The Links Sands
(signed) J.B. Mr. Gibson, the Town Clerk writes the following.

"Kirkcaldy sands" and Linkburn Sands are spoken of in the same manner as "Pathhead
Sands" or "The Sands" or Kirkcaldy Sands, and the "Links Sands" are the common
expression". See Sheet 4.

Transcriber's notes

The signatory J.B. is probably John Bayly Captain Royal Engineers who supervised much of the survey in this area.

Linkburn Sands probably should probably read Linktown Sands.

Ordnance Survey - Fife and Kinross counties

Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the counties of Fife in the east of Scotland and Kinross in central Scotland. The boundaries of these counties were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
