NEWBUEGH is a parish, burgh, and seaport,
situated on the south bank of the Eiver Tay, and in
the County of Fife, six miles from Auchtermuchty,
11 from Perth, 15 from Dundee, 10 from Cupar, and
is a station on the Edinbui-gh, Perth, and Dundee
Lines of the North British Eailway. It consists of
one long street, parallel with the Eiver Tay, and a
few lanes leading to the shore and the railway
station. The government of the town is vested in a
provost, bailies, and councillors. The manufacture
of linen goods was at one time carried on very extensively.
At present there are five firms engaged
in this branch (all hand loom), but not to any great
extent, as at present the demand for the kind of
goods manufactured here is very limited. Considerable
quantities 'of timber, slate, grain, potatoes,
coal, salt, artificial manures, pavement, &c., are imported
and exported. At the harbour there are four
quays, all belonging to different proprietors. The
dues are the same, viz., one penny per register ton
on all veisels discharging, loading, or ballasting.
The receiver also pays one penny per ton. Passenger
steamers ply between Dundee and Perth, calling at
Newburgh, about three times daily, from May to
October. Newburgh is celebrated for its fruit,
especially pears and plums. It is said the sale of
fruit in a good season realises several thousand
pounds. The Town Hall stands near the centre of
the town, and has a tower containing a clock. There
are two banking establishments, the Bank of Scotland
and the Commercial Bank of Scotland, also a
Savings' Bank in connection with the latter, and the
Post Office Savings' Bank. There is a Public
Library containing about 2,000 volumes, and a
Church Library. The places of worship comprise a
Church of the EstabUshment, a Free Church, a
United Presbyterian, The Evangelical TJnion„and a
Baptist Church. There is an excellent Board School
at the east end of the town. Fairs are held on the
third Friday in June, and on the first Tuesday in
December for hiring servants.

about half a mile from the town, and extends several
miles, and contains the small villages of Glenburnie,
