016 | [situation] In the town of Falkland. An open space or Yard on the West side of the Palace Wall and adjoining it. Many of the inhabitants consider that it was a rabbit warren or place for Keeping rabbits when the Kings of Scotland resided in the Palace and some are of the opinion that it was a place for Coining Money. Be that as it may there is still a doubt as to the correct orthography the authorities given are the principal persons in the town and the name as supplied is not the Scotch for rabbit nor for coinage. |

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.
