  • The Place Names of Fife and Kinross
    1 n tllif G i* THE PLACE NAMES OF FIFE AND KINROSS THE PLACE NAMES OF FIFE AND KINROSS BY W. J. N. LIDDALL M.A. EDIN., B.A. LOND. , ADVOCATE EDINBURGH WILLIAM GREEN & SONS 1896 TO M. J. G. MACKAY, M.A., LL.D., Advocate, SHERIFF OF FIFE AND KINROSS, AN ACCOMPLISHED WORKER IN THE FIELD OF HISTORICAL RESEARCH. INTRODUCTION The following work has two objects in view. The first is to enable the general reader to acquire a knowledge of the significance of the names of places around him—names he is daily using. A greater interest is popularly taken in this subject than is apt to be supposed, and excellent proof of this is afforded by the existence of the strange corruptions which place names are wont to assume by reason of the effort on the part of people to give some meaning to words otherwise unintelligible to them. The other object of the book is to place the results of the writer's research at the disposal of students of the same subject, or of those sciences, such as history, to which it may be auxiliary. The indisputable conclusion to which an analysis of Fife—and Kinross for this purpose may be considered a Fife— part of place names conducts is, that the nomen- clature of the county may be described as purely of Goidelic origin, that is to say, as belonging to the Irish branch of the Celtic dialects, and as perfectly free from Brythonic admixture. There are a few names of Teutonic origin, but these are, so to speak, accidental to the topography of Fife.

  • Major Emergency Plan
    MAJOR EMERGENCY PLAN Fife Council Major Emergency Plan FOREWORD The public are exposed daily to emergencies that are routinely dealt with by the emergency services or other organisations. Serious or major emergencies, greater in scale and effect, occur less frequently but can involve threats and risks from many sources including natural phenomena and man made accidents as well as malicious acts and international terrorism. Experience has shown that to deal successfully with unforeseen disruptive events, resources beyond those normally available are required and that the best response is achieved when organisations that provide key public services work in partnership with the communities affected. The Government has recognised the need for improved protection of the public by introducing the Civil Contingencies Act 2004 which establishes a clear set of roles and responsibilities for those involved in emergency preparation and response at the local level. As a designated Category 1 Responder Fife Council is required to develop increased public resilience to deal with disruptive events as well as providing support to the emergency services. In the event of a major emergency in Fife e.g. a Lockerbie type incident, it is conceivable that every local authority service could be involved to some extent in the overall response. The Fife Council Major Emergency Plan has therefore been produced after full consultation with all council services, the emergency services and partner organisations, both statutory and voluntary, who in time of crisis may be asked to respond to bring the emergency to a satisfactory conclusion and thereafter to ensure the return to normality as soon as possible.
