Kinghorn Photos
"Kinghorn
parish extends along the coast of the Firth of Forth for 4 miles.
It is bounded by Burntisland, Aberdour, Abbotshall and Auchtertool.
It contains the Royal Burgh of Kinghorn, the village of Invertiel
(now a suburb of Kirkcaldy), the harbour of Pettycur and the island
of Inchkeith. To the north-west of the town is Kinghorn Loch,
which extends to about 20 acres. It is well stocked with pike.
A combination Poor's House for the parishes of Burntisland, Kinghorn,
Kirkcaldy and Abbotshall, stands on the shore a little to the
east of Kinghorn burgh. There are 2 spinning mills and a bleachfield
at Tyrie at which great numbers of the inhabitants are employed.
There is also a brewery, a large corn & flour mill and an
extensive glue manufactory in the town. There is an apology for
a harbour which is of little use except for fishing boats; however
the harbour at Pettycur affords good accommodation for vessels
and was the regular ferry station from Fife to Newhaven and Leith
before the opening of the E P& D Railway and the transference
of the ferry station to Burntisland. In addition to the parish
church, there is a Free Church and a UP Church in Kinghorn, and
a chapel of ease at Invertiel" edited from Westwood's Directory
for the counties of Fife & Kinross published 1862.
