Sinopsis
Excerpt from A Bibliography of Works Relating to Dunfermline, Vol. 5: And the West of Fife, Including Publications of Writers Connected With the District
The present attempt at a Local Bibliography is the outcome of twelve years' collection and study of the subjects which lie within its scope. The Rev. David Imrie, of Free (now United Free) St. Andrew's Church, Dunfermline, has given much attention to a similar project for a period of twice this duration, - from the time, indeed, that he came to Dunfermline in I876, - with the natural result that he has brought together a very fine local library (now placed in the Dunfermline Archaeological Museum), including many items which it would be practically impossible to duplicate. The compiler of this list wishes prominently to acknowledge his indebtedness to Mr. Imrie for the free communication of much acquired knowledge, and also for the assistance given by sympathy in pursuit, often shown in a very practical form.
This list is in reality merely a catalogue, and as such (like a dictionary) will furnish proverbially dry reading. Foot-notes have been freely added, containing the outlines of such information as could be gathered from authentic sources, in regard to the authors named, - particularly so in the case of those who are no longer with us.

Excerpt from A Bibliography of Works Relating to Dunfermline, Vol. 5: And the West of Fife, Including Publications of Writers Connected With the District
The inclusion of these, as of others, may seem to invite criticism. It can only be replied that the difficulty was recognised, and an endeavour made to meet it, by transferring these names (with a very few exceptions, such as James VI.) into an Appendix C, which comprises authors who were not natives of the locality, and whose connection therewith was not more than comparatively transitory.
No items are included with regard to King Robert the Bruce other than those relating to his Tomb and reinterment, although his son (afterwards David II.) was born at Dunfermline in 1324, and the town (or rather the Palace, if it then existed) was at that period a Royal residence, in more than empty title. King Charles I. (like his father. King James) has also presented a real difficulty as to treatment, since the subject could, at will, be almost indefinitely expanded. Still, he takes precedence as Dunfermline's most conspicuous native, and whatever were his faults (a question not very germane to our standpoint of Literature), it will now be generally acknowledged, speaking candidly and in measured terms, that he was treated by his opponents with to say the very least unwarrantable barbarity. Cromwell and his apologist, Milton, with all extenuations, do not clear themselves from this charge.
The West of Fife has certainly contributed its share towards the formation of the national character, and possesses many links connecting it with the Ecclesiastical and Civil history of our country.
The very earliest local author, whose name definitely appears in these pages, is Walter Bower, Abbot of Inchcolm, who wrote a continuation of Fordun sScotichronicon, and died about the middle of the fifteenth century.
