and limestone occiir in the eastern part of the Parish, but are not extensively worked. Trap of a very hard kind is found in the west and north, and is extensively quarried for building purposes. The chief land- owners are, the Right Honourable the Countess of Rothes, the Honourable Mrs Douglas, of Strathendry, and John Balfour, Esq., of Balbirnie, whose residence is in the adjoining parish of Markinch. Leslie House, the seat of the Right Honourable the Countess of Rothes, in the south-east of the Parish, was built by the celebrated Duke of Rothes, Lord Chancellor of Scotland, during the reign of Charles II. It originally formed a quadrangle, inclosing an

extensive court-yard in the centre ; but three of the sides were burned down in 1763. The fourth side was repaired, and forms the present house. The present pro- prietrix succeeded to the title and estate on the death of her bi-other, George

William Evelyn-Leslie, the 15th Earl of Rothes ; and, in 1861, was married to the Honourable George Leslie Waldegrave, son of the late Right Honourable William, 8th Earl Waldegrave, Admiral R. N. C. B. Strathendry House, the property of the Honourable Mrs Douglas, is near the west end of the Parish, and is an elegant mansion of modern erection, in the manorial, or Eliza- bethan style. The grounds have been laid out with great taste. Prinlaws, immediately to the west of Leslie, the property of John Fergus, Esq., contains extensive flax spinning, power-loom weaving, and bleaching establishments, partly driven by water and partly by steam-power. These are the most extensive works of the kind in the county—the various mills and buildings, with the numerous dwelling-houses for the work people, constitute, in themselves, a town of considerable size and importance. The western part of the Parish appears to have been the scene of some of the engagements which took place between the Romans

and the Celtic inhabitants, in the third century ; and many Roman and Celtic remains have been found, such as brass swords and battle axes, and stone battle axes, with flat arrow heads, finely formed and polished. Many of these are in the possession of the Honourable Mrs Douglas, of Strathendry. It is supposed by some

that the Caledonians were defeated here by the Romans ; and that the former

retreated to the Lomonds, while the latter encamped below at BalsilUe ; and that the mounds called Balsillie Laws, are remains of works constructed by them. The town of Leslie is on the south-west border of the Parish, on the road from Markinch to Kinross, and on one from Cupar to Dunfermline— three miles west of Markinch, 9 north by west of Kirkcaldy, and twelve south-west of Cupar. Its site is a ridge, or small tableau, adjacent to the Leven, and rising about 100 feet above the level of that stream. At the east end is a fine triangular common, called the

green ; and, in the neighbourhood, are the plantations of Leslie House pleasure grounds. The town is ancient and irregularly built, some of the gables, as in old times, being towards the sti-eets. It is a Burgh of Barony, under the Countess of Rothes, and is governed by two bailies and 16 councillors. It has records extending backwards for 300 years, but they do not contain anything remarkable. Leslie contests with various places the claim of being the locality in which the scene of King James' iDoem of " Christ's Kirk on the Green" is laid; and is supposed to have been, anciently, a place of pastime, much frequented by the princes and nobles of 158 LESLIE. FIFESHIRB

Scotland. The town has doubled, both in size and population, during the last fifty years ; the increase being mainly due to the prosperity of its manufactures, consisting of linens and woollens, flax spinning, paper making, yarn bleaching, &c., in which branches of industry the great bulk of the population is employed, the smaller portion being engaged in the usual handicrafts, and in agricultural employments. Leslie has access to railway accommodation, by the Leslie and Markinch branch Railway, which has a Station at Prinlaws. Fairs are held on the first Tuesday of April, old style, and on the first Friday of October. The Churches are—the Parish Church, a plain structure, built in 1820, and containing 718 sittings, two U. P. Churches, both new and elegant buUdings, and a Free Church. Besides the Parish School, there are a Subscription School, a Female Indvistrial School, and an Infant School, in Leslie, and a handsome commodious School, and an Infant School, in connection with the works of John Fergus & Co., at Prinlaws. The POST OFFICE for the Parish is Markinch, with a Sub-Office at Leslie and a receiving box at Prinlaws, Mrs E. Easson, Sub-Post Mistrests. —Letters from Markinch arrive about 9.40 A.M. and 6.50 P.m., and are despatched at 5.50 a.m. and 2.10 p.m.

This Parish, containing the villages of Leuchars and Balmullo, is on the south-east border of the County. It is bounded by the German Ocean on the east, by the Estuary of the Eden and the parishes of St Andrews and Kemback on the south, by Dairsie and Logie on the west, and by Forgan and Perry-Port-on-Craig on the north. Its greatest length north-eastward is about nine miles, and its greatest breadth five miles. The river Eden and its estuary trace all the southern boundary. The Motray rivulet flows south-eastward from the interior, and falls into the head of the estuary of the Eden, at Seggie pier, dividing, in its course, the Parish into two poi-tions. The Moonzie Bum, flowing from the west, falls into the Motray, a little to the west of Seggie distillery. The sea recedes from the shore nearly half a mile. All the eastern portion of the Parish, stretching from the Eden to the northern border, near the Tay, with an inland breadth of about two miles, is called the Tents Moors, and is a flat sandy tract, abandoned at some recent period by the ocean. It has long been an extensive rabbit warren, and attempts to bring it under cultivation, have met with but little success. The general aspect of the Parish, the western ijortion excepted, is that of an extensive flat, rather bare of wood, with an elevation of only about fifteen feet above the level of the sea. On the western lioundary with Logie, the ground reaches an elevation of from two to three hundred

feet, on the north-eastern spurs of the Ochils ; which, after running eastward from the neighbourhood of Stirling, sink into the level of the Tents Moor, in this and the adjoining parishes. The soil of the level portion embraces every variety, from

the poorest sand to the richest clayey loam ; while the higher grounds on the west U •

162 LEUCHARS. FIFESHIEE is variously gravel, soft loam, and clay. The total area comprises about 10,000 acres, two-thirds of which are under cultivation, nearly one-third under pastm-e, or only occasionally under tiUage, and about 350 in wood. The farms in the central and western jjarts arc very fertile, and the crops raised will compete with any in Fife. The farm of Craigie, in the north of the Parish, is one of the largest in the County. A sandstone of the new red formation occurs near the Edeu, but is not much quarried for building purposes. Trap prevails on the high ground, and is extensively quarried. There are in the Parish, two grain mills, a saw-mill, and an extensive distillery, which has been in operation, at Seggie, for half a century. The Parish at has access to sea traffic through the small harbour Guardbridge ; and the E. P. & D. Railway, and the St Andrews Railway, traverse its entire length, and have stations at Leuchars and Guardbridge. The Parish is also traversed by the road through Fife, by Cupar, to Newport, by the road from St Andrews to Newport, and by the road from St Michaels to Ferry-Port-on-Craig. The village of Leuchars lies on the road leading from St Andrews to New^jort, midway between the two places—five miles north of Ferry-Port-on-Craig, and six miles north-eaet of Cupar. A number of years ago the majority of the inhabitants were employed in linen weaving, but, both in Leuchars and Balmullo, that branch of industry is gradually becoming extinct, the working population being now chiefly employed as village craftsmen, or rural laboui-ers. Balmullo is a scattered village, on the road from Cupar to Newport. A number of the inhabitants are feuars, and rent a piece of land, on which one or more cows are kept. Various objects of antiquarian interest are to be found in the Parish. The site of the ancient Castle of Leuchars is a little to the north of the village, but the castle itself has entirely disappeared. It stood upon a bank of earth on the edge of a swamp, surrounded by a deep broad ditch, which was crossed by a drawbridge. The ditch inclosed three acres of ground, and the castle, previous to the invention of fire-arms, must have been a place of considerable strength. In the early part of the 12th Century it was the stronghold of a Celtic chieftian, of the name of Ness, whose heiress married Robert De Quincy, an English Baron,

who had settled in Scotland ; and it appears to have been the principal residence of their son, Seyer De Quincy, Earl of Winchester, who here held his baronial court, many of his charters being dated from thence. The history of the castle and estate is traced downward through various proprietors, imtil, in the last century, they were acquired by the grandfather of the present proprietor, — Sir Coutts Lindsay, Bart, of Balcan'es. The ultimate fate of the castle is somewhat of a sad one, it having been levelled to the ground, and used as building materials in erecting farm steadings on the estate, and there is nothing to indicate to strangers, where stood this once famed castellated fortress, save a clumj:! of sable yews as if in mourning for departed baronial greatness. Another object of interest is the old house of Earlshall, situated about half a mile to the east of Leuchars. It is beautifully situated amidst venerable trees, and forms an interesting object in the landscape. From initial arms and dates on various parts of the house, it appears to have been built about the beginning of the I7th century, chiefly by WiUiam Bruce, whose initials and arms, with those of his wife, Dame Agnes Lindsay, and the dates, 1617 and 1620, are still to be seen. A descendant of that couple was the "bloody Bruce of Earlshall," whose notoriety as a persecutor, in the reign of Charles II., has given a dubious celebrity to both name and residence. The estate, through failure of male heirs, ultimately came into the possession of

Colonel Long, of London ; since which period the house has been uninhabited. The ruins of the old castellated mansions of Ai-dit and Pitcullo are on the high

grounds, on the western border ; and, from the prominent part taken by their proprietors in tlie early history of the district, are also objects of antiquarian interest. A fine mansion-house was lately built near the ruins of the latter, by the ijresent proprietor, John Pitcairn, Esq. The newly built residence of Robert Thomson, DIRECTORY. LEUCHARS. 163

Esq., of Seggie, and Clayton, the residence of William Pagan, Esq., are on the south border. The Parish Chiirch is also an object of great interest. The eastern portion, no-w forming the belfry and chancel, is supposed to have been the original Church, and is obviously a place of great antiquity. It is a fine si^ecimen of Norman architecture, and is remarkable as the only Parish Chxuch in Scotland now remaining in that early style. Modern additions to that early portion have been made at subsequent periods, which additions underwent a thorough repair in 1859. Shortly after these improvements were effected the heritors, much to their credit, expended a considerable sum of money in putting the ancient fabric at the east end in proper repair, by replacing some of the elliptic arches that had been defaced by the storms of centuries, and completely re -modelling the beautiful arches in the interior, in keeping with their original design. This difficult undertaking was intrusted to Messrs David & Hugh Rose, Architects, BalmuUo, who executed the work in a very artistic and satisfactoiy manner. In all probability this far famed ancient building will now be preserved for generations to come ; a never failing attraction to the antiquaiy and the tourist. The Rev. Alexander Henderson, the celebrated Re- former, was, for the period of sixteen years, minister of this church and parish. The only other place of worship in the Parish is a Free Church, also in Leuchars village. Formerly there was a congregation of Original Seceders in Balmullo, but the members have almost all merged into the Free Church ; and the place of worship is shut up. The Parisli School is a commodious building, in the village of Leuchars ; in addition to which there are Subscription Schools at Leuchars and BalmuUo. The POST OFFICES for the Parish are Cupar and St Andrews, with a Sub-Office at Leuchars, David Jamieson, Sub-Post Master. —Letters from St Andrews reach Leuchars about 7 A.m., and are despatched at 5.15 p.m. Letters from Cupar arrive about 11.20 a.m., and are despatched at 12.25 p.m. A walking jiostman leaves Leuchars about 11.30 a.m., along the road by Milton to Balmullo, thence, by Lucklawhill and the Straitens, to Pickletillum and Comerton, and returning by St Michaels to Leuchars.

It is bounded by the parishes of Leuchars and Dairsie on the south, by Kilmany on the west, by Kilmany and Forgan on the north, and by Leuchars on the east. Its entire length north-eastward is nearly four miles, and its greatest breadth about one and a half mile. It occupies a portion of the eastern extremity of the Ochils, which are here broken into parallel ridges. Its general surface is irregular and hilly, and considerably elevated above the valley of the Eden. The highest eminence is Lucklawhill, near the eastern extremity, which is 626 feet above the level of the sea. It commands an extensive prospect, jsar- ticularly towards the north and east. Tliis hill consists of a yellow coloured felspar porphyry, very hard and susceptible of a fine polish. The summit is compact flesh-red felspar. The total area is upwards of 3500 acres, of which about 2800 are arable, 300 pastoral, or waste land, and about 250 under wood. The

soil varies much ; in many places, particularly on the slopes of the hills, it is a rich fertile loam, while in other parts it is moorish and thin. The hamlets of and Lucklawhill are generally inhabited by feuars and agricultural labourers Logie ; and, at present, the Parish contains neither vintner, tailor, shoemakei-, nor black-

smith : any of the inhabitants who may requii-e the services of such functionaries must seek them in one of the adjoining parishes. The Parish Church is at Logie, and is conveniently situated for the great majority of the inhabitants. There is also a Free Church at Logie, the minister of which ofiiciates alternately there, and at Gauldry in the neighbouring j)arish of Balmerino. The Parish School, which is at Logie, is the only educational establishment in the Parish. The POST TOWN is Cupar.— A walking postman leaves Cupar about 9.20 a.m., and travels along the road, by Denbrae, Craigsanquhar, and Logie, to Kilmany, returning in time for the afternoon's earliest despatch. ;

Markinch, which is in the Kirkcaldy district of the County, is bounded by the parish of Kennoway on the east, by Wemyss on the south, by Dysart, Kinglassie, and Leslie, on the west, and by Falkland and Kettle on the north. A small section, containing the village of Innei-leven, or Dubbieside, at the mouth of the Leven, is cut off from the rest of the Parish by that of Wemyss. This portion is about one and a quarter mile distant from the nearest point of the main body of the Parish. Its length from north to south is about six miles, and its greatest breadth four miles. It contains the villages of Markinch, Milton, Coaltown, Balcurvie, Windy- gates, Thornton, Woodside, Balbirnie Bridge, and Kirkforthar Feus. The soil for the most part is good, and the land fertile. The general aspect is varied and picturesque. From the Lomond Hills, as a background on the north, it slopes gently towards the south and east. It is intersected by four vaUeys, the chief of which are the Ore and the Leven, which unite towards the eastern extremity. The valleys are separated by corresponding ridges of low hills, each chain rising gradually above the other, in the direction of the summit level ; extensive plantations at the same time heightening the natural beauty of the landscape. The proportion of wood

is considerable ; and, being chiefly of the ornamental kind, and in the vicinity of gentlemen's seats and villas, is so disposed as to produce the most favourable effect. The rocks are of the coal formation, with outbursts of trap, and accumul- ations of diluvium. Coal has been long extensively worked, both at Balgonie and

Balbirnie ; but that valuable mineral, at the latter place, is becoming gradually exhausted. The water power, on the Ore and Leven, has greatly tended to develops all kinds of public works in the Parish ; and it is difficult to say whether its agricultural, its manufacturing, or its mineral interests are the most important. Among the leading public works may be mentioned—the paper mills at Balbirnie Bridge,

