- This 562-page book is the product of a major funded project, and represents over eight years of research and writing. It consists of place-name surveys of 5 parishes, each provided with detailed historical introductions. There are full analyses of 660 individual place-names. There is a 90-page introduction to the whole volume, and 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, Thomas Owen Clancy, Peter McNiven and Eila Williamson; the first two of these are submitted here to REF, but the item is submitted under Taylor’s name. 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 (with substantial input from Clancy, also submitted to REF in this UoA); and of the introductions to the individual parishes; and responsible for the content of elements glossary.
