Fife has always been one of Scotland’s most distinctive counties.
Though never a ’kingdom’ in its own right, its geographical
position as a peninsular county between the firths of Tay and Forth
has helped maintain its self-contained identity through the ages,
and even today Fifers are notoriously proud of their varied and
beautiful corner of Scotland. Although the county has played a
central role in Scotland’s history since earliest times, its
period of greatest historical prominence was during the
pre-Industrial age. St Andrews was one of the country’s great
ecclesiastical centres from the tenth century onwards, as well as
the home of Scotland’s first university (1412). During Stewart
times, Dunfermline and Falkland were two of Scotland’s most
important towns. Not surprisingly for a county of such
extraordinary historical resonance, Fife contains a huge number of
churches, castles and houses that witnessed events that have quite
literally shaped the nation. In this book, Raymond Lamont Brown
introduces the reader to these places and those associated with
them - from the great abbeys of Lindores and Balmerino and the
major towns of St Andrews, Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy to the
beautiful villages of the East Neuk and the islands of the Firth of
Forth. In addition, he also introduces some of the less familiar
details from Fife’s to produce the most complete introduction to
this fascinating county currently available.