Rothes, and Auclimuty ; the flax and tow spinning mills at Milton, Haugh MUl,

Thornton, and Sythrum ; the bleachfields at Rothes, Balgonie, Lochtyside, and

Kirkforthar Feus ; a woollen manufactory at Balbirnie Bridge ; and a power-loom linen factory at Milton. There are also a number of corn, flour, and saw mills, in the Parish, and a large distillery and malting establishment at Cameron Bridge and, if we take into account the weaving of linens, which is carried on to some extent in nearly all the different villages, the whole presents an aggregate amount of industrial and commercial enterprise, second to that of no parish in the County. Nor must the agricultural interest be overlooked, which, for extent and enterprise, is surpassed by only a few parishes in the County. The Parish is traversed from south to north, by the E. P. & D. Railway, westward by the Leslie and Markinch Railway, and eastward by the East of Fife Railway, which have stations at Markinch, Cameron Bridge, and Thornton. The Parish is also traversed in all dii'ections by turnpike and statute labour roads. DIRECTORY. MARKINCH. 167

One of the principal objects of antiquarian interest in the Parish is Balgonie Castle, situated a little to the west of the village of Milton, on the banks of the Leven, about 36 feet above the level of the stream. The buildings are obviously of diiJerent ages, but the castle was lately in repair, and formed one of the residences of the Earls of Leven within the last 75 years. The great tower is the most ancient portion, and was probably built in the 14th or 15th century. It is 80 feet high, with battlements at the top, and is 45 feet in length by 36 in breadth over the walls. The walls of the two lower stories, which are arched with stone, are eight feet thick. The remaining buildings form an extensive quadrangle, inclosing a court. Balfour House, the residence of Admiral C. R. D. , Bethune

(C. B. ), is a short distance to the east of Balgonie Castle, and south-east of the village of Milton. It is an old building surrounded by fine plantations and inclosures. The picture gallery contains an original portrait of the celebrated Cardinal Beaton, and another of Mary Beaton, one of the Queen's four Maiys. At Kirkforthar, on the northern boundary, are the ruins of a Chapel, which once existed, but was suppressed previous to the Reformation. The remains are in the middle of an old burying-ground, which is inclosed by a wall, and where many of the people connected with the locality still bury their dead. Of antiquities supposed to be of a still more early date, may be mentioned an ancient cross, which stands on a rising ground to the north of Markinch village, and near the garden entrance to Balbimie. It is a broad slab, about seven feet high, but without any carving so far as can now be discerned. Immediately east of this cross, and on the opposite side of the public highway, is a small hill of an oblong shape about 200 yards in length, called Markinch Hill. It is remarkable from the circumstance that its northern declivity presents six regular Terraces at different heights, about 20 feet broad, and extending the whole length of the hill. The origin of, and the object for which these terraces were formed, is disputed by antiquarians, but it is evident that they are artificial. Formerly these terraces were seen on entering Markinch from the north, but the hill was planted with wood by the late General Balfour, which, in a great measure, conceals them from public view. The finest Mansion in the Parish is Balbii-nie House, the residence of John Balfoui-, Esq. It is situated a little to the north-west, of Markinch, in a sheltered valley amidst beautiful and extensive grounds, richly wooded. The village of Markinch stands on the road leading from Leven to Kinross, and a little to the eastward of that from Kirkcaldy to Cupai'. It is about eleven miles south south-west of the latter, seven north from Kirkcaldy, and about half a mile north from the banks of the Leven. The junction of the Leslie and Markinch, with the E. P. & D. Railway, is at the south end of the village. The site of the original village is the summit and slope of a gentle eminence, which, in ancient times, was surrounded by water, and, more recently, by a deep morass. The etymology of the word, " Markinch," leads us to infer that, when the original Church was built, the whole country beyond the zone of water was a dense forest, Mark signifying in the Celtic language, forest, and Inch, island, that is, the forest island. The morass was long ago drained, and the ground in many places covered

with buildings ; but peat of many feet in thickness ia found on digging tlirough the surface soil. The working population of the village are chiefly employed at the public works on the Leven. The village of Milton, about a mile and a half from Markinch, is built on both sides of the road leading to Leven. The inhabitants are chiefly employed at the spinning mill and power-loom factory in the village. Balcurvie and Windygates are small villages, about two miles from Leven. A number of the inhabitants are feuars, and others are employed at the distillery and spinning mill, at Cameron Bridge and Haugh Mill. Coaltown, about half-way between Markinch and Thornton, is chiefly inhabited by miners employed at the Balgonie colliery. Thornton is a large village on the south-western border, on the turnpike road from Cupar to Kirkcaldy, and about four miles from the latter town. 168 MARKINCH. FIFESHIRB

The junction of the E. P. & D. Railway with its Dunfermline branch, and the Leven and East of Fife Railway, is a short distance east of the village. Dubbieside, or Innerleven, is an old village, which we have already described as in the detached section of the Parish ; and is, generally, more connected with Scoonie than with Markinch. Woodside and Kirkforthar Feus are small villages on the

Cupar and Kirkcaldy turnpike road ; the former about a mile south-west of Markinch, and the latter near the northern boundary. The Parish Church, which is at Markinch, was enlarged and partly rebuilt in 1806. It contains upwards of 1000 sittings. Its Tower is evidently of great antiquity, but the date of its erection is unknown. The Spire was added to the tower about forty years ago. There are also Chapels of Ease, in connection with the Established Church, at Thornton and Milton. There are a U. P. Church and a Free Church in the village of Markinch, and a U. P. Church at Innerleven. The Parish is well supplied with good Schools. In Markinch there are the Parish School, a Free Church School, and a Female Industrial School, under the patronage of Lady Georgina Balfour, of Balbirnie. There are Subscription Schools at Milton, Coaltown, Balcurvie, Thornton, and Kii-kforthar Feus, and a Colliery School, in connection with the Balbirnie collieries, at Eglinton Square. The POST OFFICES for the Parish are Markinch, Windygates, and Leven, with Sub Offices at Thornton, Coaltown, and Milton, Mrs William Hutchison, Post Mistrtss, Markinch, Peter Smith, Post Master, Windygates, Mrs Philp, Sub-Post Mistress, Milton, Mrs Hamilton, Sub-Post Mistress, Coaltown, and Alexander Wood, Sub-Post Master, Thornton. —Letters from all parts arrive at Markinch about 8 a.m., and 4.30 p.m., and are despatched at 7.20 a.m., and 3.50 p.m. Walking Postmen leave about 8.30 a.m. for Star, Milton, and Coaltown, retm^ning in time for the afternoon's despatch. Letters arrive at Windygates about 8.20 a.m., and 5 p.m., and are despatched at 7.10 a.m., and 3.20 p.m. Letters from Kirkcaldy arrive at Thornton about 11 a.m., and are despatched at 2 p.m. The Postal Arrangements for Innerleven are the same as Scoonie, which see.

This Parish, which lies on the north side of the "Howe of Fife," is bounded on the east by Oupar, on the south by Cults and Collessie, on the west by Collessie and Abdie, and on the north by Dunbog, Creich, Moonzie, and Cupar. Its length south south-eastward is six miles, and its greatest breadth four miles. It contains the village of Letham, and the serveral hamlets of Monimail, Bow of Fife, and Easter Femie. The northern part consists of a fine range of hills, the highest of which

. is called the Mount Hill. The southern portion is comparatively level, but diversified by soft and gentle undulations, beautifully wooded, and well cultivated and inclosed. The prevailing rock in the northern district is trap, but the rocks of the southern section comprise some sandstone, and belong to the coal formation. The soil in the north is partly a mixture of decomposed trap and vegetable mould,

and partly a clayey loam, less fertile than the former ; and that in the south is generally a light thin alluvium, superincumbent on gravel. The total area amounts to about 6000 acres, a large proportion of which is under cultivation, and the remainder in pasture or wood. There is no public work or manufacture of any kind carried on in the Parish. Among the mansion-houses is Femie Castle, in the north of the Parish, close by the northern turnpike road leading from New Inn to Newport. It is a place of great antiquity, and, being formerly surrounded by marshy ground, must have then been a place of considerable strength. Cunnoquhie, the residence of William Pitcaim, Esq., is a little to the west of Fernie, and is a good modern mansion, amidst well laid out grounds. Melville House, the residence of Lady Elizabeth Leslie Cartwright, eldest daughter of the late Earl of Leven and Melville, and heiress of his entailed estates, is near the west border of the Parish. It was erected in 1692, by George, 1st Eail of MelvUle, in the fashion then prevalent in Scotland. It is a large square building, consisting of two principal stories, and a basement and attic. Two deef) projecting wings enclosed a court at the

original front ; but that has since been changed, and a new entrance made at what was formerly the back elevation. The name of Melville, as applied to the house

and grounds, is comparatively modern ; for the park and inclosures include part of the lands of Halhill, Letham, and Monimail. Anciently, the lands of Monimail belonged to the Bishops of St Andrews, who there had a castle, originally built by Bishop William Lamberton, who died in 1328. Cardinal Beaton repaired the castle and resided in it, in 1562. The square tower belonging to it still stands within the inclosures of Melville gardens, and is in such a state of preservation as to be habitable as a residence for the journeyman gardeners. Over, or Upper Rankeillour is a very elegant house, built by General John Hope, 4th Earl of

Hopeton ; and the grounds around it are magnificently wooded. The mansion of Balgarvie, at the eastern extremity, is a modern building, plain and commodious. A monumental pillar^ to the memory of the late Earl of Hopeton, stands on the summit of the Moxint Hill. It is a plain Doric column, 92 feet in height, and surmounted by a square capital of 15 feet. It is hollow within, and has a naiTow spiral staircase, by which there is an ascent to the top, from whence a fine view of the valley of the Eden, and of the Firths of Forth and Tay, is obtained. The Mount, near to the Moiint HiU, was the residence of Sir David Lindsay, Lord-Lyon- King-at-Arms, in the reign of James V. It is now the property of Mr Hope, of RankeiUour. The Parish is traversed by the north turnpike road from New Inn to Newport, and by the roads from Cupar to Newbiu-gh and Fernie Mill. It has also ready access to the E. P. & D. Railway, by the stations at Cupar, Collessie, and Ladybank, though the railway intersects no part of the Parish. The village of Letham is in the western section of the Parish, near to the turnpike road leading from New Inn to Newport. Most of the inhabitants are either —

174 MONIMAIL. FIFESHIEE linen weavers, village artizans, or agricultural labourers. The Bow of Fife, Moni- mail, and Easter Feniie, are small hamlets, in opposite sections of the Parish. The Parish Church is at Monimail, on the western border, a locality not very suitable for those who live in the eastern section of the Parish. It was built in 1796, and is a rather handsome building with a tower, and contains nearly 600 sittings. The only other place of worship is a Free Church, at the Bow of Fife. The Parish School is at Letham, in which village there are also a Subscription School and a Female Industrial School. There is also a Subscription School at Femie, and a Female Industrial School at Bow of Fife. The POST OFFICES for the Parish are Ladybank and Cupar, with a Sub-Office at Letham, William Ballingall, Sub-Post Master. —A walking postman leaves Lady- bank about 8.45 a.m., and delivers letters along the road by Collessie, Monimail,

This Parish is in the Cupar district of the County. It is bounded on tlie south by the parish of Monimail, on the east by Cupar and Kilmany, on the north by Kilmany and Creicli, and on the west by Creich. It contains the smallest number of inhabitants of any parish in the County, and is also the most diminutive

in size of any rural parish ; being barely two miles in length, by one and a half at its greatest breadth. Its sur^ce presents a pleasing diversity of hill and dale, and has an extreme elevation of 400 feet above the sea. Several beautiful eminences are situated in the west, the descent from which is a gentle slope, terminating in a considerable valley. A few acres on the

top of Colluthie Hill are rocky, and have been planted with trees ; but otherwise the Parish is nearly destitute of wood. An extensive marsh formerly existed on the farm of Lordscairnie, but it was drained about 60 years ago, and

converted into arable land ; and all the rest of the surface is excellent soil, partly a strong clay, but chiefly a black loam, in a high state of cultivation. The prevailing rock is trap, in the condition popularly called rotten. An interesting

antiquity is Lordscairnie Castle, commonly called Earl Beardie's Castle ; and is said to have been built by Alexander, 3d Earl of Crawford, commonly called Earl Beardie, from his great lieard. All that now remains of it is the keep or donjon, and a round tower, which had formed a defence for the wall by which the court- yard was surrounded. This ruin is four stories high, and appears to have lost nothing of its original height, with the exception of the bartizan which surrounded its roof. It is 53 feet in length, and 42 in breadth out.side the walls. The walls are strongly built, and are from five to six feet thick. The ground floor, as is common in such structures, appears to have been entirely occupied by cellars, having arched stone roofs. The second floor was occupied with the great hall, which is 40 feet in length, by above 20 in breadth. The defence of the castle and its outworks was anciently strengthened by a broad morass, which appears to have entirely surrounded the slight rising ground on which they were situated. Another object of great antiquity is the House of Colluthie, the property of John Inglis, Esq. The date of its erection is unknown, but it must be a very old building. It is chiefly remarkable for the great thickness of its walls, and for some arched doors and windows. It long stood in a neglected and nearly

uninhabitable state ; but was repaired a number of years ago, so as to become a good mansion. The Parish is entirely rural, the small number of inhabitants being all connected 176 MOONZIE AND NEWBURGH, TIFESHIBE

with agricTilture. There is not a public house nearer than Cupar ; and any of the parishioners in want of a taUor or shoemaker, must seek these functionaries in the neighbouring parishes of Cupar or Creich. The only place of worship is the Parish Church, which stands on a rising ground in the south-west border. It is a small, plain, old building, with 17Q sittings. The Parish School is a little to the east of the Church, and is the only School in the Parish.

The POST OFFICE for the Parish is Cupar. —A walking postman leaves Cupar about 9.20 a.m., delivering and collecting letters along the road by Moonzie to Luthrie, in the Parish of Creich, and returns along the same road in time for the afternoon's earliest despatch.

