W.'s parochial directory for the counties of Fife and Kinross, containing the names and addresses of gentry, and of persons in business, etc

Preface

. In introducing to the public the First Edition of the Parochial Directory of Fife and Kinross, the Publisher begs to state that the work has been in contemplation for several years ; and that nothing but a deep sense of the labour and responsibility attending such an undertaking, has prevented its earlier appearance. Now, that the intention has been matured, he hopes that his labours will be generally appreciated. The Publisher expects that a work of such general utility as a Parochial Directory for the two Counties, will commend itself to the patronage of the public. Indeed, the interest taken in the under taking, and the assistance so heartily rendered by all classes, place its success beyond a doubt ; and he embraces this opportunity of returning his thanks to those gentlemen who gave their aid in getting up the various Parochial Lists, and correcting the Proofs, In particular, he begs to express his special thanks to William Patrick, Esq., Assessor of Lands and Heritages for the County of Fife, who most materially lessened his labours by placing at his disposal the Valuation Rolls made up by him ; and otherwise tendered such help as only one having a thorough knowledge of the County could give.

The Publisher is aware that, although every effort has been made to secure such a measure of accuracy as to make the undertaking worthy of the two Counties, some typographical and other errors will be found in the body of the work ; but he hopes that they will not interfere with its general usefulness ; and he rests satisfied that those who can best appreciate the difficulties attending the getting up of such a work, will be the most ready to overlook those minor faults which could scarcely be avoided in the first issue of such a publication. He is also aware that objections may be made to the manner in which some portions of the Directory are classified, but every suggestion for its improve ment, will be thankfully received and made use of in future editions. It is to be regretted that, owing to various obstacles, the publi cation of the Directory has been delayed considerably beyond the period originally anticipated.

That delay has rendered an Appendix necessary, in order to correct the earlier printed portions, so as to bring it as nearly as possible down to the date of publication. Those, therefore, who may require to consult the Directory regarding any particular Parish, should also refer to the Appendix, and note the changes therein indicated. Arrangements will be made by whieh such an expedient will be rendered un necessary in future. It is to be hoped that the historical and topographical Intro ductions to the various Parishes, though not necessary for the purposes of a Directory, and though adding somewhat to the cost, will prove to many not its least attractive feature. While the information therein contained has been carefully abridged from the statistical account of Scotland, the various Gazeteers, (fee, an intimate knowledge of nearly every district of the two Counties, has enabled the Publisher to correct a number of the mistakes, and at the same time add to the information contained in those older books of reference.

During the progress of the work, the question has repeatedly been put, as to the intervals at which it is intended to issue the Directory, and the present opportunity is embraced of stating that the frequency of the publication will altogether depend upon the wishes of the public. It is likely that another edition will be published at the end of two years, and the amount of encourage ment then received, will decide as to whether it will, thereafter, be an Annual, a Biennial, or a Triennial publication. It is hoped that the beautiful Map, drawn and engraved for the Directory, by the Messrs W. &, A. K. Johnston, of Edinburgh, will still further increase its usefulness and enhance its value.

Firs is an extensive aud important County on the eastern side of Scotland ; it is in the form of a peninsula, having the waters of the Firth of Forth on the south, the German Ocean on the east, and on the north the Tay, which separates it from Forfarshire ; on the west it is bounded in a very irregular manner by Kinross-shire, Clackmannanshire, and parts of Perthshire. Its greatest length from west to east is about 43 miles, and its greatest breadth 21 miles. Its total area is esti mated by various writers, at from about 298,000, to 322,000 acres, of which fully three-fourths are under cultivation. The County lies between 56° 3' and 56° 25', north latitude. At an early period the district of Fife, including Kinross-shire, Clackmannanshire, parts of Perthshire, and perhaps part of Stirlingshire, was designated Ross, a term signifying a peninsula, and seems to have been under one jurisdiction.

Different events conspired to break up this ample territory into, at least, three distinct counties. The small shire of Clackmannan was first separated, and about the year 1426, another portion was cut off, and entitled Kinross, a name importing the head of the peninsula. It has been well remarked, "That such changes have had no effect in retarding the prosperity of the County, although a better division might easily have been made." From its compact nature and partial independence of support from without, it was the custom to designate it the "Kingdom of Fife," a popular phrase still retained. The ancient history of Fife, as of the other portions of Scotland, is wrapped in obscurity, and almost all we learn from Tacitus and other Roman authors is, "that the original inhabitants of the district of Ross, of which Fife forms the eastern part, were named the Horestii, a Celtic tribe."

It is said that they had no towns in Fife, but they had numerous hill forts all over the County, and their remains are still to be traced on the hills of Dunearn, Carnock, Craigluscar, and Saline, also, in the Ochils, in the parishes of Strathmiglo and Newburgh. Evidence of the struggles of these early Celts with their Roman invaders, is to be found in the circumstance, that in these forts both British and Roman remains have been dis covered, proving that the strongholds of the Horestii had been captured by the Romans, and afterwards used by them for the purposes of safety and defence. Little is known of the history of the district after the invasions of the Romans, further than that the Picts are next heard of as the inhabitants of Fife, who, towards the close of the 9th century, finally submitted to the King of the Scots ; after which we read of the Danish invasions, from which the district often suffered severely.

