Raith, Fife

[3] Raith Hill, west of Auchtertool and immediately to the east of the Mossmorran fractionation plant, may also be in reference to this wider area or may refer to an actual fort on this hill, distinct to the one naming the area.

[4] The name is found in Kirkcaldy's professional football team, Raith Rovers.

[14][15][16][17] To the southeast, the artificial Raith Lake was formed by the damming of the Dronachy Burn in 1811 and 1812.

[14][18][19][20] From the late nineteenth century onwards, tracts of land of the Raith Estate were sold off and developed for housing and to form the town's Beveridge Park, expanding Kirkcaldy westwards.

[14] The modern housing estate bearing the Raith name dates from the latter part of the 20th century, long after the origins of the football team.