This Parish, containing the Royal Burgh of Newburgh, forms the boundary of the County on the north-west border. It is of a very irregular form, a portion of it lying along the margin of the Tay, while the remaining section stretches to the south, across the ridge of the Ochils. The whole has the appearance of an ill- shaped boot, or of the letter L, inverted. The portion which stretches along the

Tay is about two miles in length, by scarcely a half in breadth ; while the other portion is nearly three miles in length from north to south, by three quarters of a mile in breadth. It is bounded on the north by the Tay, on the west partly by the parish of Abdie, and partly by that of Abemethy in Perthshire, and on the south by Abemethy, Auchtermuchty, Collessie, and Abdie. The northern section is a beautifullevel along the shore of the Tay, where the town of Newbvirgh is situated, and which is finely wooded in various parts of its surface. The southern portion,

which occupies the ridge of the Ochils, is an alternate series of hills and valleys ; the former in one place, Craigsparrow, rising as high as 600 feet, and in another, the Blackcaim, 800 feet above the sea. The soil of the flat district is a very fertile

clay, equal to that of the best parts of the Carse of Gowrie ; while that of the upper district is, for the most part, either a loose black loam, or a more compact

ferruginous mould ; and, although shallow, is very fertile. The prevailing rock is trap. The whole area is about 1100 acres, of which about four-fifths are under cultivation, about 40 acres are occupied as orchards, and the remainder is either pastoral land, or waste, or under wood. The orchards owe their origin to the Monks of Lindores. The Parish enjoys good sea-ward communication through the

port of Newburgh ; and it is traversed by the turnpike road from Cupar to Perth, and by the Perth fork of the E. P. & D. Railway, which has a station at the town. The antiquities connected with the Parish are both numerous and interesting. At the north-eastern extremity, in the vicinity of the town, on a gentle rising ground in the midst of the rich clay lands near the Tay, stand the ruins of the ancient i^bbey of Lindores. This monastery was founded, in 1178, by David, Earl of Huntingdon, brother of William the Lion, and heir presumptive to the Scottish throne, in commemoration of his escape from shipwreck, and of his having taken Ptolemais from the Saracens, during a crusade in the Holy land. He planted it

with monks of St Benedict brought from Kelso ; and, in course of time, it became ;

DIRECTORY. NEWBURGH. 17?

one of the richest and most important Abbeys in the kingdom. The buildings

appear to have been grand and extensive ; but those shared in the devastations of the Reformation epoch, and after that period, were used as a quarry for erecting

or repairing the houses of Newburgli ; so that they now retain scarcely a trace of tlieir ancient grandeur. The polished ashlar stones of the walls have been almost

all removed ; parts of the mere skeletons of the walls, consisting only of small

stones and lime matted over with ivy, now form their chief bulk ; and the arched entrance to the cloisters is the only part which retains any sort of preservation. The inclosing wall of the precincts, however, is still pretty

entire ; and, within the inclosure, and in its immediate vicinity, are fine old fniit trees, thij relics of the taste and pursuits of the monks. A little to the west of the town stands a curious antiquity called Mugdrum cross. It consists of an upright square stone pillar, fixed into a large oblong stone base. It is supposed, originally,

to have had transepts, making it literally a cross ; but it long ago lost the transepts themselves, and the marks of their connection with the shaft. It exhibits the mutilated figm-es of animals carved on its eastern face. The southern and the western faces have been so injured by time, that no carving can now be traced on

them ; and the northern face exhibits only such ornamentation as is common in very ancient standing stones. It is altogether a remarkable monument, though nothing is known of its origin or history. A still more interesting relic of a by- gone age is the remains of Macduff's cross, situated on the high grounds to the south-west of the town, and near the site of the old road leading across the hills to Auchtermuchty. The site of this object of antiquity is a hollow in the face of the

hills, commanding an extensive prospect of the lower part of Strathearn ; and, when in a complete condition, must have been seen at a great distance. All that now remains is a mass of freestone, measuring about three feet square, resting on a summit of earth. From its appearance it is impossible to say what was its original figure, but tradition asserts that it was of considerable height, and covered with a rude inscription. In early times this cross was a sanctuary, or place of refuge, to any person related to Macduff, Thane of Fife, within the ninth degree and who having committed homicide without premeditation, obtained a remission of his guilt by flying to this cross and paying a certain fine, and performing certain penances. Such at least is the account generally given by our old historians. There are some tumuli around the pedestal, which are said to have been the graves of those who, having claimed the privilege of the law, and failing to prove their relationship to Macduff, were instantly executed. At what period the law of Macduff ceased to be recognisable, is not known. The only mansion-houses in the Parish are Pitcairly and Mugdnim. The former is the residence of Robert Cathcart, Esq., and lies in a glen among the hills, near the turnpike road from Newburgh to Auchtermuchty. The latter is a large heavy- looking building, erected in 1786, but is beautifully situated near the Tay, amidst extensive and very fine old woods. Newburgh, the capital of the Parish, a seaport and a Royal Burgh, is ten miles north-west of Cupar, about eleven south south-east of Perth, and seven and a quarter north-west of Ladybank. A great number of the houses are of recent erection, and even the oldest existing parts have been nearly all rebuilt within the last seventy years. The body of the town consists of one well-built street, about half a mile in length, of a range of hoixses fronting the harbour, and of some lanes leading down to the shore. A modern suburb on the south, cal'.ed Mount Pleasant, is within Abdie parish. Both the shops and principal dwelling-houses indicate considerable tast^ and prosperity on the part of the owners. Its situation on the

Tay is exceedingly pleasant ; and, both from its appearance with garden and fruit

1 trees among the houses, and from the rich, romantic, gay appearance of its environs, it presents a fine picture to observers, when viewed either from the Tay or from the railway. The principal building is the Town-House, with a Spire, erected in 1808. W 178 NEWBUBGtH. FIFESHIRE

Newburgh has made extraordinary strides, both in wealth and importance, within the last eighty years. Previous to 1780 the trade and manufactures of the town

were comparatively limited ; but, since that period, the linen trade has made astonishing progress, which at present may be,said to liave reached its maximum, the manufacturers not only supplying almost all the looms in the district, amounting to upwards of 550, but also agents in many of the neighbouring towns and villages. A considerable trade in grain is also carried on, and a weekly market is held on Thursday for the sale of corn. The harbour consists of a long pier, parallel to the river, and four jetties at right angles to it. There are always here considerable bustle, and not a little real business. There are 20 vessels belonging to

the port, of the aggregate burden of 1256 tons ; and one packet is regularly engaged in conveying raw material and manufactured produce between the town and Dundee. The pi'incipal other exports consist of lime, grain, and potatoes, and the imports of timber, coal, and miscellaneous goods. Although Newburgh is a Royal Burgh, it

does not exercise the privilege of returning a Member to Parliament ; and, so far

as parliamentary rights are concerned, it forms merely a part of the County : otherwise it has all the privileges of a Royal Burgh. It was originally a Burgh of Barony, under the Abbots of Lindores, and was first erected into a Royal Burgh in

1456 ; and in 1631 its ancient privileges were confirmed by Charles I. It is governed by two bailies and fifteen councillors, with a town-clerk. The royalty extends a mile and a half to the south and west of the town, but excludes the harbour and extensive suburbs. The places of worship are, the Parish Church, a handsome building, erected in 18.33, and containing about 1000 sittings, and two U. P. Churches. There is a Free Church for Newburgh and Abdie, but it is situated at Burnside, in Abdie parish, about half a mile to the east of the town. Besides the Parish School, there are a School in connection with the U. P. Church, a Madras Female School, and two Female Industrial Schools.

This Parish, containing the village of Drumeldrie, lies on the south coast of the County. Its length is three miles from north to south, and its greatest breadth one and a half mile. It is bounded on the south by Largo Bay, on the east by the parishes of Kilconquhar and Elie, on the north by Kilconquhar and Largo, and on the west by Largo. The shore is flat and sandy, but the interior surface rises northwards and westwards until it reaches its highest ground at the north-west boundary,

on the eastern acclivity of Largo Law ; and, both within itself and outward from it, is a brilliant assemblage of hill and dale—of woods, and rocks, and waters. The total area comprises about 3222 acres, of which about 2560 are under cultivation, and the remainder is either waste, or in pasture and wood. The Parish is traversed by the roads from Largo to Anstruther and St Andrews. The East of Fife Railway runs along near the southern border, and the stations at 182 NEWBURN AND PITTENWEEN. FIFESHIRE

Kilconqntar and Largo, are at convenient distances from all sections of the Parish.

With the exception of the village of Drumeldrie, the Parish is all rural ; and indeed most of the villagers, in some way or other, depend upon agriculture for employment and support. The only place of worship is the Parish Church, which was erected in 1815. It is a commodious building, and conveniently situated for the bulk of the population. The Parish School is towards the weStem border, a little to the north of Drum- eldrie, and is the only School in the Parish. In addition to the usual emoluments,

the Schoolmaster has a liberal allowance for teaching poor children ; the estate of Orkie, in the Parish of Kettle, having been mortified 200 years ago, by its then proprietor, John Wood, Esq., for the purpose of erecting and maintaining a Free Grammar School within this Parish, for poor children of the name of Wood, or

Wood's bairns, which has existed for 201 years ; but about a century ago this was joined to the Parochial School, so that one teacher serves both. He has the maximum salary as Parochial teacher, and between £200 and £300 for boarding, clothing, and teaching four poor boys, who enter at seven, and leave at fifteen years of age. The POST OFFICES for the Parish are Colinsburgh and Largo. Those residing in the eastern section receive their letters by Colinsburgh, and those in the western section by Largo. See postal notices for Largo and Colinsburgh.

This small Parish, containing the Royal Burgh of its own name, is on the south- east coast of the Coimty. It is bounded on the soiith by the Firth of Forth, on the west by Abercrombie, on the east by Anstruther Wester, and on the north by that parish and Abercrombie. Its length eastward is one and a half mile, and its breadth a half mile. Its surface is flat, and its soil generally a very fertile black loam. Its rocks belong to the coal formation, and at one period that mineral was extensively worked, but the works have long been abandoned. Abundance of

excellent coal, however, stiU exists in the Parish ; and capital and enterprise are only awanting to re-commence this very valuable branch of industry. The town of Pittenweem is a seaport and a Royal Burgh. It stands on the sea- shore of the Parish, on the road from ELie to Crail—one mile west south-west of DIRECTORY. pittenweem:. 183

Anstruther, ten and a half south south-east of St Andrews, and five east from the Kilconquhar station of the East of Fife Railway, which is as yet the nearest railway station. The town consists of a street running eastward, with the Parish Church standing near the east end, a street fronting the harbour, a newer street running parallel to these, on a line with the turnpike road, and several intersecting lanes running north and south. A cave about 86 feet long, and divided into two compartments, gives name to one of the lanes leading from the High Street to the Shore. Many of the houses are substantial and neat ; some of the shops are excellent, and the whole place looks cleanly, comfortable, and respectable. The harbour has a south-west entrance, and consists of an outer harbour and an inner basin. It has been much improved of late ; and at present the town council contemplates such additional improvements and new works, as will make it accessible to small vessels at all hours of the tide. A number of sloops and schooners belong to the harbour, and the shore dues amount to upwards of £200 per annum. Much business is done in the export of i^otatoes and grain. The imports are also considerable, the principal items being coal, wood, and salt, the latter for fishcuring purposes. Pittenweem is also an extensive fishcuring station, the number of crans brought into the harbour in 1860 being 14,730, the value of which amounted to about £13,000. Pittenweem owed its origin and ancient prosperity, partly to its position on the coast, and partly to the presence of a Priory of canons regular. The foundation of the Priory is alleged to date from the 12th century, and it belonged to the Priory of St Andrews. It possessed much land and several Churches, and exercised considerable influence previous to the Reformation. Some portions of the buildings still stand and are in use, part as the Parish Church, part as the Episcopalian

Parsonage ; and the walls of the precincts are still standing. The town was at one

time a Burgh of Barony, holding of its Priors ; but in 1542 it was constituted a Royal Burgh, and it afterwards received several charters, all of which were confirmed by Act of Parliament in 1633. It is governed by a provost, two bailies, a treasurer, and eight councillors. The corporation revenue amounts to about £977 annually. Pittenweem unites with St Andrews, Cupar, Crail, Kilrenny, and Anstruther Easter and Wester, in returning a Member to Parliament. The majority of the working section of the community are engaged in employments connected with the sea, such as sailors, fishermen, fishcurers, coopers, &c. ; the rest are generally employed as shopkeepers, or in such trades as are common to all towns of a similar size. The Parish Church is an ancient building, and, as we have already stated, is supposed to have formed a part of the old Priory. There are also in the town, an Episcopalian Church, a U. P. Church, and a Preaching Station, in connection with the Free Church. Besides the Paiish School, there are a Burgh School, an Adventure School, a Female Industrial School, and an Infant School.

PARISHES OF ST ANDREWS & ST LEONARDS.

The Parish of St Andrews, containing the city of its own name, and the villages of Strathkinness, Kincaple, Grange, Boarhills, and part of Den- head, is on the east coast of the County. It is bounded by the Bay of St Andrews, the Estuary of the Eden, and the parish of Leuchars, on the north, by the Bay of St Andrews, and by the parishes of Kingsbams and St Leonards on the east, by Denino, Cameron, and Ceres, on the south, and by Ceres and Kemback on the west. Its greatest length from north- west to south-east is about ten miles, and its extreme breadth, from the coble shore to Denhead, is three and three-fourths miles, but its average breadth is not above two and a half miles. Its area is reckoned at 17 square miles, or about 11,000 acres. The ascent of the surface is from the north to the south and east. Along the Estuary of the Eden, on the northern border, the land is low, flat, and sandy ; only a part of this is in tillage, the greater portion forming downs or links, which afibrd pasturage for sheep, and are also useful as a place of recreation for the inhabitants of the city. From the mouth of the Eden to Kenly Burn, which divides the Parish from Kingsbams, there are about six miles of sea coast ; two miles of which, to the north and east of the town, consist of low sand-hills, which form the eastern boundary of the links. The rest of the coast is bold and rocky, the sandstone cropping out in some places into perpendicular precipices of from 50 to 60 feet in height. Id this line of coast, to the east of the city, are several isolated rocks, such as the DIRECTORY. ST ANDREWS AND ST LEONARDS. 187

Maiden Rock, an isolated mass of sandstone, forty feet high ; the Rock and

the Spindle, an outburst of the trap, thirty feet high ; and the Buddo Rock, near Boarhills. Inland, the surface of the Parish is finely diversified, rising at the Balrymonts on the south to hills of 350 feet, and at Clatto on the west to

650 feet ; and again receding into open valleys. In general it is highly cultivated, and in many places ornamented with wood surrounding the different gentlemens' seats, or planted on land which would otherwise be waste.