The almost insular position of Fife, between the northern and southern divisions of the Kingdom, was of great advantage to the County, by placing it beyond the general sphere of Highland and Border warfare, by which it escaped A FIFESHIRE 2 FIFESHIRE. many of the troubles which long vexed other portions of the country, and was thus en abled, at a much earlier period than other districts, to cultivate the arts of peace. It is known that for some time prior to the 11th century, the County was, in a great measure, either the property or under the potent jurisdiction of a line of Thanes, or Earls, of the name of M'Duff, who, from the middle of the eleventh century to the forfeiture of the family in 1424, were among the most influential of the Scottish Peerage. The chief residences of the Earls of Fife were at Cupar and Falkland, it being on the forfeiture of Murdoch, Duke of Albany, and confiscation of his estates to the Crown, that the Palace of Falkland became the property and a residence of the Scottish Sovereigns.

From various concurring evidences in history, we learn that the Peninsula of Fife was originally almost an entire forest full of swamps, as indeed was nearly all the rest of Scotland. While in the condition of a forest, it was the haunt of wild beasts, and especially boars of a large size, and it is un derstood that such creatures, as well as the larger animals of the chase, were not extirpated until after the reign of James V., who, like his predecessors, made Fife the scene of his hunting expeditions, while residing at the royal residence of Falk land. It is long, however, since Fife was freed from all such characteristics of a rude country. Fife has always occupied a prominent place in the History of Scotland. Though this prominence may be owing, in some degree, to the circumstance that both a Royal residence and the ecclesiastical capital of the Kingdom were in the County, still much is owing to that energy and enterprise which for centuries have charac terized the native inhabitants, who have ever proved themselves equally ready to defend or forward the best interests of their country ; and in all the contests of the people for the maintenance of their civil and religious liberties, we find the "men of Fife" at their posts, and distinguishing themselves either as soldiers in the field or councillors in the cabinet.

At the Reformation, the County was ever foremost in those struggles which ended in the overthrow of Popery, and in the complete ascendancy of Protestant principles. The peninsula of Fife exhibits in its surface a series of vales, stretching from west to east, parallel with the sea on each side, and of greater and less dimensions. These vales, which in some places are not so distinct as in others, are the basins of various small streams, which are either poured into the Firth of Forth or St Andrews Bay. Fife has a bleak hilly appearance when viewed from the Edinburgh side of the Forth ; but no sooner is the summit of the first rising ground reached in penetrating into the interior, than the scene is agreeably changed, and the tourist successively delighted with the view of these consecutive vales, consisting of finely cultivated braes waving downwards to the brooks in their lower parts, and diminishing in acclivity as they approach their eastern termination.

The vales of the Orr and the Leven being passed, the traveller is ushered into the wide and extensive vale of the Eden, or "Howe of Fife ;" through which glides, with noiseless current the stream which gives its name to the central valley of the County. Further north the land is again hilly, though for the most part in a high state of cultivation declining with rather a quick descent to the Firth of Tay. AQRIOULTURE, SOIL, TRADE, MINERALS, &C. In the County are four kinds of soil, differing in quality, and generally occupying distinct tracts of country. Along the banks of the Forth, the soil is for the most part of an excellent quality, being deep rich loam on good clay, and gravel mixed with loamy earth. Northwards from the lines which bound this territory to the base of the hills on the south side of the Howe of Fife, to the western parts of the county, the soil is in general inferior ; being cold, poor, and wet clay, with mossy and stony land.

The Howe of Fife consists of loam, partly deep and moist and partly light and dry, with a proportion of moor and moss, with better land at the lower end of the strath. In the hilly ground from the Howe to the Tay the soil is in DIRECTORY. FIFESHIRE. 3 general good, having much rich loam, clay, and gravel. Of course by the constant operation of improvements, these primitive properties of the soil are in all cases, to a greater or less extent, modified, improved, or altered ; and to such an extent has the practice of draining and trenching been carried on, and of applying manure, lime, guano, and other patent fertilizers to the soil, that during the last fifty years the change in the appearance of the County is almost miraculous. Land that sixty years ago was not considered fit for cultivation, now yields heavy crops, and is rented at sums that formerly would have been considered fabulous for the best land in the district.

In Minerals, the County possesses extensive fields of coal, lime, stone, and iron stone ; and for building and other purposes, the supply of both whinstone and freestone is inexhaustible, extensive quarries of the latter being wrought in the parishes of Cupar, Kemback, St Andrews, &c. , sufficient not only for the wants of the several districts, but for transmission by railway to distant parts. There are also large beds of alluvial clay in almost all the districts of the County, and extensive brick and tile works are in full operation in almost every district. For many years various branches of the linen manufacture have been extensively carried on in Fife, its chief seats being the centre and western parts of the County. The different kinds of goods made will be described in the notices appended to the different parishes.

