Fife Ness
Fife Ness (Scottish Gaelic: Rubha Fiobha) is a headland forming the most eastern point in Fife. Anciently the area was called Muck Ross, which is a corruption of the Scottish Gaelic Muc-Rois meaning "Headland of the Pigs".〔Sibbald, Robert, ''The History of Fife'', p4〕 It is situated in the area of Fife known as the East Neuk, and forms the muzzle of the dog-like outline of the latter when viewed on a map. ''Ness'' is an archaic Norse word meaning "nose"), Fife Ness was (until late 2012 - see http://www.theguardian.com/society/2012/sep/27/forth-coastguard-fife-ness-closes after considerable controversy along with other similar stations) home to a Coastguard station and an important Northern Lighthouse Board lighthouse, warning shipping of the headland and the North Carr shoals. The lighthouse was built to replace the last in a series of lightvessels that guarded the treacherous rocks, as it had proved impossible to build a permanent lighthouse on the rocks themselves. Fife Ness is also surrounded by the links terrain of Crail Golfing Society. ==References==