The highways are such as diverge from St Andrews as a centre, viz. : —south-east to Crail, south, by King's Muir, to Anstruther, south-west to Elie and Largo, west, by Guardbridge, to Cupar, and west, by Pitscottie, to Ceres. There are also statute- labour roads leading from off the turnpike roads, to the villages of Denhead, Strath- kinness, and Grange. The St Andrews Railway intersects the Parish westwards, from the Links to Guardbridge, and joins the E. P. & D. Railway at Milton, There are no lakes or brooks of any consequence in the interior of the Parish. The south-west wind is the most prevalent, but, in common with all the eastern part of the island, the Parish is subjected to the cold, damp, easterly winds, or haars, which prevail in April and May. St Andrews Bay is proverbially dangerous to navigators, and vessels driven into it by an easterly wind, being unable to weather the opposite points of Fife Ness and the Redhead, are compelled to run for shelter into the mouth of the Tay, which none but those thoroughly acquainted with the intricate navigation at the entrance to that river, can attempt without a pilot ; and, consequently, numerous melancholy shipwrecks take place. The city of St Andrews stands on a rocky ridge in the central part of the coast of the Parish—ten miles east of Cupar, eleven south south-east of Newport, and ten north of Anstruther. The ridge is about three-fourths of a mile long, by half a mile broad, and is washed by the sea on the north and east, where it terminates in abrupt precipices, giving the city an appearance of elevation and grandeur. Its surface seems to the eye as flat, but it really declines gently on all sides from a point near the centre of the town. The view of the city, with its environs and backgrounds, from a distance of two miles to the south-east, south, or south-west is magnificent. On the left, the eye ranges over the vast sweep of the Bay of St

Andrews and the coast of Angus ; on the right, rises the richly wooded bank of Strathtyrum, while the venerable majestic towers and spires of the churches shooting into the air over the horizon Une, combine to form a finely varied and imposing scene. The city contains three principal streets, viz. : —South Street, Market Street, in the centre of which stands the old Town-Hall, and North Street. All these run westwards from the Cathedral, and are intersected at right angles by secondary streets and lanes. The principal streets are broad, spacious, and well paved. The ancient history of St Andrews is involved in obscurity, and mingled with monkish fable, but although the story of its origin in the advent of eighteen Greek monks and three nuns, who were wrecked in St Andrews Bay, at a period not later than the 7th century, meets with little credit, still its origin dates from an early period. Its authentic history, though not continuous, may be said to commence in the 9th century, when, in 840, the King of the Scots annihilated the power of the Pictish nation, and created St Andrews the civil and ecclesiastical metropolis of the kingdom. At this era the name of the city was changed from Kikymont to St Andrews, and St Andrew was constituted the patron saint of the kingdom. In such a work as the present we can merely notice a few of the principal events in the history of the city. In 1 11 2, Turgot, the 1 6th Bishop, founded Trinity Church, upon the site of the present Parish Church, and dedicated it to the Holy Trinity, and it was known by the name of Trinity Church. Twenty years later the Priory was founded by Bishop Robert, which establishment was ultimately reckoned second to none in the kingdom for the magnificence of its buildings and the amount of its revenues. Arnold, the 19th Bishop, who was elected in 1159, founded the 188 ST ANDREWS AND ST LEONAEDS. FIFESHIRE

Catliedral Chmcli, which building was not completed until 160 years after. In 1200, the Castle was founded by Rodger, the 22d Bishop, as a residence for himself and his prelatical successoi-s. In 1274, Wishart, the 28th Bishop, founded the Blackfriars Monastery, of which the iine ruin in front of the Madras College is the only memorial. In 1411, the foimdation of the University, the first in Scotland, was laid by Wardlaw, the 36th Bishoi> The same prelate built the Guardbridge, and it was during his Episcopate that John Resby and Paul Craw were burned at the stake, the former at Perth, and the latter at St Andrews, for holding opinions derogatory to the Papacy. In 1455, Bishop Kennedy, the last Bishop, founded St Salvator's College and Chapel, and richly endowed it. Subsequent to 1512, Prior John Hepbui'u founded St Leonard's College, and afterwards surrounded it with a waU, nearly all of which is still standing. James Beaton, Uncle of Cardinal Beaton, was the 6th Archbishop of St Andrews. At his own expense he erected a large portion of the buildings of St Mary's College. His memory is, however, suUied by the burning of Patrick Hamilton and Hem-y Fon-est. Cardinal Beaton succeeded his uncle as Archbishop in 1539, and was the prime agent in bringing George Wishart to the stake ; a deed of blood which was terribly avenged by his own murder, shortly after, in his own castle, by Norman Leslie and other friends of Wishart. The last Roman Catholic Archbishop was John Hamilton, upon whose memory rests the odium of being the last prelate who put any one to death under the sway of Roman Catholicism in Scotland. Poor old Walter Mill was 80 years of age when brought to the stake, and his death hastened on the crisis of the Reformation, which had previously been making rapid strides. The eloquence of Knox roused the heart of the nation to its inmost depths, and in a few

days the old ecclesiastical system and its patrons were in the dust ; and nearly the whole fraternity of bishops, priests, abbots, monks, friars, and nuns, either fled or joined the Protestant party. With the Reformation, the importance of St Andrews, as the central power, or focus, from whence radiated the leading national events, terminated ; and, although its University and Colleges were spared, the city sunk in importance, until its grass grown streets became a proverb. Ttiis state of matters is now, however, changed, and, Phoenix-like, it is springing afresh from its own ashes into, if not in aU its ancient power and pageantry, at least, in its former splendour. The first measure that arrested the progress of decay was the munificent bequest of Dr. Andrew Bell, by which the splendid Madras College in South Street was erected. The same gentleman made another bequest to the city, the proceeds of which amount to £300 per annum, to be expended upon moral and religious pm-poses, and permanent improvements connected with the city. This fund has aided in the opening up of new streets, and repaying the old streets and lanes ; in building new schools, and a new town-hall ; in bringing in a better supply of water into the city ; in the organization of a mechanics' reading room and library, &c., &c. During the period these changes were in progress, repeated grants were obtained from the

Legislature for the rebuilding and improvement of the Colleges ; making St Andrews, so far as educational jjrivileges are concerned, second to no town in the kingdom. These improvements were nearly all carried out and conducted by the late Lieutenant Colonel Sir Hugh Lyon Playfair, LL.D., who, as provost of the city for many years, devoted himself to the renovation of the town so successfully, that it may be said he found it in ruins, and left it a city of palaces. We can now merely mention a few of the numerous antiquities and objects of interest that arrest the attention of visitors to this ancient city. Landing at the railway station, the stranger is at once set down at the Links, which are not only a fine promenade, but the best golfing ground in the kingdom ; and where that tine game is always enthusiastically carried on. At the east end of the Links is the Club-house, which was erected in 1853 for the accommodation of the gentlemen connected with the golf club. To the east of the club-house, at the entrance to the "Scores," or DIRECTORY. ST ANDREWS AND ST LEONARDS. 189

"Swallow Gate," is a fine Obelisk, erected in 1844, in memory of the martyrs wlio were burned at the stake in St Andrews, between the years 1528 and 1558, rather than abjure the Protestant faith. On the left hand, proceeding eastward along the beautiful walk of the "Scores," are the Baths, upon the top of the clifif overhanging the sea, where hot, cold, and shower baths are always to be had. A little further to the east are the Castle ruins, where the old dungeon and weU may be seen in much the same state as they were 400 years ago. It was in front of the Castle that Wishart was burned ; and it was over one of the fi-ont windows that the body of Cardinal Beaton was hung on the day of his mui-der. Still further to the eastward, and overlooking the harbour, is the flag-staff of the coast guard, which is ei'ected upon the Kirkhill ; where, in very early times, flourished a College of the Culdees. Some excavations, made in 1860, laid bare portions of the foundations of the ancient buildings ; and at same time many interesting meuwrials of a far byegone age, were discovered. At the foot of the hill is the Harbour-, consisting of an outer and an inner basin. It is not large, but safe when reached. The exports are chiefly iron-stone char, potatoes, and grain ; and the imports, timber, pavement, coal, and small goods. The annual amount of shore dues is about £250. The Abbey wall, which next claims attention, begins at the east gable wall of the Cathedral ruins, and sweeps round the harbour as far as the East Toll, where it tm-ns to the westward, and ends at St Leonards. The whole length is upwards of half a mile, by twenty feet in height, and four in thickness, inclosing an area of about twenty acres. This extensive work was begvm in 1516 by Sub-Prior John Hepburn, for the purpose of confining the Archbishop within his own Cathedral domains, a serious difierence having arisen between the two dignitaries. The Cathedral ruins and St Regulus' Tower are within the walls of the burying-ground. The east gable of the Cathedral with its two Spires, 100 feet in height, as also one Spire and a large portion of the west gable, are still entii'e. The only other remaining portions are the south wall of the nave, and the west wall of the south transept. St Regulus' Tower and Chapel, or the "four nooJced Steeple," is to the east of the Cathedral ruins. Tradition asserts that it was built in the 5th century by the King of the Picts, on his conversion to Christianity by the Greek monk, St Regulus ; Mr Robert Chambers thinks it belongs to the 8th or 9th century, and Mr Joseph Robertson, writing in 1849, asserts that it must have been built in the 12th century. Its height is 108 feet, and a circular staircase consisting of 156 steps conducts to the top, from whence a splendid panoramic view of the city is obtained. Proceeding west the South Street, the first opening to the south leads to the roofless ruins of St Leonard's Chapel, which when entire must have been a splendid specimen of Gothic architecture. On the wall and floor are a number of interesting old monuments. Nearly midway between the burial gi-ound and the West Port is St Mary's College, the most interesting object belonging to which is the University Library, amounting to 60,000 volumes. To the west of St Mary's College, on the north side of the street, is the Parish Church, erected in 1800, on the site of the old Trinity Chui-ch built by Bishop Target. It is very plain, and, though large, is not a commodious building. The chief object of interest connected with it is the monument erected to the memory of Archbishop Sharp, by his son. It is an elegant structure of black and white marble, and is situated in the east end of the aisle. On the opposite side of the street is the fine new Town-Hall, completed and opened for pubHc use in 1861. It is well adapted for public meetings, or for a concert and lecture room. A little to the westward of the Town-Hall are the Madras College, and ruins of the Blackfriara Chapel, which have been akeady noticed. The only other object of interest in the South Street is the fine old gateway at "the Port," the origin of which is unknovi^n. There is not much to attract attention in the Market Street, if we except the Infant School and the old Town-Hall and Tolbooth. In the North Street, and near its middle, are the 190 ST ANDREWS AND ST LEONARDS. FIFESHIRE buildings connected with the United College of St Salvator and St Leonard, the College Church, Bishop Kennedy's Tomb, and the Museum. The latter contains a miscellaneous mass of curiousities, in addition to a fine collection of British and foreign beasts, birds, reptiles, fishes, &c. ; and there is nothing within the precincts of the city more likely to create an interest in the breast of a stranger, than the various buildings and objects connected with the United College. It is believed that the town of St Andrews owes its origin to the College of the Culdees that flomished here at a very eai-ly date, and latterly to the residence of a Bishop. After the introduction of Saxon customs among the Celtic people of Scotland, it, in all probability became a Burgh holding of the Bishop. Its earliest Royal Charter is by Malcolm IV., grandson of David I., which is still preserved among the records of the Burgh. This curious document is written upon a piece of parchment only three inches long, by one and a half broad. It is without date, but as Malcolm succeeded his grandfather in 1153, and died in 1165, the document is at least 694 years old. The Burgh is governed by twenty-nine councillors, including a provost, four bailies, a treasurer, and a dean of guild ; and joins with Cupar and the five East of Fife Burghs in returning a Member to Parliament. A weekly market for the sale of com, by sample, is held on Monday, and a market for the sale of butter, eggs, and other farm produce, on Wednesday and Saturday. There is a hiring fair for agricultural servants on the second Tuesday of August, known as the Lammas fair, which is well attended. A lintseed market in April, and a winter market in November, have dwindled into insignificance. St Andrews derives its modem importance mainly from the number and prosperity of its educational establishments, joined to the healthiness of its situation, and the facilities it affords for sea-bathing purposes ; and, on this account, the number of its gentry far exceeds that of other towns of a similar size. It is a practise with many of our country gentlemen, instead of boarding their children in a university town, to make the city their residence during the period that their children are receiving their education—the junior branches at the Madras College, and the senior at the University ; and, as there are also several hundreds of young gentlemen boarded in the city, the result is such a circulation of capital as compensates for the want of trade and manufactures, public works, &c. There are five places of worship in the city and Parish, connected with the

Establishment, viz. : —the Parish Church, St Marys Church, the College Church (St Leonards Parish Church), a Quoad Sacra Parish Church at Strathkinness, and a Preaching Station at Boarhills. The Parish of St Andrews is a coUegiate charge, and the two ministers officiate alternately in the Town Church and St Marys Church. There are two Free Churches, one in the city and one at Strathkinness. There are also in the town a U. P. Church, an Episcopalian Church, an Independent Church, and a Baptist Church.

Several of the educational establishments have been already incidentally noticed ; the chief of which is the United College of St Salvators and St Leonards. This establishment embraces a principal and nine professors, besides the usual working machinery. The number of students is generally about 80. St Marys College, in South Street, is entirely devoted to the study of divinity. The staff consists of four professors, one of whom is principal. The number of students is generally from 20 to 30. The Madras College is by far the most important educational institution in the County, so far as the number of pupils is concerned. The branches taught are, English, the classics, modem languages, mathematics, writing, dra\N-ing, music, &c. There are in all, eight class-rooms and eight head mastei-s of departments, besides assistants and pupil teachers. The pupils generally number about 1000. The Institution also includes a Female Industrial Department for girls. The Fishers' District School is at the east end of the town. The day pupils number about 160, and there is a sewing class for girls in the evening at which the attendance is about 80. There is also an Infant School in DIRECTORY. ST ANDREWS AND ST LEONARDS. 191

Market Street, at whicli there is an attendance of about 120. Besides these public institutions there are others of a more private nature, the most

celebrated of which is that of David J. Smeaton, Esq., Abbey Park ; at which not less than 80 young gentlemen, from all parts, are boarded and educated. Besides the personal superintendence of Mr Smeaton, there are iive resident tutors within the establishment, and five separate masters. Mr Thomas Hodge, West View, presides over an institution chiefly intended for the education and training of youths who have the army in view as a profession, which is only second to that of Mr Smeaton, both as regards the number of pupils, and the high estimation in which it is held by the public. Institutions of a similar nature are conducted by Mr Paterson, Clifton Bank, and by the Messrs Cleghom. There are also boarding establishments for the education of young ladies, several talented teachers of music, and two establishments for the sale and hire of pianofortes, &c., &c. The village of Strathkiuness is near the western border. It is a straggling place, with several freestone quarries in the neighbourhood, where a number of the villagers find employment. A number are also employed at the Winthank iron- stone mines, and a number are weavers and village tradesmen. Kincaple is a smaller village, about a mile to the north of Strathkiuness. The inhabitants are either agricultural labourers, or find employment at the Seafield brickwork, or at the adjoining malt barns. The Grange is a scattered hamlet to the south of the city, and Boarhills is on the eastern border. It is chiefly made up of three farm steadings, a School-House and master's residence, and a few tradesmen's cottages. St Leonards is a small Parish lying partly embosomed in that of St Andrews, and is identified with it and with the city in most of its interests. It consists of several detached portions in and around the city, and of three farms on the eastern boundary of St Andrews parish—surrounded by the parishes of St Andrews, Kings- barns, Crail, and Denino. Its total extent is about 820 acres. St Leonards being so thoroughly connected, historically and politically, with the city and parish of St Andrews, we have embraced both in one Kst. The Addresses given belonging to St Leonards number only about 20.

This Parish, containing the village of its own name, is on the west border of the Coimty. It is bounded by Clackmannanshire and the Culross district of Perthshire on the west, by a detached portion of Torryburn and part of Kinross-shire on the north, by Dunfermline and Carnock on the east, and by Camock, part of Clack- mannanshii-e, and the Culross district of Perthshire, on the south. Its length westward is about five and a half miles, and its extreme breadth, including a detached section, is five miles. The detached section to the south has been exchanged. Quoad Sacra, for another detached portion of Torryburn, situated to the north of Saline; but, Quoad Civilia, the detached portions are still connected with the original parishes. The eastern district, comprising about one half of the entire area, is of an upland character, rising into a lofty ridge called the Saline Hills, several peaks of which are upwards of 1000 feet high ; the highest being Saline Hill, which is 1178 feet above the level of the sea. This district, though chiefly pastoral, and partly marshy, includes some good arable tracts. The soil of the western half, which is comparatively level, is generally a mixture of clay and loam, incumbent till, in places very fertile. Coal, limestone, and iron-stone, on yet some abound ; and mining operations are actively carried on. The antiquities are two Roman Camps and two old Towers. Roads traverse the Parish both from north to south and from east to west ; and the Oakley station of the Stirling and Dunfermline Railway is on the south border. The village of Saline is beautifully situated at the foot of the Saline Hills, which shelter it from the north and east winds. It has a clean picturesque appearance, and has been not inaptly termed, "the Paradise of Fife." The villagers are chiefly feuars, holding of the trustees of the late Sir Robert Preston, Bart. The Parish is much divided into small farms, and in that respect presents some- thing of the aspect borne by the central and eastern districts of the County, eighty years ago. The chief employments carried on are connected with coal and iron- stone mining, and agriculture. The former is carried on by the Forth Iron Co. , on the south border, and by the Long Loan Iron Co., on the eastern border, at Steelend. The only work of the nature of a manufacture is a rather extensive agricultural implement manufactory, long carried on by the late John Barrowman, and still conducted by Barrowman & Co. The Parish Church is a handsome Grothic edifice, built on a conspicuous site at the village of Saline, where is also a Free Church. In addition to the Parish School, taught for forty-four years by Mr A. D. Robertson, there is a Subscription School at Saline.

