About: Star, Fife

An Entity of Type: village, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Star (also known as Star of Markinch) is a small village in Fife, Scotland. The name of Star derives from the old Norse word -starr- for the type of grass (sedge) that grows on boggy land. The area of land around the village has been and continues to be boggy with a raised bog to the northwest of the village which drains out to land to the north of the village. East of the village are two reservoirs, taking advantage of the already wet conditions. The boggy conditions attract thousands of overwintering greylag geese. Skeins of them can be seen flying over the village from October until early May.
