Moonzie

Moonzie is a small parish in Fife, Scotland, about 3 miles north-west of Cupar.

[1] It is bounded on the west by Creich, on the north by Kilmany, on the south-east by Cupar and on the south-west by Monimail.

Moonzie, its present name, is generally supposed to be a Gaelic word signifying Hill of the Deer.

[3] Moonzie Church, a simple rectangular building, is of uncertain date, but was renovated in the 18th, and altered in the 19th centuries.

The only significant watercourse in the parish is Moonzie Burn, which rises from the area of Lordscairnie Myre and after winding its way eastwards through several parishes, flows into the estuary of the River Eden at Guardbridge.
