FOR THE past four years the authors have been engaged in the study of raised shorelines and associated glacial retreat phenomena in the Tay basin, including the coast of eastern Fife as far south as Fife Ness (R.A.C.) and along the north side of the Forth valley and estuary (D.E.S.). The overall results of this work so far, together with those obtained by J. B. Sissons on the south side of the Forth, are summarized elsewhere in this volume (pages 9 to 18). The purpose of the present paper is to put forward the evidence relating to changes in the level of land and sea during the deglaciation of eastern Fife. The area considered includes the north coast of the promontory of eastern Fife from Fife Ness to the Eden estuary, and the south coast as far west as Leven and Windygates (Fig. i).
