CUPAR-FIFE: A. WESTWOOD. EDINBURGH : JOHN MENZIES. 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 under- taking, 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 improve- ment, will be thankfully received and made use of in future editions. It is to be regretted that, owing to various obstacles, the publi- cation 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.
