Description

Many remarkable things about Fife's origins never understood before are set out in detail here – a must read for all Fifers and those with an interest in the County. Drawn together for the first time:

  • The name “Fife” has a complete explanation.
  • Shakespeare's story of Macduff is refuted and the correct narrative offered.
  • Why “St Regulus” was invented and the true story of the arrival of the Bones of St Andrew.
  • Evidence of Kenneth mac Alpin's genocide in Fife is laid bare.
  • St Serf's true story is told – so different from what so many believe.
  • A proper explanation is given for the many Viking place names in Fife.
  • Corrected explanations for many place names (including Kirkcaldy and Dunfermline) are given for the first time.
  • And much much more.

The book also foreshadows several centenaries which fall in the period 2025-2030 in the hope that they will be celebrated appropriately.
