As the unearthing of ancient Glenrothes music continues in the serialisation of the Daily Reckless Diary Of A Musical Nobody, here’s a little geographical background:

 

Anstruther Dysart and Leven
Cowdenbeath, Saline
Thy Kinghorn come,
Thy St Monans,
Or Earlsferry and Buckhaven.
Leuchars, Oakley, Auchtermuchty,
And forgive us our Glenrothes,
as we forgive those who rush past Glenrothes.
And lead us not into Dunfermline,
but deliver us from Elie
For Fife is the kingdom
Aberdour, and Kirkcaldy,
for Methil and Letham
Cardenden
