CAENOCK, CAIENEYHILL, OAKLEY, SALINE AND TOERY.<br />

TOEEYBUEN is a parish and village, <strong>the</strong> latter is<br />

pleasant and salubrious, and <strong>the</strong> former is beautifully<br />

diversified, and <strong>the</strong> high grounds command fine<br />

views <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Firth <strong>of</strong> Forth and <strong>the</strong> Lothians, It is<br />

4^ miles W. from Dunfermline, 2 E. from Cukoss,<br />

and 6 E. from Kincardine. It lies in <strong>the</strong> south-west<br />

corner <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> county, being from four to five miles in<br />

length by about two in breadth. The parish, which<br />

is formed by <strong>the</strong> baronies <strong>of</strong> Torry and Crombie,<br />

derives its name from <strong>the</strong> Gaelic word Torry,<br />

signifying <strong>the</strong> "King's Height," and Burn, <strong>the</strong><br />

Scottish name for rivulet. It is impossible to form a<br />

harbour here on account <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> rocky state <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

shore, but <strong>the</strong>re is a pier at Orombie Point for landing<br />

goods and passengers. Oakley Station, on <strong>the</strong> <strong>North</strong><br />

British Eailway, is two miles from <strong>the</strong> village. The<br />

village <strong>of</strong> Lower Torry is within, <strong>the</strong> parish, and<br />

adjacent to <strong>the</strong> village <strong>of</strong> Torryburn. The places <strong>of</strong><br />

worship are <strong>the</strong> EstabHshed and Free Churches.<br />

There is also a board school. A fair is held at Torryburn<br />

on <strong>the</strong> second Wednesday in July.<br />

CAENOCK is a parish and village, <strong>the</strong> latter being<br />

four miles from Dunfermline. No business <strong>of</strong> any<br />

importance is carried on here. The gTouud is very<br />

fertile and in a high state <strong>of</strong> cultivation.<br />

OAKLEY and CAIENEYHILL are villages in <strong>the</strong><br />

parish <strong>of</strong> Carnock, <strong>the</strong> first named being about a<br />

mile from <strong>the</strong> village <strong>of</strong> Carnock. The iron foundry<br />

<strong>of</strong> Mr. David White, who employs a number <strong>of</strong> hands,<br />

is situate here. The village <strong>of</strong> Caimeyhill is about<br />

three miles from Dunfermline. The places <strong>of</strong> worship<br />

at Carnock, and one for Presbyterians at Caimeyhill.<br />
