N.B./ Some of Fife Council's on-line politically differentiated local areas, are out of date and in consequence, they are contradictory. Local authority multi-seat "Wards" (existing since May 2007) are not necessarily the same as previously existing local authority defined areas. The local Authority map of local areas published in 2003, depicts Levenmouth as neither including the two westernmost Wemyss villages (i.e./ it included only East Wemyss), nor the 3 Largo Bay villages. HOWEVER, according to a map published in 2007 (presumably after May), "Levenmouth" is defined by the multi-member wards 22 & 23, which includes all the towns and villages and surrounding areas highlighted above. (i.e./ as on this map[4].)
