INVERKEITHING is a royal burgh, a sea-port,<br />
and <strong>the</strong> capital <strong>of</strong> its parish ; most agreeably situated<br />
on an acclivity springing from <strong>the</strong> margin <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> bay<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Firth <strong>of</strong> Forth, in <strong>the</strong> county <strong>of</strong> Fife, and<br />
about 2 miles from <strong>North</strong> Queensferry, 14 N.W. from<br />
Edinburgh, 13 S.W. from Kirkcaldy, 4 from Dunfermline,<br />
and 31 S. from Perth. There is now in<br />
course <strong>of</strong> construction a hne <strong>of</strong> railway, which it is<br />
expected will add greatly to <strong>the</strong> prosperity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
town. The burgli, in conjunction with Dunfermline,<br />
Stirling, Cuh-oss, and South Queensferry sends one<br />
member to parliament. The town consists chiefly <strong>of</strong><br />
two streets, well paved and gas lighted, and containing<br />
some excellent and well furnished shoi^s ; <strong>the</strong>re<br />
are also in <strong>the</strong> neighbourhood a large ironioundry,<br />
fcs brick and tile works ; and rope making and ship<br />
building are carried on extensively. There are many<br />
remains <strong>of</strong> antiquity, among which may be men-<br />
tioned Sosyth Castle, which bears date 1561. This<br />
castle is alluded to in Sir Walter Scott's novel <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
"Abbot" as being <strong>the</strong> birthplace <strong>of</strong> Ohver Cromwell's<br />
wife. The harbour is capacious, and <strong>the</strong> bay is<br />
noted as a place <strong>of</strong> security in all winds. The places<br />
<strong>of</strong> worship are a church <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Estabhshment, and<br />
one for United Presbyterians. There is also a board<br />
school, and societies for <strong>the</strong> Propogation <strong>of</strong> Christianity.<br />
A fair is held on <strong>the</strong> first Friday in August.<br />
Hillend, James Town, and Rosyth are hamlets in<br />
<strong>the</strong> parish <strong>of</strong> Inverkeithing.<br />
