- Double-weighted statement
- This 733-page book is the product of a major funded project, and represents well over six years of research and writing. It consists of place-name surveys of 7 parishes, each provided with detailed historical introductions. There are full analyses of 750 individual place-names. There is a 90-page introduction to the whole volume, and a series of important medieval and early modern documents are edited and translated here with copious notes, some from archival documents for the first time. There is also a glossary of the elements found in the place-names.

- Additional information
- There is overlap in two limited portions of this volume with work published before 2014: 1) the brief (12 pages) introduction to the lay-out of the book; and 2) some of the entries in the elements glossary and other glossaries. Similar generic introductions, and earlier versions of some of the elements glossary entries, will be found in The Place-Names of Fife, vols 1-5 (2006-12: vol. 5 for the elements glossary). Both sections have been updated, and in the case of the elements glossary revised, with the examples drawn from place-names in this volume, and with many new entries.
This substantial volume is co-authored by Simon Taylor, Peter McNiven and Eila Williamson; only the first of these is submitted here to REF. Taylor was the lead researcher on the project which underlies the book; he was responsible for the overall content throughout. In addition he is the primary author of the extensive introduction to the volume; and of the introductions to the individual parishes; and responsible for the content of elements glossary. He edited and translated the original documents contained in the appendices.
