Its entire length of course firstly as a river, and as an estuary, is thus, if measured in straight lines from the head of the Fillan 118 miles." Fullartons Gaztteer Vol p [Volume page] 783, 784 |

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.