The POST OFFICE for the Parish is Dunfermline, with a Sub-Office at Saline, John Hutton, Sub-Post Master. —Letters, by a walking postman, reach Saline at

2 p. M. , and are despatched at 5 p. m.

It is bounded by the Fii-th of Forth on the south, by Wemyss, Markinch, Kennoway, and Kettle on the west, by Kennoway and Ceres on the north, and by Largo on the east. Its length from south to north is nearly five miles, and its greatest breadth about two and a half miles. The coast which lies along the western side of Largo Bay, has an extent of less than one and a half mile, and is everywhere flat and sandy. The surface, inland, rises with a gentle ascent from the shore to the noi-thern extremity. The highest ground has an elevation of above 600 feet and there are several heights and swells which command an extensive and brilliant view of the Fii-th of Forth and the Lothians. Beds of coal of varied thicknesses Lie beneath the whole parish, and were worked at Scoonie Bridge up to

a recent period ; and a Colliery at Kilmux, on the northern border, is in active operation. A fine bed of Ochre, five feet thick, occurs on the estates of Duiie and Aithernie, and there are mills for grinding it at Leven. The total area is estimated at about 4000 acres, all of which are cultivated, except about 500, which are partly in wood, and partly in pasture and uncultivated links. A battle is supposed to have been fought in ancient times between the Danes and the Scots

on tlie west border ; about twenty stone coflins, together with other sepulchral remains, being exliumed in 1821, on the top of a conical hill. The mansion houses are Dui-ie, Kilmux, and Montrave. The Parish is traversed by the road from Largo to Windygates, by the road from Kirkcaldy by Kennoway, to Cupar, and by the Leven and East of Fife Railway, which has a station on the north side of the town of Leven. The town of Leven, which is a sea-port, stands at the mouth of the Leven, on the west side of Largo Bay, —two miles south-east of Kennoway, two and a half miles south-west of Lower Largo, and nine miles north-east of Kirkcaldy. It is a Burgh of Barony, under Mr Christie, of Durie. It lies on the shore, on the east side of the Leven, and is connected with Dubbieside, or Innerleven, by a fine stone bridge. The town consists chiefly of three streets running nearly parallel to each other, east and west, and a number of bye-lanes. There is a police commission in the Burgh,

under the Act William IV. , Chap. 36. A number of handsome houses and cottages have been erected along the links, at the south-east part of the town, within a recent period. Like most towns on the south coast of the County, it is a favourite

resort for visitors during the summer season, for sea-bathing ; and a number of the inhabitants let their houses furnished, to parties requiring accommodation for that purpose. A number of the inhabitants are engaged in hand-loom weaving, 201 SOOONIK FIFESHIRfi but the greater part are employed at public works, situated in the parish, and its immediate neighbourhood. At Kirkland and Leven mills, on the Wemyss side of the river, are extensive works for the preparing and spinning of flax, and a saw and planing mill, a flour miU, a bone mill, and a lintseed oil mill ; and in the town are two flax spinning mills, a herring net factory, an iron foundry, and a brickwork. There is also a flax retting work at Silverbiim, on the west border of the parish. The harbour is a natural one, formed by a creek at the mouth of the river, and at spring tides it admits vessels of 300 tons burden, but it is not easy of access. There is a small quay but the accomodation has long been considered insufficient for the requirements of the trade. Several vessels belong to the port, and from two to three hundred enter during the year. The principal imports are flax, timber, ashes, pig-iron, bones, and malt ; and the chief exports, linen cloth, whisky, bone- dust, cast-iron, and potatoes. Sheriff small debt courts are held on the second Friday of March, on the first Friday of June, and on the last Friday of August and November. The Parish Church, at the east end of the town, is a very humble structure, without the slightest pretence to ornament of any kind ; but, internally, is well- finished, commodious, and comfortable. It contains 1000 sittings. There are also a Free Church congregation for whom a fine new Church was erected in 1861, and a U. P. Church. There was formerly an Independent Chapel, but it has been shut up for some time. Besides the Parish School, there are a Free Church School and a number of Independent Schools, several of which are taught by females.

This Parish, containing the villages of Strathmiglo and Edenshead, is in the north- west part of the County. It is bounded by the parishes of Amgask, Abemethy, and Auchtermuchty, on the north, by Auchtermiichty and Falkland on the east, by Falkland, and by Portmoak and Orwell in Kinross-shtre, on the south, and by Portmoak, OrweU, and Amgask, on the west. Its length north-eastward is seven and a half miles, and its greatest breadth four and a half mUes. The waters of the Eden, or Miglo, the name it receives while in the Parish, intersects its whole length, dividing it into two nearly equal portions. The water within the Parish drives four corn, one flour, and a farina mill. The greater part of the surface consists of two ascents, rising, gently at first, from the banks of the Miglo, until, in the southern ascent, it reaches a height of 1500 feet in the West Lomond Hill. The northern ascent forms part of the Fife continuation of the Ochil Hills, which here attain a height of 900 feet. The prevailing rock in the north is trap, and in the south, red sandstone. There is also an excellent bed of white freestone within the Parish, in the Lomond Hill, of which antiquarians suppose that the Round Tower of Abernethy was built ; and also that Macduff's and Mugdrum Crosses are blocks of it. Limestone is also found on the Lomond Hill. The soil is generally a rich friable loam in the north, and light and sandy in the south. The area amounts to upwards of 5000 acres, four-fifths of which are in tillage, and the remainder in pasture, waste, and wood. Formerly there were numerous cairns and tumuli in the

Parish ; and the latter were disposed in such order, and accompanied with such remains of ancient warfare, as to lead to a conviction in the minds of some antiquaries, that this Parish is the scene of the battle of Mons Grampus, fought in A.D. , 85 or 86, between the Romans under Agricola, and the Caledonians under Galgacus, their brave and warlike General. The late Colonel Millar, who resided for some time in the Parish, read an essay on the subject before the Society of Antiquaries at Edinburgh, and which was published by them in their transactions- ,

DIRECTORY. STRATHMIGLO. 209 in 1830. In that essay, the Colonel makes out a strong case that this locality is the long disputed site of that battle, and no serious attempt has been made to over- turn his reasoning upon this subject. The Tillage, or Burgh of Barony, of Strathmiglo, is situated in a pleasant plain on the north bank of the Miglo, a little to the south of the road from Auchter- muchty to Kinross— two miles south-west of Auchtermuchty, three north-west of Falkland, and eleven west-south-west of Cupar, eight north-east by east of Kinross, and twelve south-east of Perth. Part of it is an old Burgh of Barony, and this, with the suburbs called Kirklands, Stedmorelands, and Templelands, are on the left bank of the Miglo ; while the other suburban parts, called the Cash and Town Feus, are on the right bank. The Burgh consists of one principal street running parallel to the river, and four or five lanes running at right angles to it, and a lane, called the East and West Back Dykes, running along the head of the gardens on the north side. The Kirklands are situated at the eastern extremity of the south side of the principal street. The Templelands are also on the same street, about the middle of the town ; and the Stedmoreland Feus are at the western extremity, on both sides of the street. The Cash Feus and the Town's Feus foi'm a long street of well-built tradesmen's houses, also running parallel to the river. Sibbald says that the lands of Strathmiglo anciently belonged the Crown, and that Malcolm IV. granted them to Duncan, (ith Earl of Fife, on his marriage with the neice of that monarch. In 1509, Sir William Scott, of Balwearie. obtained a charter of the lands and Barony of Strathmiglo, with power to erect that town into a Burgh of Barony. It was only, however, in 1600 that the power was exercised, and the town erected into a Burgh of Barony, with the privilege of holding courts, &c. , and the usual powers of such burghs. charter was confirmed VI. in The by James 1605 ; but, as the nomination of the bailies, and the admission of the burgesses, was vested in the person of the superior, their powers were annihilated by the Act 20th George II., which abolished heritable jurisdictions. The burgh feuars still, however, hold possession of the Town-House ; and the fine green on both sides of the river is also their property, although the public have the use of it as a bleaching green. A castellated mansion, called Strathmiglo, and sometimes Caimyflappet, Castle, which stood about 100 yards north-east of the East Mill steading, is supposed to have been built in the reign of James V., but its ruins were removed about the year 1740, as building materials for the Steeple in front of the town-house. The remains of the moat still mark the site. The Steeple is a handsome structure, comprising a square tower, terminating in an open ballustrade surmounted by an octagonal spire, 70 feet in height. That portion of the town called Templelands anciently belonged to the Knights Templar, and appears, after the suppression of that order, to have come into the possession of the Knights of St John of Jerusalem, as the proprietor of the eastmost feu is bound by his title to maintain the cross of St John on a conspicuous part of his house, to mark the boundary between Templeland and burgage property. There are three Churches in the town—the Parish Church, near the east end of the town, containing about 750 sittings, a Free Church, and a Reformed Presbyterian Church. In addition to the Parish School, there are a Subscription School, and a Female Industrial School. Gateside and Edenshead, about two miles to ths westward of Strathmiglo, are often named as separate places, but strictly they form only one village, at which there are a U. P. Church and a Subscription School. There is also a Subscription School at Burnside, on the western boundary. The chief mansion-houses are, Pitlour, the property of Patrick G. Skene, Esq. of Hallyards, situated a little to the north of Strathmiglo ; and Wellfield, the property of George C. Cheape, Esq., which is situated about a mile to the west of Strathmiglo. The Parish is traversed from east to west by the turnpike road from Auchter- AA 210 STRATHMIGLO. FIPESHIRE muchty and Kinross, and northwards by several statute-labour roads. The Fife and Kinross Railway also crosses it from east to west, with stations at Strathmiglo and Gateside. The inhabitants of the country districts are chiefly engaged in labour connected with agriculture, and the villagers generally in the weaving of diaper and damask. There are several manufacturers anl agents resident in Strathmiglo, who employ most of the hands. There are also a power-loom factory and a bleaclifield in Strath- miglo, at which a considerable number, chiefly females, are employed.

The POST OFFICE for ths Parish is Auchtermuchty, with Sub-Offices at Strath- miglo and Gateside, Mrs James Troup, Post Mistress, Strathmiglo, and James Millar, Sah-Post Master, Gateside. —Letters, by a walking postman, reach Strath- miglo at 9.30 A.M. and 6.30 p.m., and are despatched every afternoon at 2 and 8.30 P.M. Letters reach Gateside at 10.45 a.m. and 7.10 p.m., and are despatched at 1 and 5. 30 p. m.

This Parish, containing the villages of Torryburn, Torry, and Crombie, is on the south-west extremity of the County. It is bounded by the Firth of Forth on the south, by Perthshire on the west, and by the parishes of Saline, Carnock, and Dunfermline, on the north and east. A detached section to the north of Saline is connected, Quoad Oivilia, with this Parish ; but a number of years ago it was exchanged. Quoad Sacra, for another section detached from Saline on the south. Its length south-eastward is five miles, and its greatest breadth, both sections included, is about three miles. Its surface is beautifully diversified, and the high grounds command fine views of the Firth of Forth and the Lothians. Its coast line commences at the small Bay of Charleston, and has near its middle the headland of Crombie Point, and extends along Torry Bay to the parish of Culross on the west. The soil in general is well cultivated, and the lands fertile. The principal mansion is Torry House, one of the seats of James Hay Erakine Wemyss, M. P. for the County. Craigflower House, the property of the Right Honourable Sir James W. Colville, of Ochiltree, Knight, is to the east of Torryburn village. There are small piers at Crombie and Torryburn, but their commercial importance is not so great as when they formed the port for Dunfermline. The Parish is traversed by the road from Dunfermline to Alloa, and it enjoys access to the Stirling and Dunfermline Railway at the Oakley and East Grange stations. The village of Torryburn stands on the coast, on the road from Dunfermline to Alloa—four and a half miles west-south-west of Dunfermline, two miles east of Culross, and nine miles west-north-west of Queensferry. A number of the inhabitants are weavers, partly employed in weaving damasks for Dunfermline houses, and partly in cotton goods for Glasgow manufacturers. Another branch of employment extensively carried on by females is hand-sewing figured muslins. One agent in the village recently employed a great number of hands, and paid out in wages from £60 to £70 weekly ; but for some time, owing to the dullness of trade, the amount of work given out has not been so great. The village of Torry, also on the coast, is half a mile to the west of Torryburn. It is a sweet-lying viUage, having Torry Bay in front, with comparatively high backgrounds protecting it from the northern blasts of winter. The Parish Church is at the east end of the village of Torryburn, and contains about 500 sittings. There is a Free Church at Torry, a rather plain-looking stractirre. In addition to the Parish School, which is at Torryburn, there is, in the same vDlage, a School under the patronage of the family of Craigflower. The POST OFFICE is Dunfermline, with a Sub-Office at Torryburn, James Brimer, Siih-Post Master. —A walking postman reaches Toriyburn about 12.15 p.m., and leaves on his return at 1.45 p.m. BOOT & SHOEMAKERS. rGilmour, Mrs Matthew, Tony Charles, John, Torryburn Headrick, Peter, Torryburn DIRECTORY.

The name of this Parish, which is on the south coast of the County, is derived from the Celtic word Wamh, meaning caves ; and that the name is altogether appropriate may be seen from the number of caves in the rocks on the sea-shore. The Parish is bounded on the south by the Firth of Forth, on the east by Markincb and Scoonie, on the north by Kennoway and Markinch, and on the west by Dysart,

It is six miles in length from north-west to south east, and about one and a. half in breadth. The Parish is in excellent cultivation ; a regular and proper rotation of cropping being followed. Great quantities of potatoes and turnips are raised, and the general appearance is much improved by plantations. Ochre and iron-stone are found in the Parish, but the principal mineral is coal, an extensive field of which exists, and which has long been, and continues to be extensively wrought, no less than from 50,000 to 60,000 tons being annually brought to the surface. Five pits are at present in full working order, and a shaft at Percival is in course of being sunk to a lower depth, so as to reach a thicker seam of coal and a large pumping-engine, of 120 horse-power, has just been erected, so as to meet the additional requirements of the works. On the western side of Largo Bay, embracing the Wemyss and Dysart coal-basin, the metals dip to the south-east, and contain 29, and in some places 34, workable seams of coal, varying from 2 to 21 feet, the total thickness being 119| feet. Thomas Eyewater, Esq., factor, and Mr David Kerr, mining engineer, for the Wemyss estate, calculate that the amount of available coal still to work, amounts to 51,000,000 tons, which, at the present rate of consumption, wiU not be exhausted until after the expiry of 1000 years. The manufactures of the Parish consist chiefly of ducks, dowlas, sheetings,

huckabacks, diaper, and canvass ; and in 1860, there was erected at East Wemyss an extensive power-loom factory, where these, and a variety of other fabrics, are produced. There are eight villages in the Parish. 1. West Wemyss, in which there is a Chapel in connection with the Established Church, coal-works, saw-mill, brick-work, &c. It is head of the Barony of Wemyss, and has two bailies, a treasurer, and councillors, but does not enjoy the privileges of the municipal act. 2. East Wemyss, in which is the Parish Church, a building in the form of a cross. It DIRECTORY. WEMYSS. 215 was rebuilt by General William Wemyss upon the site of an old Church, the date of whose erection is not authenticated. There is also a Free Church in East Wemyss. 3. Buckhaven, the largest village in the Parish, and one of the largest fishing villages in Fife, fishing being the principal trade of the inhabitants ; in addition to which, the curing of herrings is a necessary adjunct of its staple trade. Of late a herring net manufactory has been set agoing, and employs a good number of hands. Reed-making and camb-building are also carried on. At the Links of Buckhaven, in close proximity to the village, is a U. P. Church, with a flourishing congregation. 4. Methil a decayed-looking village with little trade, although it has a fine harbour, and once was a place of some note in the coal trade. 5. Kirk- land, with extensive spinning, weaving, and bleaching works, which employ a large number of people in the different departments. A small power-loom factory

has lately been added for the weaving of canvass. 6. Coaltowii of Wemyss ; 7.

