The Links Sands
(signed) J.B. Mr. Gibson, the Town Clerk writes the following.
"Kirkcaldy sands" and Linkburn Sands are spoken of in the same manner as "Pathhead
Sands" or "The Sands" or Kirkcaldy Sands, and the "Links Sands" are the common
expression". See Sheet 4. |
|
| OS1/13/108/3 |

The signatory J.B. is probably John Bayly Captain Royal Engineers who supervised much of the survey in this area.
Linkburn Sands probably should probably read Linktown Sands. |

The designation of this church cannot be written as the case stands, as stated in the descriptive remarks.
The Church was erected in the year 1837 as a Quoad Sacra Parish and continued as such to the year 1843 & called by many St. Catherines church but the Free Church Synod has adopted Invertiel Free Church.
The authorities given are all in favor of Invertiel Free Church but from the elasticity of the case it is left open for the officers decision. |

[Quotation]
" It may be proper to mention, while speaking of the town of Kirkcaldy, that it comprehends much more than the royal burgh, though this be all of of it that lies within the parish. When it is viewed as a considerable sea-port, and an important manufacturing town, it must be regarded as comprehending Linktown (see sheet 6) in the parish of Abbotshall, West Bridge (Bridgetown) in the parish of Kinghorn, and all this is included within the Parliamentary Burgh."
