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 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, and Gallatown, Sinclairtown and Dunnikier to the north. The town houses the historic Ravenscraig Castle appointed by James II in 1460; much of the previous properties of the Nairn's Linoleum Factories; and also, the Manse in which both O. Douglas and John Buchan matured. It looks out over the ignored Pathhead Sands, and also industry today is centred on Hutchison's Flour Mill and the Forbo-Nairn Plant. The historic centre of Pathhead is a trio of roads running parallel with the shore: Nether Street, Mid Street and what used to be Back Street, currently Commercial Street. Water was provided from wells at either end of Mid Street and also vivid commerce was centred on the Pathhead and also Sinclairtown Reform Co-operative Society of contemporary Branning Court, which was developed in 1914.
