Inverkeithing
Inverkeithing ( ) is a town and a royal burgh in Fife, Scotland, located on the Firth of Forth. According to population estimates (2006), the town has a population of 5,265.〔 The port town was given burgh status by King David I of Scotland (1124–53) in the 12th century and is situated about 9 miles (15 km) north from Edinburgh Airport and about 4 miles from the centre of Dunfermline. Modern Inverkeithing is almost continuous with Rosyth and Dalgety Bay.
Inverkeithing is a developing town and has many new housing sites including one next to the town's railway station.
==Origin of name==
The name is of Scottish Gaelic origin, ''Inbhir Céitein''. ''Inbhir'' means 'confluence, inflow' thus 'mouth of the Keithing/Ceitein. The Keithing is the name of a small river or burn that runs through the southern part of the town. Taylor (2006) notes that the name Keithing probably contains the Pictish (Brythonic)
*coet, 'wood', so the Keithing burn would have meant 'burn that runs through or past or issues from woodland'.〔Taylor, Simon (2006) ''The Place-Names of Fife'', Shaun Tyas, Donington〕