East Newtown of Wemyss ; and Methil Hill, which are all mining villages. The Parish School is situated at East Wemyss, where are also a Free Church School, and an Infant School, which is under the patronage of Mrs J. H. E. Wemyss. There are also excellent Schools at West Wemyss, Coaltown of Wemyss, and Methil Hill, mutually supported by the miners and the proprietor of the coalworks, J. H. E. Wemyss, Esq., M. P. At Kirkland there is a School in connection with the works, and the proprietors (Messrs H. & T. Peters & Co.) allow the teacher a small salary in addition to the fees. Two excellent Schools are also in Buckhaven, at which there is a good attendance. There are a public reading room and subscription library at East Wemyss, besides others in the Parish. There are also some saving societies in the Parish. We have already said that the name of the Parish is derived from the Celtic word Wamh, a cave. There is a number of caves situated in the rocks, a little above high water mark. The largest is situated between Wemyss Castle and East

Wemyss ; and tradition asserts that, in this cave, was manufactured the first glass made in Scotland. It yet retains the name of the "Glass Cave." The "Court Cave," situated close to East Wemyss, extends about 200 feet in a north- westerly direction. Its breadth is very irregular, but at no point is it more than 60 feet ; and in height it varies from 20 to 30 feet. This cave has been rendered famous by a tradition that King James V. , in one of his frolicsome moods, here fell in with an encampment of gipsies. He joined their company, and a graphic story is told of his adventures on the occasion. There is also a very large cave underneath the old Castle of Macduff. The entrance is very small, but a few yards from the mouth it extends to a considerable size.

The sole proprietor of the Parish is James Hay Erskine Wemyss, Esq. , of Wemyss, and M.P. for the County, the representative of unquestionably the oldest family existing in the County. Of the origin of this family there are more accounts than one, but all agree as to their being derived from the family of Macduff, Maormhor of Fife in the reign of Malcolm Canmore. The lands now forming the Parish of Wemyss are said to have been part of the estate of Macduff, Shakespeare's well- known "Thane of Fife." The present proprietor is the 26th proprietor of the estate of Wemyss, in direct descent from Hugo, the son of Gillimaichael, fourth Earl of Fife, and, therefore, the 30th generation from Macduff. A short way east of West Wemyss, is Wemyss Castle, the residence of the family. It is one of the finest seats in the County. The building is large and stately ; much of it is of great antiquity ; and, being on a beautiful cliff overlooking the Firth, it commands a very extensive and magnificent view. Here the unfortunate Mary Stuart resided for some days ; and the room is still shown where she had her first interview with Lord Darnley. In July, 1650, Wemyss Castle was visited by Charles II., who spent a daj in it, and, on the 13th of July, 1657, he paid a visit and slept a night in the Castle. There is a very ancient relic preserved in the Castle, viz. -.—a silver bowl, presented to Sir Michael Wemyss, of Wemyss, by Eric, King of Norway, in 216 WEMYSS. FIPESHIRE

1290, when he and Sir Michael Scott, of Balwearie, went to bring home the Princess Margaret, on the death of Alexander III. This silver bowl, we believe, is only used on baptismal occasions. Besides the Castle of Wemyss there is, a short way to the eastward of East Wemyss, the ruins of an old castle, consisting of two square towers and a part of the wall. It is said to have been built by Macduff, who was created Maormhor of Piie in 1057. The old ruin is known as MacdufiF's Castle. There are also the ruins of two very ancient Chapels in the Parish. The one is situated near Mefchil Hill, and the other a little to the westward of West Wemyss. At this place there is stUl a piece of ground called the

Chapel Garden, near to which is the residence of Thomas Eyewater, Esq. , factor on the estate. In concluding this notice we may state that the Church of Markinch is to be found in old records under the title of "Macduff's Kirk ;" and there is some evidence, though of a very limited and slender kind, showing it to have been built by Macduff in the 10th century. The reason, however, why it may have been called "Macduff's Kirk," may be from the fact that Markinch Church was the place of worship which the Macduff family attended. The POST OFFICES for the Parish are Kirkcaldy and Leven, with Sub-Offices at West Wemyss, East Wemyss, and Buckhaven, Mrs Millie, Sub-Post Mistress, West Wemyss, John Ness, Sub-Post Master, East Wemyss, and William Beaton, Sub- Post blaster, Buckhaven. — Letters from Kirkcaldy reach West Wemyss, per mail gig, at 9.30 A.M. and 6 p.m., and East Wemyss at 9.20 a.m. and 5.45 p.m., and are de&patched from West Wemyss at 2 and 9 p.m., and from East Wemyss at 2.25 and 9.15 p.m. Letters reach Buckhaven, by a walking postman, from Leven at 11 A.M. and 7 p.m., and are despatched at 2 p.m. and 8.30 p.m.

Kinross is a small inland County situated at the western extremity of Fife, from which it was disjoined in 1426. It contains the smallest number of inhabitants of any county in Scotland. It is bounded by Perthshire on its north and west sides, and by Fifeshire on the south border. Its name is significant of its local situation, importing "the head of the peninsula." Its length, from Auchmoor Bridge on the east to the river Devon on the west, is twelve and a half miles, and its breadth, from Damhead on the north to Kelty Bridge on the south, is nine and a half miles. Its area is about 70 square miles, or 45,000 imperial acres. The County is nearly begu-t by hills, with intervening valleys between the several ranges. On the north and east are the Ochils and Lomonds, with the valley leading to Auchtermuchty between them. On the south is Benarty, cut oft" from the Lomonds by the pass traversed by the Leven. On the south are the Cleish Hills, is level traversed by the great north between which and Benarty a opening road ; and there is a more extensive opening on the west between the Cleish Hills and the Ochils. The central part of the County is partly occupied by Loch Leven, and partly by a level tract called the Laigh of Kinross, and chieily comprised in that parish. The general configuration of the land may be regarded as simply a variety of braes and slopes declining down from the hills to the central region. The whole face of the County, though wanting in the best featui'es of landscape, has a rich appearance, both natural and artificial, and presents some charming landscape

scenery ; 1 he chief of which is a view of Loch Leven from the rising ground on the eastern boundary. The northern part is drained by the Farg, and by the head streams of the Eden ; a small portion on the west by the Devon ; all the central parts by the North and South Quiech, and the Gairney, which all fall into Loch

Leven ; and on the southern border by the Kelty, a head stream of the Orr. Coal, though not found in the County, is wrought on the adjoining south border, near Kelty. Limestone in plenty is found on the East Lomond ; sandstone of excellent quality is wrought in Cleish ; and red sandstone abounds to the north of Kinross. Extensive plantations were begun in 1733, on the Blairadam estate, on the southern border, and now occupy about 1300 acres. The climate, owing to the elevation of the land, and to the peculiar influence of the encircling hills, is cold and wet ; but has of late years been much improved by draining, and is upon the whole considered healthy.

The soil of the greater portion of the County is dry, resting on a sharp gravel ; but a considerable part of it is of a moorish quality. The number of small proprietors, as compared with the extent of the County, is much greater than in Fife ; and many a farm constitutes an entire property, occupied and worked by its proprietor. Owing to this and other circumstances, Kinross was later and slower in the stait of 222 KINROSS-SHIRE. KINROSS-SHIRE

modern agricultural improvement thau the neighbouring counties ; and, until a comparatively recent period, it was to a considei-able extent wild and barren. But after agricultural improvements were fairly entered upon, so rapid was the progress, that it is now little behind other districts similarly situated as to soil and climate. The manufactures of the County, excepting in the ordinary departments of handi- craft, are of comparatively small amount, and will be noticed under the several parochial divisions. In the entire County there are only the towns of Kinross and Milnathort, and the villages of Maryburgh, Scotland Well, Kinnesswood, Middleton, Crook-of-Devon, and Duncrivie, and parts of Damhead and Kelty. There is no Burgh within the County, but it unites with Clackmannanshire in returning a Member to Parliament. The County comprises only four complete parochial divisions, and parts of three other parishes, and is joined with Clackmannanshire under

one Sheriff-Depute ; but there is a resident Sheriff-Substitute at Kinross, where the Sheriff courts are held. The ancient history of the County is all identified with that of Fife, and its modern history is not possessed of much interest. Up to 1426, it formed part of

Fifeshire ; and when erected, that year, into a separate county, it comprised only the parishes of Kinross, Orwell, and Portmoak. In 1685, it was further enlarged by the addition of Cleish, TuUiebole (now part of Fossoway), and part of Arngask, Fossoway, and Forgandenny yet, though made a se]3arate county, it until ; was, 1807, kept under the jurisdiction of the same Sheriff as Fifeshire, at which period the counties of Clackmannan and Kinross were united under one Sheriffdom. By far the finest feature in the landscape is Loch Leven, in the south-eastern part of the County. It receives, as we have already said, the waters of the North and South Queich, and the Gaimey, and discharges its surjilus water by the Leven on the east. It has an elevation of above 350 feet above the level of the sea, and its annual average fluctuation in height is about three feet. Its form is somewhat of an oval, the longer axis extending east-south-eastwards. It is between eight and nine miles in circumference, with an area of about 4000 acres. A partial drainage was effected about thirty years ago, under an Act of Parliament, which reduced its

size by about one-fifth : the land recovered, however, chiefly on the eastern side, is not of much agricultural value. The medium depth of the Lake is now about 14 feet. Its trout have always been famed for their fine flavour and peculiar high

colour ; and the lovers of the gentle art, during the season, come from considerable distances to ply their vocation on the beautiful expanse of water. There are several small islets in the lake, but the only two worth notice are St Serfs and the Castle Island. The former is in the south-east, with an area of about 80 acres. In ancient times a Priory stood on it, dedicated to St Serf, the first superior of which, or of the Culdee establishment which preceded it, is said to have borne the name of Moak, or St Moak, and from whom it is alleged that the name of the parish in which the Priory was situated, is derived, viz. : —Portmoak. Some remains of the Priory still exist, but the islet is now inhabited only by a few sheep and cattle. At a recent period its appearance was improved by the transportation of a quantity of

j soil to it, and the planting of some trees. The Castle Island, rendered famous by having been for eleven months the prison of Queen Mary, has an area of about 5 acres. Its size was much increased by the draining operations, and it seemed to rise, as it were, from out of the water. The original Castle on this island, or the fortalice in which it had its origin, is alleged to have been built by Congal, the son of Dogbart, the king of the Picts.

In the wars which harassed Scotland diiring the minority of David II. , it was held in the patriotic interest by Allan De Vipont, against the troops of Edward

III. , who acted in behalf of Edward Baliol. The English blockaded it unsuccess-

fully ; but the Monkish story of their attempting to drown the garrison by erecting immense barriers to the egress of the water by the Leven, must be a pure fiction. The Castle, as we have said, derives its chief historical interest from its being the ;

DIRECTORY. KINROSS-SHIRE, ARNGASK, AND CLEISH. 223 scene of the imprisonment of Queen Mary, after her surrender to the confederate Lords at Carberry Hill. Sir Robert Douglas, who was proprietor of the castle and surrounding lands in the 16th century, being connected by blood with some of the national leaders at that stormy period, was selected as the Queen's jailer and she was imprisoned here on the 16th of June, 1567, and escaped on the 2d of May following, by the aid of a son of her keeper. The Castle with its court-yard occupied a considerable part of the area of the island, and the garden occupied most of the remainder. The great Tower, or Keep of the Castle, stood in the north corner of the coiuii-yard, on the side of the island next Kinross. It is of the usual square foim, four stories in height, the walls being upwards of six feet thick. The entrance is in the second story, which must have been reached by an outside

stair, having probably a drawbridge at top ; but all vestiges of this .stair have disappeared. The door opened at once into the great hall of the Castle, which occupied the whole second flat of the building. Immediately within the doorway is a square opening, which led into the vaults beneath. The two upper stories seem to have been occupied as bedchambers. . The court-yard, which was surrounded by high walls, ilanked at the corners by towers, contained a variety of buildings for the accommodation of the family and the garrison. The appearance of the ruins, as seen from the shore, now tends to create mournful feelings in the breast of the spectator. PARISH OF ARNGASK.

The Introduction to this Parish having been already given under Pifeshire (page 19), we merely insert here the few names and addresses connected with the Kinross-shire section of the Parish.

This Parish, containing the hamlet of its own name, and the villages of Mary- burgh and Kelty proper, is in the south part of the County. It is bounded on the south by the parishes of Dunfermline and Beath, on the west by Dunfermline and the Perthshire division of Fossoway, on the north by Fossoway and Kinross, and on the east by Portmoak and Ballingry. It is of an oblong form, mnning nearly due east and west, and is six and a half miles in length, by one and a half in average breadth. The Cleish Hills divide it from Dunfermline. Dumglow, the highest peak, is 1200 feet above the level of the sea ; and three other summits, called the Ingans, are above 1000 feet in height. The higher lands are in pasture, and the lower, though of only middle-class soil, and from 400 to 500 feet above sea-level, are partly in tillage, and partly in permanent pasture, which is well known for its excellent qualities, both for rearing and fattening stock. There are several Lochs on the southern hills, the largest of which— Loch Glow— is one and a half mile in circumference. They are stocked with pike, perch, eels, and a few trout. The Gairney flows along the northern boundary, and divides the Parish from Fossoway and Kinross. Excellent freestone exists in great plenty, and limestone is quarried at Scarhill. Whinstone, suitable for roads and dykes, is abun- 224 CLEISH AND FORGANDENNY. KINROSS-SHIRE dant. On the top of Dumglow and otlier eminences are traces of ancient forts, or camps, wliicli are supposed to be of Roman origin. At the east end of the Parish, a stone, inserted in a bridge, bears an inscription intimating that the road beneath it is that by which Queen Mary fled from Loch Leven Castle. Formerly, on what is now the farm-steading of Gairney Bridge, stood the house in which the poet,

Michael Bruce, taught a School ; and, within a few yards of the same spot, stood the public-house in which the Fathers of the Secession Church held their first Presbytery. The Parish is traversed by the great north road, by the road from Kinross to Dunfermline, and by other cross roads. The Kini-oss-shire Railway passes through the eastern border. The Parish Chiirch, which is at Cleish, was biult in 1832. It is a neat building, in a beautiful situation, embosomed in wood at the base of the southern hills, and looking down over sylvan slopes upon the vale of Kinross. The Parish School is also at Cleish, in addition to which there is a School at Maryburgh, endowed by the proprietor of the Blair Adam estate. For Postal Arrangements see Kinross. BLACKSMITHS.