The manufacture of woollen and cotton goods in the County is very limited, linen forming the great manufacturing staple of Fife. HILLS, RIVERS, AND RAILWAYS. The principal hills in Fife are the West Lomond, 1500 feet high ; the East Lomond, 1471 feet ; Largo Law, 1020 feet, and Kelly Law, 800 feet. There are only two streams entitled to the appellation of Rivers that run through the interior of the County — the Eden and the Leven, both of which are fine fishing streams, containing abundance of trout and some salmon. Within the last 14 years, the Railway system has been extended over almost every district of the County. The Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, with the boats on the Ferries at Burntisland and Tayport, connects the County with the shires of Mid-Lothian, Perth, and Forfar ; the Dunfermline and Stirling connects the County of Fife with Clackmannan and Stirlingshires ; the Fife and Kinross, and the Kinross-shire Railways, connect the County with Kinross-shire at the Ladybank and Cowdenbeath Junctions ; while the St Andrews, Leven, and East of Fife branch lines connect their several districts with the main line — the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee ; and when the East of Fife line is carried on to Anstruther, the whole will form a system of internal communication inferior to few counties in the Kingdom.

SOCIAL AND INTELLECTUAL PROGRESS. During the last forty years no county has made greater social and intellectual progress than has been attained by Fife ; and perhaps nothing gives that progress so much prominence as the magnitude attained by the Newspaper Press connected with the County. Previous to 1822, there was no Newspaper published in Fife, and the practice was to advertise county and other public meetings in an Edinburgh Newspaper, and a few hundreds would probably cover the sum total of every Newspaper that found an entrance into the County. At present, Fife can boast of ten weekly Newspapers and Advertising sheets, besides three with a fortnightly issue, having a total circulation of above 25,000 ; nor is this all, for the circulation of Edinburgh and other Newspapers not connected with the County is at present ten times more than it was when no native broad sheet existed.

All this without taking into account the immense circulation of perio dicals and books of every shape and size, which forty years ago had no existence, exhibits an intellectual progress penetrating to all classes of our society, and exerts an educational influence unequalled in any country or in any age of the world. ABBOTSHALL. FIFESHIRE 4 PARISH OF ABBOTSHALL. The Parish of Abbotshall is situated on the southern boundary of Fifeshire. It is bounded by the Firth of Forth, and by the Parishes of Kinghorn, Auchtertool, Auchterderran, Dysart, and Kirkcaldy. Its greatest length is nearly four miles, and its breadth two and a half. It has been said that the Parish derives its name from an Abbot of Duns ermline, who built a house near the Parish Church, and resided in it. The great majority of the inhabitants live in Linktown, which is a Burgh of Regality under Colonel Ferguson of Raith, and constitutes part of the Parliamentary Burgh of Kirkcaldy, and forms a continuation of the Lang Toun, which goes under the general designation of Kirkcaldy.

The surface of the Parish is low and flat for more than half a mile from the Firth, it then rises in gentle swells for upwards of two miles, and then descends to the northern boundary of the Parish ; the soil is various, but on the whole good. The small streams, the Tiel, and Camilla, and a tributary of the Orr, form the chief drainage of the Parish. Raith Loch, situated in the Raith pleasure grounds, is an artificial and highly picturesque sheet of water, about a mile long, and in some parts nearly a quarter of a mile broad. Raith House is a splendid mansion, with two wings and a fine Ionic Portico. There is a square Tower 400 feet above the level of the sea, on the summit of the hill on which the mansion stands, which commands a fine panoramic view of the district. The house of Bogie is an elegant modern mansion, in the form of a castle.

The chief antiquity in the Parish is the ruin of the Castle of Balwearie, the ancient seat of the family of the famous Sir Michael Scott, who, on account of his great learning, was by the vulgar considered a wizard, and to be in compact with his Satanic Majesty ; the remains, which show the building' to have been a place of great strength, with walls 6^ feet thick,'are situated about two miles from Kirkcaldy, in the fertile strath through which the Tiel winds its zig-zag way to the sea, at the west bridge. The small village of Chapel is also situated in Abbotshall. The Parish shares fully in the trade and manufactures of Kirkcaldy. In the Link town there is a gas work, a pottery, a brick and tile work, some hundreds of hand looms, a sail canvas manufactory, a linen bleachfield, dye works, spinning mills, and a number of corn mills.

The Parish is in the Presbytery of Kirkcaldy and Synod of Fife. Besides the Parish Church there are the Free Churches of AbbotshaU and Invertiel, a United Presbyterian Church, and several Non-Parochial Schools in the Parish. The Parish is traversed by the Edinburgh, Perth and Dundee Railway. „ Postal Arrangements same as Kirkcaldy, which see. AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT MAKERS, See Blacksmiths. ARCHITECTS.
