ABERDOUR
ABEEDOUE is a parish, nearly square in fornij
being about 3^ miles each way, and is pleasantly
situated on the noi'th bank of the Fii'th of Forth, in
the county of Fife, 8 miles from Kirkcaldy, 10 N.W.
from Edinburgh (across the Firth), and 3 from
Burntisland, which is the nearest railway station.
It is an excellent bathing place, and is much resorted
to in the summer months by the citizens of Edinburgh
on account of the ready access obtained by
steam vessels and other means from the opposite
shore. The small island of Inchcolm belongs to the
parish of Aberdour. In the village are an Established
Chui'ch, a Free Church, and one for
Episcopahans. There are schools attached to the
two former.
