[situation] On the S. [South] side of the County near to the Firth of Forth
"The whole of Abbotshall with the exception of three farms Easter & Wester Tough belonging to Kinghorn and Wester Bogie belonging to Dysart was disjoined from the Parish of Kirkcaldy in the year 1650.
The newly erected parish was called Abbotshall a name obviously derived from the circumstance of one of the Abbots of Dunfermline having built a house here in which he accordingly resided.
The Parish being a good deal intersected by other parishes is of an angular shape but it's greatest length from the coast to the North West is not less than 4 miles and it's breadth which varies much at different points may average 2. It is bounded on the North east by Kirkcaldy on the S.E [South East] by the Firth of Forth on the SW [South West] by the parish of Kinghorn and on the north west by that of Auchterderran the parish of Auchtertool touches it on the west.
The principle trade of the Parish is the weaving of Coarse linen fabrics there is an extensive pottery in the Links or Linktown Gas Works &c. and [Continued on Page 4] |

A chapel or other place of religious [obscured] is supposed to have been erected here in olden times from which probably the village derives its name. History seems Silent on the matter but there is now [obscured] an intelligent labouring man named John Downy who states that when preparing and making the garden wall see A on trace he and others found 7 Urns some of which Contained Human bones which would lead to the conclusion that a place of Sepulture existed here in former times he farther states that old men years ago pointed out to him the place as marked on trace the probable Site of the Chapel. |
