Fife
Fife is an historic county of Scotland. (For more information about the ancient counties of the UK, see the historic counties page and the place types page.)
From The Topographical, Statistical, and Historical Gazetteer of Scotland, 1847:
A county forming the easern portion of the central district of Scotland, being nearly in the middle of the great basin, of which the primitive mountain-ranges of the Lammermuirs on the south, and the Grampians on the north, constitute the boundaries.
Its form is peninsular, being enclosed on three sides by sea - by the German ocean on the east; and by the friths of Tay and Forth on the north and south; on the west it is bounded by the shires of Perth, Clackmannan, and Kinross, the last of which it almost encloses, except on the west and north-west, where it joins Perthshire.
The number of towns is, perhaps, unparalleled in an equal tract of coast; for the whole shore, from Crail to Culross, about 40 English miles, is one continued chain of towns and villages.
Also known as Fifeshire.
