The earliest historical record of the town was in the 12th century, when the monks of Dunfermline Abbey owned the harbour and neighbouring lands.[5] The settlement was known as Wester Kinghorn and developed as a fishing hamlet to provide food for the inhabitants of Rossend Castle.[6] The harbour was then sold to James V by the abbots of Dunfermline Abbey in exchange for a parcel of land.[6] The land was granted royal burgh status by James V in 1541.[5] When the status was confirmed in 1586, the settlement gained independence from the barony of Kinghorn and was renamed Burntisland,[6] possibly a nickname from the burning of fishermens' huts on an islet now incorporated into the docks.[7]
