The Royal Burgh of Inverkeithing is an ideal location for both business and leisure guests with excellent transport links to the rest of Scotland.
Although today Inverkeithing is a commuter town because of its close proximity to Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland, it is steeped in history. Inverkeithing became a Royal Burgh by charter from William the Lion around 1165. This was important because only Royal Burghs were allowed to trade abroad. The Burgh land was divided into Roods, an ancient Scottish measurement made up of 4 Ells and typically ran East to West. Our B&B is called The Roods because it was built on the ground belonging to local farmers and in order to build the house, 8 roods, or strips of ground, had to be purchased from the landowners. |
