Synopsis
Excerpt from Biographical Dictionary of Eminent Men of Fife: Of Past and Present Times, Natives of the County, or Connected With It by Property, Residence, Office, Marriage, or Otherwise
Fife is an extensive and important county. It is, as above stated, in the form of a peninsula, having the waters of Tay on the north, and the Firth Of Forth on the south, and terminating in a point on the east, in the German Ocean, commonly called the East N euk. Its total area is about acres. It lies between 56° 3' and 56° 25' north latitude. It contains sixty-one entire parishes, besides portions of two 'others, seven teen Royal Burghs, eight weekly newspapers, a University, and of population, per census 1861; Fife, as has been well observed, has always occupied a prominent place in the history of Scotland. Though this prominence may be partly owing to the circumstance that both a royal residence and a University were situated therein, still, much must be due to that energy and enter prise which for centuries have characterised the native inhabitants, who have proved themselves equally ready to defend their country from foes, and to forward its best rights and interests.
