Dura Den, between Cupar and St Andrews, in Fife, a small glen through which runs a tributary of the Eden, has become famous on account of the numerous and beautifully preserved fossil fish entombed in its yellow sandstone, which belongs to the upper beds of the Old Red Sandstone. See Dr Anderson's Dura Den (1859).
