TORRY, or Newmills, a village, in the parish of
ToRRYBURN, district of Dunfermline, county of Fife,
I5 mile (E.) of Culross, and i a mile (W.) from Torryburn
village; containing 411 inhabitants. This village,
which was formerly in a flourishing state, has greatly
declined in importance since the discontinuance of the
extensive salt-works, and of several collieries, in the
vicinity. The inhabitants are partly engaged in agricultural
pursuits, and partly at the remaining colliery;
and from its situation on the Firth of Forth, it participates
in the exportation of coal, which is the only trade
carried on here.
