Saline, Fife
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saline is a burgh in Fife, Scotland, some 8 kilometers to the north-west of Dunfermline.
At the 2001 Census the population was 1188, a decline from the 1235 recorded in the 1991 Census. The burgh has a primary school, a parish church and a golf course.
Formerly a weaving centre, Saline was not much redeveloped during the 19th and 20th centuries as the expansion of industrial mining in west Fife largely passed it by. As a result, Saline contains a sizable number of listed buildings, mostly 18th century weaver's cottages.
The burgh is dominated to the east-north-east by Saline Hill, 359 meters OD, with a hill fort on the eastern summit. The smaller hill to the south of east at Bandrum has standing stones on the peak.
