A RAMBLE among the grey old towns which skirt the ancient " Kingdom " of Fife, might well repay the architectural or archaeological investigator. He would not alight on anything so very ancient, perhaps, as those stone edifices of the English cathedral towns which sometimes develop traces of Norman work ; but there is an impressive and curious venerableness in the irre...gular scattered zigzag streets, and the dusky, eccentric, and often highly decorated buildings. Be- ginning with Queensferry and Inverkeithing, this series of ancient towns may be said to pass in one continuous chain round the Fifeshire coast to Abemethy. Some of them were places of great importance. To Inverkeithing the meeting of a sort of burghal parliament, which assembled there, communicated a metropolitan character, and it was at one time looked upon as the Scottish capital.
