Buckhaven and Methil were formed in 1891 when the three towns of Buckhaven,
Innerleven and Methil united to form a Police Burgh.
Methil is said to have been created a Burgh of Barony in favour of David, 2nd
earl of Wemyss, by Archbishop James Sharp of St Andrews in 1622.
The burgh has not been recorded arms; the device on its seal shows a steamship
with sails on the sea and a fish in a net below.
