It is due to the Public to state that, in order to procure informa- tion for the " City " portion of this Directory, from Five to Six Thousand Schedules were issued, for the purpose of being filled up by the Inhabitants. In transcribing these Schedules, the utmost care was taken to preserve the exact address and orthography of Name which had been given; and, still farther to preserve the accuracy of the Work, the ' whole of the Names, after they had been put into type, were again, at a large sacrifice of time, care- fully compared, one by one, with the original Schedules. The " County " Directory, which forms an important part of the Work, has been made up from returns furnished, in almost every instance, by the Schoolmasters of the respective Parishes. To the Gentlemen who have thus so kindly assisted him, the Publisher gladly embraces the present opportunity of returning his most grateful thanks. The short delay which has occurred in getting the Work issued, has been as much a disappointment to the Publisher as it can have been to his Subscribers. To those of them, however, who may have been incommoded by the delay, he begs to offer a respectful apology, and to assure them that, from the complicated and laborious nature of the Work, (this Directory being an entirely new compilation), the delay was found to be quite un- avoidable.

Markinch Conservation Area is 1 of 48 Conservation Areas located in Fife. These are all areas of particular architectural or historic value, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance. Fife Council is keen to ensure that the quality of these areas is maintained for the benefit of present and future generations. Conservation area designation is not a means to preserve an area without change, but there is a joint responsibility between residents and the council to ensure that change is not indiscriminate or damaging, and that the unique character of each area is respected.

    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.

Constructed in conjunction with the MARKINCH HERITAGE GROUP and introduced, with place-name commentary, by Dr Simon Taylor. An exploration on foot of some places and their names in and around Markinch. Duration: about 3 hours. Stout footwear required. 2 A Place-Name Walk in Markinch Introduction What is a place-name walk? It is a walk through past and present, through landscape and language. It is an attempt to see the modern environment through the eyes of the people who gave it the names which we still use today, taking the names themselves as our guides. These names are guides also to the languages of the past: for Fife these are chiefly Pictish, Gaelic and Scots, together spanning around 1,500 years, with some names going back even further, perhaps into the first millennium BC, names such as Fife itself, or the river-names Leven and Ore. However, earlier than that we cannot go: we have no idea, for example, what language or languages were spoken by the people who built the henge at Balfarg, the stone circle at Balbirnie or the burial cairn at Law Head, all of which were constructed between about 4,000 and 5,000 years ago. There may be echoes of their languages still in some of our place- names, but if so, they are too faint and distorted for us to hear.

    Statistical Accounts of Markinch Parish 1

    Statistical Accounts of Markinch Parish THE ‘OLD’STATISTICAL ACCOUNT. The volumes are headed ‘The Old Statistical Account of Scotland drawn up from the Communications of the Ministers of the Different Parishes by Sir John Sinclair, Bart.’ Details of the printer, as detailed on the inner leaf of the book - Edinburgh: Printed and sold by William Creech; also sold by J. Donaldson, and A. Guthrie, Edinburgh; T.Cadell, J. Stockdale, J. Debrett, and J. Sewel, London; Dunlop and Wilson, Glasgow; Angus and Son, Aberdeen. Introduction It is now about twelve months since I first had the honour of circulating among the Clergy of the Church of Scotland a variety of queries, for the purpose of elucidating the natural history and political state of that country. My original idea was, to have drawn up from their returns a general statistical view of North Britain, without any particular reference to parochial districts. But I found such merit and ability, and so many useful facts and important observations in the answers which were sent to me, that I could not think of depriving the Clergy of the credit they were entitled to derive from such laborious exertions; and I was thence induced to give the work to the public in its present state. It would have been more desirable to have had the accounts of the different parishes arranged by presbyteries or Counties, for the purpose of the connection, and to prevent repetition, where the circumstances of the different districts were nearly similar. But it was not to be expected that complete information respecting any one of the larger divisions of the Kingdom, could be at once obtained.
