Pathhead
Pathhead is an area of Kirkcaldy, in Fife, Scotland. Pathhead was an independent village before it was incorporated right into the Royal burgh of Kirkcaldy. In Jan Blaeu's map of Scotland from the 17th century recommendation is made to the town of Peth-heed, present day Pathhead. With the Firth of Forth to the south, Kirkcaldy to the 'west', Dysart to the eastern, as well as Gallatown, Sinclairtown and also Dunnikier to the north. The town houses the historical Ravenscraig Castle commissioned by James II in 1460; much of the former premises of the Nairn's Linoleum Factories; as well as, the Manse in which both O. Douglas as well as John Buchan matured. It keeps an eye out over the neglected Pathhead Sands, as well as sector today is centred on Hutchison's Flour Mill and also the Forbo-Nairn Plant. The historic centre of Pathhead is a trio of streets running parallel with the shore: Nether Street, Mid Street and also what used to be Back Street, now Commercial Street. Water was provided from wells at either end of Mid Street and lively business was centred on the Pathhead and also Sinclairtown Reform Co-operative Society of contemporary Branning Court, which was established in 1914.
