EXCERPT FROM THE 1861 PAROCHIAL DIRECTORY FOR FIFE AND KINROSS

 

ABERNETHY.

THE greater part of the PARISH OF ABERNETHY IS in Perthshire, and that portion connected with Fife is generally hilly, and chiefly situated on the south slope of the Ochils. The inhabitants are nearly all engaged in agricultural pursuits. The Fife portion of the Parish is bounded on the east by Newburgh and Abdie, on the south by Auchtermuchty and Strathmiglo, and on the north and west by the Perthshire part of the parish. As only a small and unimportant part, and barely a fifteenth of the inhabitants are connected with Fife, we merely include in the Directory those resident in the county. There is neither a village nor a Post-Office in the Fife division of the Parish, and letters are sent, according to the several localities, through the Post-Offices of Abernethy, Newburgh, Auchtermuchty, and Strathmiglo, which see.
