Crombie, a small village and an ancient parish in the SW extremity of Fife. The village stands 1¼ mile S of Cairneyhill, and 3¼ miles SW of Dunfermline. The parish is now incorporated with Torryburn, comprising that part of it to the S of the Burn of Torry, and also certain detached lands, which, distant 7½ miles, are annexed quoad sacra to Saliue. Its church stood on a commanding site, overlooking the Firth of Forth, and is now represented by some ruins.
