Lyne Burn, a rivulet of Dunfermline parish, SW Fife, rising near Crossgates in the NE corner of the parish, and running 7 miles south-westward and southward through the interior and along the Torryburn border, till it falls into the Firth of Forth immediately to the W of Charlestown. It is often called Spital Burn, properly Hospital Burn, from its washing the site of the ancient Hospital of St Leonard's at the S side of Dunfermline town; and it receives, a little SW of that site, a tributary coming 2½ miles southward from Lochhead.—Ord. Sur., shs. 40, 32, 1867-57.
