Pathhead
Pathhead is a location of Kirkcaldy, in Fife, Scotland. Pathhead was an independent town before it was included into the Royal burgh of Kirkcaldy. In Jan Blaeu's map of Scotland from the 17th century reference 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, and also Gallatown, Sinclairtown and also Dunnikier to the north. The town houses the historic Ravenscraig Castle commissioned by James II in 1460; a lot of the previous facilities of the Nairn's Linoleum Factories; as well as, the Manse in which both O. Douglas and John Buchan matured. It looks out over the neglected Pathhead Sands, and industry today is centred on Hutchison's Flour Mill and the Forbo-Nairn Plant. The historical centre of Pathhead is a triad of streets running parallel with the shore: Nether Street, Mid Street and what made use of to be Back Street, now Commercial Street. Water was provided from wells at either end of Mid Road as well as vibrant business was centred on the Pathhead and Sinclairtown Reform Co-operative Society of present-day Branning Court, which was established in 1914.