DIRECTORY. FOSSOWAY AND TtJLLIEBOLE. 2^5 PARISH OF FOSSOWAY AND TULLIEBOLS.

This Parish, of which the chief portion is in Perthshire, lies to the west of Kinross- sliire. It is bounded on the north by the parish of Dunning, on the east by Orwell and Kinross, on the south by Cleish, Dunfermline, Torryburn, and Saline, and on the west and north-west by Clackmannanshire and Muckart. It is about eleven miles long, by ten at its greatest breadth ; but its form is very irregular, and its total superficial area is not reckoned at above 50 square miles. The united Parish consists of three districts in Perthshire belonging to Fossoway, which were to a great extent separated from one another, until consolidated by the insertion of Tulliebole, belonging to Kinross-shire, amongst them. The northern parts of Fossoway, and the part of Tulliebole which connects them, constituting the entire northern section of the united parish, are a continued congeries of hills running up to the centre of the Ochil range, some of their summits rising to from 600 to 1100 feet above the level of the sea. Some of the hills are covered with moss or heath, but most are green to the summit, and afford good pasture for sheep and black cattle. The central and southern sections, consisting of the main body of Tulliebole and the southern part of Fossoway, though considerably elevated above sea-level, are arable over most of their area, with an improvable soil of gravel, clay, till, and loam. Tulliebole, though appearing between the Cleish Hills and the Ochils to be a level country, is yet the highest ground in the plain which stretches between Kinross and Stirling, and sends off its brooks in the opposite directions of east and west. Owing to the attraction of the hills on either side, it has many cloudy and rainy days, and later seasons than the adjacent districts. The Devon, though winding through the Perthshire section of the Parish for a number of miles, only touches

the County at the Crook-of-Devon ; and the two Queichs and the Gairneys, which drain the Parish on the north and east, have been shortly noticed in the introduction to the County. The principal minerals are— coal, limestone, sandstone, and ironstone, none of which, however, are wrought in the Kinross section of the Parish. There are two old fortalices or strengths, with gun-holes and turrets, in the

Parish ; but only one of these— Tulliebole Castle, the property of Sir Henry Wellwood Moncrieff, Bart. —is in Kinross-shire. A small rising ground at the east end of the village of Crook-of-Devon, called the Gallow Knowe, was the scene of a capital punishment judically inflicted, in the 17th century, by the proprietor of Tulliebole, on one of his vassals for the crime of murder; and reminds posterity of the jurisdiction formerly exercised by the Scottish barons. The Parish is traversed by the road from Kinross to Stirling, and by other turn-

pike and statue-labour roads ; and the Devon Valley Railway, now in course of formation, runs through the centre of the Parish, from east to west.

Fossoway and Tulliebole were united into one parish about the year 1614 ; but for ja long time afterwards both Churches were used—the minister officiating two

Sabbaths in Fossoway and one in Tulliebole ; but in 1729 a new Church was built for the united Parish, since which period there has been only one Parish Church. The present Church, which is at Fossoway, was built in 180G, and contains 525 sittings. There are also a Free Church at Fossoway, and a Chapel of Ease at Blair- ingone in Perthshire. The Parish School is a little to the east of the village of Crook-of-Devon, in addition to which there are a Free Church School at Fossoway, and a Subscription School at Carnbo.

This Parish, containing the town of Kinross, the capital of the County, is bounded by the parisli of Orwell on the north, by Portmoak on the east, by Cleish on the south, and by Fossoway on the west. Its greatest length eastwards is nearly four DIRECTORY. KINROSS. 227

and a half miles, and its breadth about four miles. Loch Leven flanks most of its

east side, separating it from Portmoak on the west ; and the North and South Quiech, and the Gairney, drain it eastward to that lake. The surface of the Parish is often called the Laigh of Kinross, on account of its being nearly surrounded by

hills in the four adjoining parishes ; and at no point does it rise higher than 100 feet above the level of Loch Leven. The soil in some places is clay, but generally it is a thin blackish loam on a gravelly bottom. The rocks are —sand-stone, limestone, and trap. Kinross House is a large and elegant structure, built in 1685, by Sir William Bruce, the celebrated architect, who built the modern part of Holyrood House, and many other mansions during the reign of Charles II. It is now the property of Sir- G.'G. Montgomery, Bart. The environs of Kinross are much indebted for their beauty to the pleasure-grounds and fine plantations which suiTOund this mansion, which stands near the northern entrance to the town, and opposite the castle island. On the promontory on which this mansion stands once stood a castle of great strength, and of which the town of Kinross was a dependance. This stronghold, long the residence of the Earls of Morton, was removed in 172-3. The name Kinross signifies "the head of the promontory," and alhides to the position of the town, or of the original Church, at the extremity of the point of land which runs into Loch Leven. The Parish is traversed by the roads from Cupar to Stirling, by the great north road from Edinburgh to Perth, by the Fife and Kinross Railway, and by the Kinross-shire Railway, which have a joint-station close to the town. The Devon Valley Railway, which is in course of formation, crosses the Parish westwards, and is to have a terminal station at Hopefield. The to'wn of Kinross is situated at the west end of Loch Leven, on the great north road from Edinburgh to Perth—sixteen miles south by east of the latter town, nineteen south-west of Cnpar, twenty-three east-north-east of Stirling, and twenty-seven north, north-west of Edinburgh. It was formerly a very mean place, but has in recent times been much improved. The streets present a fair appearance, and a considerable portion of the private houses are new or modem. The County Hall is a handsome edifice, built in 18.36, at a cost of £2000. The Town-Hall is also a good building, erected in 1837, at an

expense of about £600 ; and the general aspect of the place, as compared with the surroimding landscape, particularly with Loch Leven and the encii'cling hills, is very pleasing. The chief employments of the inhabitants consist in weaving cotton fabrics for Glasgow houses, and the making of tartan shawls, plaids, and other woollen fabrics. The woollen trade is recent, and even yet cannot be said to be firmly established, although considerable energy has been displayed in its prosecution, and the trade of the district is rather retrograding. The town is governed by a committee of the inhabitants, annually chosen at a public meeting. The sheriff court and the sheriff small debt court are held every Tuesday, except during vacation. A justice of peace court is held on the first

Monday of every month ; and quarter sessions on the first Tuesday of March, May, and August, and on the last Tuesday of October. The Parish Church, which is a handsome Gothic edifice standing on a rising ground, was built in 1832. There are also a Free Church and two U. P. Churches, distinguished from each other as the East and the West. Besides the Parochial School there are a Free Church School, a Subscription School, and two Seminaries for young ladies. A corn market is held every Wednesday, and fairs for the sale of horses, cattle, and sheep, are held on the fourth Monday of March, the second Monday of June, and the fourth Monday of July and October. Hiring markets are held on the fourth Monday of July, and the first Thursday of October. The POST TOWN for the Parish and, with a few exceptions, the whole County, is Kinross, William Blackwood, Post Master. —Letters from all parts arrive at the 228 KINROSS. KINROSS-SHIRE

It is bounded on the north by the parishes of Forgan- denny and Arngask, on the east by Strathmiglo and Portmoak, on the south Leven, and by Fosaoway on the west. by Kinross and Loch Its length eastward is 232 ORWELL. KINROSS-SHIRE nine miles, its greatest bi'eadth is about three and a half miles, and its area is about twenty-one square miles. The surface in the southern and south-eastern districts is low and generally level, and diversified with rising grounds, and thence it gradually rises into hilly heights, called the Braes of Orwell, until, towards the northern boundary, it suddenly shoots up into a frontier range of the Ochils, with summits of about 1000 or 1100 feet above the sea. The soil in the low districts, though partly loam, is generally a sandy clay, occasionally mixed ^nth till or gravel ; and that of the arable portion of the heights is mostly a gffod sharp gravel, well adapted to green crop roots. Nearly two-thirds of the area is under cultivation, and the remainder is in pasture and wood, or waste. The prevailng rock is the old red sandstone, extensively dislodged and contorted by trap. A mass of clay porphyry, hard and compact, occupies several miles in the west, and a comparatively smaller, but immense mass of greenstone occurs in the east. The North Quiech, which rises near the north- west extremity, makes some little cascades among the hills, and, over a course of about six miles south-eastward to Loch Leven, drains the greater part of the Parish. The margin of Loch Leven touches the Parish for about a mile and a half. There are nine or ten considerable proprietors, and about fifty smaller ones, most of whom farm part or the whole of their own lands. Buileigh Castle, an ancient edifice, stands about a quarter of a mile to the south- east of the town of Milnathort. It seems to have originally formed a square, surrounded by a wall and ditch ; but the ruins are now incorporated with the buildings of a farm steading, though a great part of the exterior walls are still

standing ; as are also the western side of the square, consisting of two towers and an intervening curtain and gateway. The tower on the north-west angle is a large is circular square building ; that on the south-west of form, and seems to be the most modem part of the whole. Sibbald says that James Balfour, of Burleigh, was

President of the Session ; and it is said that James VI. created Sir Michael Balfour Lord Balfour of Burleigh, in 1606, he being then his majesty's ambassador to the Duke of Tuscany, and the Duke of Lorrain. Neaily 100 years ago the castle and lands of Burleigh were purchased by General Irwin, and afterwards sold to Thomas Graham, Esq., of Kinross and Burleigh. On the farm of Orwell, and near Loch Leven, are two standing stones, respectively sis and a half and eight feet high. Among the Ochils stands Carn-a-vain, formerly an immense collection of loose stones, but now much lessened by the removal of many hundred cart-loads, which were carried away for dyke building. The Parish is traversed by the road from Edinburgh to Perth, and by the road from Cupar to Kinross and Stirling. The Fife and Kinross Railway also crosses the south-eastern part of the Parish, and has stations at Milnathort and Mawcarse. The Parish Church is an old house, built in 1729, and closely adjoining Milnathort on the north. There are also a Free Church and a U. P. Church, both in Milnathort. In addition to the Parish School, there are a Subscription School, a Female Indus- trial School, and two Infant Schools, all in Milnathort.

This Parish, containing the villages, or rather hamlets, of Kinnesswood, Scotland Well, and Balgedie, is on the east side of the County. It is bounded on the west and north by Loch Leven and the parishes of Orwell and Strathmiglo, on the east by Strathmiglo, Falkland, and Leslie, and on the south by Auehterderran, Ballingry, and Cleish. Its extreme length from north-west to south-east is nearly six and a half miles, and its greatest breadth, which is on the south border, is three and a half miles. Its form is very irregular, being nearly cut into two portions by the indentation of Loch Leven on the west, and a detached section of Ballingry on the south-east. The total area is about 10,000 acres, nearly three-fourths of which is arable ; about 600 are under meadow and wood, and what remains is chiefly hill pasture. The soil of most of the arable land is light, early, and very fertile. The Bishop Hill is in the Parish, and occupies a large portion of the area in the north- east, rising in beautiful undulations on the north-north-east, and breaking pre- cipitously at the opposite end. It extends in a ridge whose summit-line is from one and a half mile to two and a fourth miles distant from the east side of Loch Leven, and it attains an extreme altitude of 1150 feet above the level of Loch Leven, or 1492 feet above the sea. A large portion of its fine braes is under cultivation. Benarty Hill, very similar in form, and attaining an elevation of 1167 feet, runs its summit-line along the southern boxmdary. Those portions of the Parish not occupied by these hills consists of narrow hanging plains at their base ; and the whole surface is a "rich landscape of braes, crags, meadows, fertile fields, and thriving plantations, reflecting their beautiful surface from the mirror of Loch Leven." Limestone occurs in great abundance, and is wrought to the extent of several thousand tons a year. Wells of pure water are numerous on the west side of the Bishop Hill, and in one place near the village of Scotland Well there are three not far from each other, which emit as much as, with a suitable fall, would drive a mill. The Parish is traversed by the road from Leslie to Milnathort, and by that from Scotland Well to Gaimey Bridge. The Fife and Kinross Railway skirts the northern border, and the Kim-oss-shire Railway touches the south-western section of the Parish. The hamlets of Scotland Well, Kinnesswood, and Balgedie, are all on the road leading from Leslie to Milnathort. Kinnesswood was the birthplace of Michael Bruce, the bard of Loch Leven. A neat monument was erected to his memory in Portmoak Parish Church, in 1842. Andrew Winton, the chronicler, was a native of the Parish ; and the Rev. Ebenezer Erskine, one of the founders of the Secession Church, was its minister during some of the years of his connection with the Established Church. Scotland Well may be styled the capital of the 286 PORTMOAK. KINROSS-SHIRE

Parish, as there the Parish Chm-ch and the Free Chui'ch are situated. Portmoak itself was, previous to the drainage, on the margin of the lake, and consists of nothing more than a farm steading, and a deserted burying-ground surrounded by a few trees. Here once stood a religious house of a very ancient order, according to Keith, taking its name from St Moak, and having the adjunct of Port, from the spot being the landing-place from the Priory of St Serf, which has been already noticed in the introduction to the County. The Parish Church, which was built in 1840, contains 850 sittings. There are also a Free Church at Portmoak, and a U. P. Church at Balgedie. Besides the Parish School, which is at Scotland Well, there are a Free Church School at Wood- march, and a Subscription School at Kiunesswood. For Postal Arrangements see Kinross.

In the introduction to this Parish, substitute the following for the last sentence

of the second paragraph : — From this family the estate was purchased,

about the year 1720, for Captain Alexander Dalgleish, then in India ; who, along with other English gentlemen, was massacred at Judda, when on his way home. He was succeeded in the estate by his next brother, William, minister of Carnbee,

whose son James, Sheriff of the County, was the next proprietor ; and who, dying unmarried, was succeeded by his brother, Robert Dalgleish, D.D. This gentleman held the very unusual position of minister and sole heritor of his Parish, and also of a considerable portion of the adjoining parish of Forgan. As a proof of the great increase in the value of land in Scotland since 1720, it may be stated that Scots- craig was then purchased for £5000. For Haxton, Alexander, Railway Agent, read J. Menzies.

