Carnbee, Fife

Carnbee is a village and rural parish in the inland part of the East Neuk of Fife, Scotland.

There is a very small village and the church (dating from 1793) stands amid agricultural land.

The second element, -bee, is obscure but probably derives from the Gaelic beith meaning 'birch' giving: "the cairn of (the) birch tree".

[1] The parish includes Kellie Castle, formerly the seat of the Earls of Kellie and home to the Lorimer family, including Robert Lorimer, who designed the pulpit in the parish church and the Carnbee War Memorial.
