Kingskettle

An attractive village in Fife locally known as Kettle which developed in an area which once belonged to the Crown and where an unrecorded battle or Cathel took place, this is how the name Kingskettle came about. The village developed in the 19th century with the opening of the turnpike road and with the development of mining and weaving.

Coaltown of Burnturk

There are many Fife villages known as 'Coaltown' of this or that. They were originally mining villages, but none of the pits or mines now remain active.