DIRECTORY ADVERTISER. THE SCOTTISH WIDOWS' FUND, The Oldest Life Assurance Office in Scotland, IS NOW, IN EXTENT OF BUSINESS AND ANNUAL REVENUE, THE LARGEST MUTUAL LIFE OFFICE IN THE WORLD. L—BONUS SYSTEM. The whole Profits belong to the Members, and are divided among them alone, there being no Shareholders, as in Proprietary Companies, to participate in the Profits. Bonuses are declared on the Original Sum assured, and on Bonuses added at pre-

vious Divisions of Profits ; and, accordingly, the Policies of this Society increase in a ratio similar to a Sum of Money laid out at Compound Interest. At the last Division of Profits for the seven years ending 31st December 1859, the additions varied from £1, 12s, 6d per Cent, on the Original Sum assured under the Youngest Policy, up to *3, 6s per Cent, per Annum on the Older Policies. These additions formed ONE OF THE LARGEST BONUSES EVER DECLARED BY ANY INSURANCE COMPANY, Beinci Eqiuil to an Average Bonus, mi the Seven Premiums Paid, up to 31st December 1859, of From £50 per Cent, on the most Eecent Policies, to £107 per Cent, on the Older Policies. Persons intending to Effect Assurances will bear in mind that these unusually large Bonuses have all been declared out of Profits actually realized, and that every element of Profit ever possessed by the Society, with vastly increased resources, remains for the increase of present and new members' Policies. II.—CASH VALUE OF POLICIES PAYABLE ON DEMAND. Many Offices decline giving any Surrender Value, unless the Policy shall have been of a certain number of years' standing, although the premiums paid greatly exceed the risk borne by the Office and the proper expenses of the assurance. The practice of the Scottish Widows' Fund is, and always has been, to pay at any time from the day of the issue of a Policy its actual Office value, and even when the Policy lapses by Non-Payment of the Premiums during the 13 months within which they can be received, an allowance equal to the Full Surrender Value is paid.

INSURANCE COMPANIES. DIRECTORY LIFE ASSOCIATION OF SCOTLAND. Founded 1838 Empowered by Royal Charter d: Act of Parliament.

The Association has now in operation two separate Schemes of Asiurance. ORIGINAL SCHEME—[CLASS A), ORDINARY ASSURANCE.

The Original Scheme of the Association has been in operation for twenty-three years, and is arranged expressly with the view of reducing the expense of Life Assurance as low as is consistent with security.

1. AN ALLOCATION OF PROFIT is made yearly to aU Policy-holders who were of Five years' standing at the date of the preceding balance, and so as to reduce the outlay for the policies. Policy-Holders of the First Series have thus for many years been

called on to pay only 123 6d {instead of 20s) per £1 of their premiums ; the remainder having been paid from the profits. For example, a Policy-holder, whose

premium is £50, obtains this year a return from the profits of £18, 153 ; and another, whose premium is £20, obtains £7, lOs. The saving to the Policy-holders thus effected on a policy of £1000 has been as follows :

Age. If opened in 1845. If opened in 1850. If opened in 1865.

60 £639 2 3 £409 16 5 £212 8 6 65 524 4 11 338 3 3 174 4 11 50 431 14 8 276 16 10 143 9 11 45 356 19 228 17 9 118 12 10

and so on at every age, and with all policies of more than five years' standing. The Second Series commenced to participate in profits at the Division in 1861, when a reduction of 25 per cent. (53 per £1) from their next year's premium was declared. 2. THE OUTLAY FOR A POLICY may be materially lessened also, untU the time of parti-

cipating in profits, by the Half-oredit System ; under which only half the premiums for the first six years need be paid, the other half remaining unpaid (at interest) as long as the Assured pleases. 3. FREEDOM FROM RESTRICTIONS.—Tlie Policies now being issued are free from some important Restrictions imposed by other Ofiices, and confer unusual privileges. They are thus peculiarly valuable as securities for Money, Family Provisions, and for every other purpose.—See Prospectus for full Explanations. ON 5th APRIL NEXT, THIS SCHEME WILL CLOSE FOB, THE OURBENT YEAR. Thost who tnter on or before that date will secure special advantages over later Entrants.

NEW SCHEME—iCLASS B). UNCONDITIONAL ASSURANCE. While the Policies of the Original Scheme have been relieved of many of the usual imper- fections of Assurance Policies, the Association has, by this New Scheme, met the desire of late manifested for a system still more simple and unconditional.

1. NO FORFEITURE (as is usually the case) by omission to pay a premium through accident

or oversight ; and after Five years, payment of a premium may be intentionally postponed for a year.

2. NO RESTRICTIONS as to Occupation, Residence, or Travelling ; and no Extra Premiums can ever be payable. 3. THE LIABILITY of the Associtttion for the Sum Assured continues even if death happen by Suicide, Duelling, &c. 4. THE VALIDITY OF THE POLICY cannot be questioned in so far as an Assignee is con-

cerned ; and, under any circumstances, the Assurance becomes xmquestionable and indefeasible by the lapse of Five years. 6. THE WITHDRAWAL of a fixed and unusually large proportion of his payments, either as a loan on security of the policy, or for its surrender, after the first year, is in the power of the Policy-holder. 6. ALLOCATIONS OF PROFITS in the form of Bonus additions to the sum assured, with the option of equivalent cash payments. The Policies of this New Scheme have, therefore, an Extraordinary Value and Importance, and afford complete protection under almost all circumstances. It is, how- [See Next Page.'[ .. . ..

TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL MEETING, 1861. THE CHAIRMAN said—Looking to all the Offices in the Kingdom, we find that of those established as late as ours not one has come up to lis in general business, except it may be one, and in that case, the difference, if any, is not great, while our own Realised Fund considerably exceeds theirs. If we look, on the other hand, to all the Ofiices older than ours, numbering probably about sixty, we have gone a-head of about one-half of them in the amount of our Accumulated Fund, and of nearly three-fourths of them in the number of our Members. The Repokt stated that 730 new Assurances had been effected, for £326,344 103, with £10,165, 8s 4d, of new Premiums. The total Receipts of the year were £131,346, 7s 2d. The claims by death, 85 in number, were £43, 348 18s, being greatly under the estimated amoimt. There had been issued in all 10,980 Policies, for £4,912,244 10s. The subsisting amount was £3,713,655 5s. The Realized Fund, arising entirely from accumvilated Premiums, was £700,638, 2s Id.

The ADVANTAGES which this Society offers to good lives are a greatly largev original Assurance for the same Premium, and eventually as large additions as where the ordinary high rate of Premium is charged. For the same yearly sum as large an assurance may be secured from the first, as can be looked for elsewhere after many years' accumulation of Bonuses. Thus, a policy for £1200 or £1250 may be had for the premium usually charged for £1000 only. In addition to this immediate advantage, the whole profits are secured to the Policy-holders themselves, and are divided on a system peculiarly favoui'able to good lives, no share being given to those by whose early deaths there is a loss to the Society. Policies originally for £1000, which have shared at the two Septennial Divisions, have thus already been increased to £1300 £1500, and in some instances to £1780.

Are HIGHLY FAVOURABLE TO INTENDING INSURERS, it being by them an easy matter for a person with a moderate Income to Insure *is Life ; for instance, by the Alternative System, a person aged 30 next birthday may effect an Assurance of L.500 on his Life, with a Share of the Profits, for an Annual Premium of L.8 6s 3d, being two-thirds of the full Premium, the remaining third accumulating with Interest as a debt upon the Policy, to be deducted at death from the sum assured. The impaid third of the Annual Premium without Interest being L.4 33 2d, and the Bonuses hitherto declared having been L.l 53 per cent, per annum, or L.6 5s for L.500, the unpaid principal of the debt is extinguished, and an overplus of L.2 Is lOd per annimi left to the credit of the Assured. By anotlier method—viz., the Half-credit System— a person aged 30 next birthday may effect an Assurance of L.500 on his life for an Annual Payment of L.6 4s (which is only Half of the full Annual Premium) during the first seven years, with interest on the re-

maining half ; and at the end of seven years the Premiums unpaid may continue a debt upon the Policy, interest only being paid upon the amount, and the full Annual Premium of L.IO 73 lid being then payable. These are only two examples of many plans of Assurance adapted by the Company to meet the wants of parties, and both Schemes are rapidly advancing in favour with Insiirers.

TO THE PUBLIC IT WILL BE OF IMPORTANCE TO KNOW THAT—

1. The Company being an old one, having existed for 56 Years, its operations are guided by a very large experience. 2. The Investment of the Funds is carefully supervised, and those of the Life are kept distinct from the Fire. 3. The Expenses of Management are moderate, and each department bears its share. 4. At each Division of Profits a marked Improvement has been shown, and the value of the Policies been considerably enhanced.

On application at the Head Office and Branches every information will be given to appli- cants explanatory of the diff'erent forms of Life Assurance in use by the Company.

Policies are issued by tlie Company promding for Accidents by Fire to Houses, Manufactories, Furniture, Goods, and Merchandise, Farming Stock, Shipping in Port and Dock, aiul while Building or used in Navigable Canals, and almost every other description of Property, inchid- ing the Payment of Rent while Buildings are untenantable through damage by Fire. Losses by Gas Explosions are admitted, and Property burnt by Lightning paid for. Claims are adjusted with liberality, and settled with promptitude.

ESTABLISHED 1825.

Constituted by Special Acts of Parliament.

PROGRESS OF THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS.

THE Business of the Company has increased steadily year by year, until it has attained its present largo amount. The Standard has transacted a larger amount of Business during the last fifteen years than any other Office.

From 1845 to 1850 the amount of Assurances effected was £2,146,641 12 9 From 1850 to 1855 the amount of Assurances effected was 2,492.988 6 7 From 1855 to 1860 the amoimt of Assurances effected was 2,815,455 3

Total, . . £7,455,085 2 4 These results have not been attained by any other than constitutional means, and the Directors are satisfied that, large as the Business has been, no office can exhibit a better class of risks. It has not been increased by the inducement of personal loans. The Directors have not followed the practice of assuring deteriorated lives on enhanced terms, nor has the Standard obtained business by means of agencies out of the United Kingdom. In short, it is a first-class home Business, the Assurances being almost entirely, as stated in the Proposal for Assurance, effected in connection with Family Provisions and Marriage Settlements.

The Kevenue of the Company was in 1845, . . £103,371 3 5 „ „ „ „ 1850, . . 169,151 16 i „ „ „ „ 1855, . . 237,450 1 9

1860, . . 304,161 13 7 THE POLICIES OF THE STANDARD LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY ARE MORE VALUABLE THAN ORDINARY POLICIES, Inasmuch as they are free from extra Premiums in the case of Foreign residence, when the Directors are satisfied there is no intention or prospect on the part of the Assured to reside abroad. They are also free from other restrictive clauses. These are great benefits. Take as an example a liferenter who assures his life. In ordinary Policies he is limited to residence in Europe, and his Policy is subject to forfeiture on various grounds. A Standard Free Policy, once obtained, contains but one condition—payment of the Premium, and for that, too, increased facilities

are given ; while, at the end of five years, the Assurance Deed becomes— as regards any question—a simple promise to pay on proof of death. If the Policy is to be made the basis of a Marriage Contract, or to be a security in any way, the

advantage of a Free Assurance is undeniable ; and, in the present day, every Policy, it may be said, becomes, in the course of its existence, in some way or other, the groundwork of a responsible transaction. THE PROFITS OF THE COMPANY Have been divided on six occasions—in 1835, 1840, 1845, 1850, 1855, and 1860 —when large additions were made to Policies under the peculiar mode of division adopted by the Company, which is essentially Tontine, affording very important advantages to Assurers.

CALOTYPED BY MR RODGER, ST ANDREWS.

DRAWN ON STONE by Mr C. SCHACHER.

LITHOGRAPHED BY MRW. H. MACFARLANE, EDINBURGH. PUBLISHED BY JOHN 0. ORR, CUPAR-FIFE.

This Exquisite Work will be completed in 20 Parts at 5s each, and the Publisher guarantees that all the Pictures in the series will be characterised by that thorough correctness in detail, and beauty of finish, so much admired in the Parts already issued, the illustrations of which have been pronounced by competent judges to be the finest Landscape Lithographs ever Published in Scotland.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. (From the Edinburgh Eveniiuj Coiirant.)

The Work is to be completed in twenty parts, and each part will contain three views, literal transcripts from calotypes by Mr Rodger, the celebrated photographer of St Andrews, and twelve pages of descriptive letterpress. We have now before us the two first numbers, containing views of Dysart from the beach ; the Ivy

Bridge, grounds of Leslie House ; Cathedral Ruins, St Andrews ; Palace Ruins,

Dunfermline ; Wemyss Castle ; and the town of Cupar. All of these have been delicately and carefully lithographed after the calotypes of Mr Rodger ; biit we may mention the view in the grounds of Leslie House, and that of the Cathedral ruins of St Andrews, as being particularly good. The author of the letterpress displays great familiarity with the history and antiquities of the Kingdom of Fife ; and his account of the glories of the ancient burgh of Dysart before the Union ; of the genealogy of the present possessor of Wemyss Castle, and of the ancient family of the Leslies, Earls of Rothes, hereditary sheriffs of the County of Fife ; cannot faU to be read with much interest. From the Daily Review.

The most beautiful work we have seen produced by a provincial publisher. . . A work immeasurably superior to any of this class which has yet appeared. Such perfect /ac similes of Calotypes that it requires a second look to satisfy us " " that they are really Lithographs. . . The Kingdom of Fife is rich in scenes, famous for natural beauty, or historic association, and many will be glad to possess so valuable a record of all that is interesting in this county, described by able and well-informed writers, and embellished by such gems of art as these which have already appeared. From the Caledonian Mercury. The design of this Work is extremely happy, and judging by the parts before us,

it promises to be successfully realised. . . . The illustrations, so far as pub-

lished, embrace Dysart from the Beach ; the Ivy Bridge, near the entrance of the Lothrie into the Leven, a pretty " bit ;" the Cathedral Ruins, St Andrews, charm-

ingly rendered ; the Palace Ruins at Dunfermline ; Wemyss Castle ; and Cupar. Each of these is accompanied with a lively historical and descriptive pen-and-ink " sketch, apparently by a well-infoiined, and we should say, artistic hand." . The artistic public are certain to have a most tasteful and interesting Work. The parts are elegantly printed on fine paper, and do great credit to the publisher. 42 ADVERTISEMENTS. DIRECTORY

In announcing the above more frequent issue of the FIFE HERALD, the Publisher feels that the Subscribers and the People of Fife generally do not require to be instructed as to the desirability of such a change. Were he to do so, he could only "ring the changes" on the programmes issued by so many country papers during the last few months. He may, however, call attention to a few of the numerous advantages accruing to both Readers and Advertisers from the Bi- Weekly issue. 1. Readers will, for a very trifling increase of Annual Subscription, receive Two Papers in place of One, together showing an increase of matter to the extent of more than TWELVE COLUMNS WEEKLY. 2. The News, both General and Local, will of course be both fresher and fuller; and the space devoted to County and other Meetings, to Local News generally, as well as to the Literary and Agricultural Departments, greatly increased. 3. The HERALD being hereafter issued as an Afternoon Paper, will contain not only the full Telegraphic News of the Morning Papers, but also a Telegraphic Summary of the Morning News, such as only appears in the Second Editions of the Daily Papers. This very important improvement will, to a great extent, anticipate the latest News of the Papers of the following day. Reports of Public Meetings and Local Incidents occurring on Monday and Wednesday Evenings wiU also find a place in the following day's issue. 4. The HERALD of Tuesday (Published about Two o'clock) will contain a report of that day's Cupar Market. 5. Advertisers will find it manifestly to their interest to avail themselves of the opportunities afforded them by the Bi-Weekly issue of the leading County Paper of Fife. The Publisher has every reason to believe that a very enlarged Circulation (extending to every part of the County) will be the result

of the change ; and he will be prepared to treat with Advertisers for Contract Business on liberal tenns.
