Description
Fife in History and Legend by Raymond Lamont-Brown is a comprehensive introduction to Scotland's most distinctive county. Situated as a peninsular county between the firths of Tay and Forth, Fife has maintained its unique identity through the ages, earning the pride of its residents. From the tenth century onwards, St Andrews played a central role in Scotland's history as an ecclesiastical centre, while also being home to Scotland's first university. Other significant towns like Dunfermline and Falkland emerged during Stewart times. Fife is now renowned for its numerous churches, castles, and houses that have witnessed pivotal events shaping the nation. This book delves into the places and stories associated with Fife, including the great abbeys of Lindores and Balmerino, major towns like St Andrews, Dunfermline, and Kirkcaldy, and lesser-known villages in the East Neuk. Raymond Lamont-Brown provides a detailed exploration of this fascinating county, making it the most complete introduction currently available.
