Scotland Genealogy: Fife
Census & County Records
FIFE, a maritime county of the east side of Scotland, lying
nearly in the middle of the lowland region, which is bounded
by the Lammermoors on the south, and the Grampians on the
north. It is a peninsula, enclosed by the frith of Tay on
the north, the German ocean on the east, and the frith of
Forth on the south; and it marches on the west with Perthshire,
Kinross-shire, and Clackmannanshire ...The southern coast
is, for the most part, indented by small rocky bays with corresponding
projecting headlands; but along the banks of the Tay, the
grounds slope gently toward the beach, and are generally cultivated
to the river's edge. Along the north-eastern shore, towards
St Andrews, it presents one large plain, terminating in a
flat beach of sand. [Bartholemew's Gazetteer of the
British Isles, 1887]
