A parish in Fifeshire, extending from the shores of the Firth of Forth towards the north, about 9 miles in length. Its breadth at the south is three miles: about the middle two: but towards the north only from 1 to 1/2 mile. It is bounded on the south partly by the frith of Forth, and partly by the parish of Elie: on the east by the parishes of Newburn, Largo and in part by Largo-bay. The surface is highly diversified. Immediately from the beach at the south west end of the parish, Kincraig Hill rises to the height of about 200 feet above the level of the sea. Its southern front presents a perpendicular rugged wall of trap rock, of picturesque appearance. [continued]
