Notes

The 1951 Census parish table indicates there were 4 Districts of County in Fife in 1931 but does not identify how they relate to the 7 existing in 1951. It also notes that as this was the only DoC existing in 1931 with a boundary change in 1932, so it is likely Anstruther Doc and Weymss DoC were created from this unit.

The following alternate names exist for this unit:
