EARLSFERRY, a royal burgh, for-
merly in the parish of Kilconquhar, but
transferred on 15th May, 1891, to that of
Elie, lies at the head of Elie bay, in the
civil parish of that name, which adjoins
Earleferry and is the nearest railway sta-

harbour. The royal burgh, which is in
the small debt court district of Anstruther,
is 13 miles south-east from St. Andrews
and 5 east from Largo, and remains in the
ecclesiastical parish of Kilconquhar. The

one was in consequence granted by James
IV. by which all its ancient privileges
were renewed and confirmed ; it is
