Ore, a sluggish rivulet of SW Fife, flowing 17 miles east-by-northward through or along the borders of Dunfermline, Beath, Cleish, Ballingry, Auchterderran, Kinglassie, Dysart, and Markinch parishes, till it falls Into the Leven at a point 7 furlongs W by W of Windygates station. Its banks are everywhere flat, though in places prettily wooded; its current is muddy; and the trout, pike, and perch of its waters afford but indifferent fishing. See Lochore.Ord. Sur., sh. 40, 1867.
