Kemback is a village and parish in Fife, Scotland, located 2.5 miles (4.0 km) east of Cupar. The present village was developed in the 19th century to house those working the flax mills on the nearby Ceres Burn. From 1681 the minister for the parish was Alexander Edward, until 1689 when he was deprived as a non-juror. He went on to become an architect and landscape architect, working on schemes for Brechin Castle and Hamilton Palace.
Flood Zones, Warning Areas and Surface Water are Environment Agency maps and cover England only. Kemback is in Scotland, so they draw little or nothing here — that is where the map ends, not an absence of flood risk. SEPA’s warning areas have their own pages under flood areas.
Kemback is monitored by 1 Environment Agency river level station on the Eden (Fife), in Fife. Water levels are updated every 15 minutes, providing real-time flood monitoring for the area.
The Eden (Fife) is monitored by 1 station (Kemback). Each station records water levels continuously, with data synced to FloodRadar every 5 minutes.
No Environment Agency flood warning area is mapped within 10km of Kemback. That means the EA has not defined a warning target area here, which is not evidence the town cannot flood: warning areas exist where the EA runs a warning service, and surface-water and groundwater flooding have no warning areas at all. The EA’s register covers England only — Kemback is in Scotland, where the warning service is SEPA’s, and FloodRadar publishes its areas alongside the EA’s on the flood areas index.
If flooding is forecast in Kemback, call Floodline on 0345 988 1188 for the latest information. Move valuables upstairs, turn off gas and electricity if safe to do so, and avoid walking or driving through flood water.

Kemback gets about 719 mm of rain a year on average (wettest month October, 78 mm; driest April, 45 mm). That is 38% drier than the UK as a whole, which averages 1,163 mm a year. See the rain gauges →

No recorded flood outline within ~5 km of the Kemback town centre means no flood was mapped here, which is not evidence none happened: the Environment Agency mapped only some floods, mapping effort rose sharply after about 2000, and surface-water flooding is largely absent from this record. The Environment Agency's Recorded Flood Outlines cover England only, and Kemback is in Scotland — so an empty record here is an absence of coverage, not an absence of floods.
