Pathhead
Pathhead is a location of Kirkcaldy, in Fife, Scotland. Pathhead was an independent village before it was incorporated 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, existing day Pathhead. With the Firth of Forth to the south, Kirkcaldy to the 'west', Dysart to the east, and also Gallatown, Sinclairtown and Dunnikier to the north. The town houses the historic Ravenscraig Castle commissioned by James II in 1460; a lot of the former facilities of the Nairn's Linoleum Factories; and, the Manse in which both O. Douglas and John Buchan matured. It keeps an eye out over the ignored Pathhead Sands, and sector today is centred on Hutchison's Flour Mill and the Forbo-Nairn Plant. The historical centre of Pathhead is a triad of roads running parallel with the coastline: Nether Street, Mid Street and also what used to be Back Street, now Commercial Street. Water was supplied from wells at either end of Mid Road and vibrant business was centred on the Pathhead and Sinclairtown Reform Co-operative Society of contemporary Branning Court, which was established in 1914.
