Place names
The following 135 volumes contain information on the place names found in Fife and Kinross-shire parishes between 1853 and 1855. The Ordnance Surtvey name books for Fife were one of many sources used by a recent research project hosted by Glasgow University's Department of Celtic Studies, and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, which resulted in the five-volume publication, 'The Place Names of Fife' (2006-2013) by Simon Taylor, with Gilbert Márkus.
