and Dundee section of the North British
railway; the parish, which is in the small
debt court district of Cupar-Fife, extends 8

breadth varying from 2 to 4 miles. Thi.
boundaries of the parish are on the north
Kembnck and Cupar parishes, on the east
Cameron and Kilconquhar, on the north'

has an embattled tower with spire. It
will seat 1,100 persons. There are two
United Free churches in the village ; and
two public schools, situated respectively at
Craigrothie and Ceres. The inhabitants are
mostly employed in agriculture. Lime and
coal are found at Newbigging and The
Teasses. Races are regularly held here on
the last Saturday in June, to commemorate
the battle of Bannockburn, fought 24 June,
1314. The Leith Holiday Home (formerly
the Adamson Institute) provides a fort-

mile south of the village is Craighall
Castle, the seat of the Hope family from
1625, but now also in ruins; and near
Craigrothie are the ruins of Struthers, the
original seat of the Earls of Crawford.
