In these rocks are several caves, called Macduffs cave, the Hall-Cave, the Devils-Cave. Macduff is said to have lain concealed in the cave which bears his name, when flying from the jealous rage of Macbeth. In the level portion of the southern part of the parish is the neat and thriving little town of Colinsburgh. The village of Kilconquhar is situated near the church. The village of Earlsferry is situated on the same coast and is inhabited principally by weavers. The parish church was built in 1821. There are three dissenting meeting houses and six schools in the parish. The parochial teacher has the maximum salary including house & garden.

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.
