PARISH OF MARKINCH.
MARKINCH, which is in the Kirkcaldy district of the County, is bounded by the parish of Kennoway on the east, by Wemyss on the south, by Dysart, Kinglassie, and Leslie, on the west, and by Falkland and Kettle on the north. A small section, containing the village of Innerleven, or Dubbieside, at the mouth of the Leven, is cut off from the rest of the Parish by that of Wemyss. This portion is about one and a quarter mile distant from the nearest point of the main body of the Parish. Its length from north to south is about six miles, and its greatest breadth four miles. It contains the villages of Markinch, Milton, Coaltown, Balcurvie, Windy-gates, Thornton, Woodside, Balbirnie Bridge, and Kirkforthar Feus. The soil for the most part is good, and the land fertile. The general aspect is varied and picturesque. From the Lomond Hills, as a background on the north, it slopes gently towards the south and east. It is intersected by four valleys, the chief of which are the Ore and the Leven, which unite towards the eastern extremity. The valleys are separated by corresponding ridges of low hills, each chain rising gradually above the other, in the direction of the summit level ; extensive plantations at the same time heightening the natural beauty of the landscape. The proportion of wood is considerable ; and, being chiefly of the ornamental kind, and in the vicinity of gentlemen's seats and villas, is so disposed as to produce the most favourable effect. The rocks are of the coal formation, with outbursts of trap, and accumulations of diluvium. Coal has been long extensively worked, both at Balgonie and Balbirnie ; but that valuable mineral, at the latter place, is becoming gradually exhausted. The water power, on the Ore and Leven, has greatly tended to develope all kinds of public works in the Parish ; and it is difficult to say whether its agricultural, its manufacturing, or its mineral interests are the most important. Among the leading public works may be mentioned - the paper mills at Balbirnie Bridge, Rothes, and Auchmuty ; the flax and tow spinning mills at Milton, Haugh Mill, Thornton, and Sythrum ; the bleachfields at Rothes, Balgonie, Lochtyside, and Kirkforthar Feuds ; a woollen manufactory at Balbirnie Bridge ; and a power-loom linnen factory at Milton. There are also a number of corn, flour, and saw mills, in the Parish, and a large distillery and malting establishment at Cameron Bridge ; and, if we take into account the weaving of linens, which is carried on to some extent in nearly all the different villages, the whole presents an aggregate amount of industrial and commercial enterprise, second to that of no parish in the County. Nor must the agricultural interest be overlooked, which, for extent and enterprise, is surpassed by only a few parishes in the County.
The Parish is traversed from south to north, by the E. P. & D. Railway, westward by the Leslie and Markinch Railway, and eastward by the East of Fife Railway, which have stations at Markinch, Cameron Bridge, and Thornton. The Parish is also traversed in all directions by turnpike and statute labour roads..
One of the principal objects of antiquarian interest in the Parish is Balgonie Castle, situated a little to the west of the village of Milton, on the banks of the Leven, about 36 feet above the level of the stream. The buildings are obviously of different ages, but the castle was lately in repair, and formed one of the residences of the Earls of Leven within the last 75 years. The great tower is the most ancient portion, and was probably built in the 14th or 15th century. It is 80 feet high, with battlements at the top, and is 45 feet in length by 36 in breadth over the walls. The walls of the two lower stories, which are arched with stone, are eight feet thick. The remaining buildings form an extensive quadrangle, in-closing a court. Balfour House, the residence of Admiral C. R. D., Bethune (C. B.), is a short distance to the east of Balgonie Castle, and south-east of the village of Milton. It is an old building surrounded by fine plantations and inclosures. The picture gallery contains an original portrait of the celebrated Cardinal Beaton, and another of Mary Beaton, one of the Queen's four Marys. At Kirkforthar, on the northern boundary, are the ruins of a Chapel, which once existed, hut was suppressed previous to the Reformation. The remains are in the middle of an old burying-ground, which is inclosed by a wall, and where many of the people connected with the locality still bury their dead. Of antiquities supposed to be of a still more early date, may be mentioned an ancient cross, which stands on a rising ground to the north of Markinch village, and near the garden entrance to Balbirnie. It is a broad slab, about seven feet high, but without any carving so far as can now be discerned. Immediately east of this cross, and on the opposite side of the public highway, is a small hill of an oblong shape about 200 yards in length, called Markinch Hill. It is remarkable from the circumstance that its northern declivity presents six regular Terraces at different heights, about 20 feet broad, and extending the whole length of the hill. The origin of, and the object for which these terraces were formed, is disputed by antiquarians, but it is evident that they are artificial. Formerly these terraces were seen on entering Markinch from the north, but the hill was planted with wood by the late General Balfour, which, in a great measure, conceals them from public view.
The finest Mansion in the Parish is Balbirnie House, the residence of John Balfour, Esq.. It is situated a little to the north-west, of Markinch, in a sheltered valley amidst beautiful and extensive grounds, richly wooded.
The village of Markinch stands on the road leading from Leven to Kinross, and a little to the eastward of that from Kirkcaldy to Cupar. It is about eleven miles south south-west of the latter, seven north from Kirkcaldy, and about half a mile north from the banks of the Leven. The junction of the Leslie and Markinch, with the E. P. & D. Railway, is at the south end of the village. The site of the original village is the summit and slope of a gentle eminence, which, in ancient times, was surrounded by water, and, more recently, by a deep morass. The etymology of the word, "Markinch," leads us to infer that, when the original Church was built, the whole country beyond the zone of water was a dense forest, Mario signifying in- the Celtic language, forest, and Inch, island, that is, the forest island. The morass was long ago drained, and the ground in many places covered with buildings; but peat of many feet in thickness is found on digging through the surface soil. The working population of the village are chiefly employed at the public works on the Leven. The village of Milton, about a mile and a half from Markinch, is built on both sides of the road leading to Leven. The inhabitants are chiefly employed at the spinning mill and power-loom factory in the village. Balcurvie and Windygates are small villages, about two miles from Leven. A number of the inhabitants are feuars, and others are employed at the distillery and spinning mill, at Cameron Bridge and Haugh Mill. Coaltown, about half-way between Markinch and Thornton, is chiefly inhabited by miners employed at the Balgonie colliery. Thornton is a large village on the south-western border, on the turnpike road from Cupar to Kirkcaldy, and about four miles from the latter town. The junction of the E. P. & D. Railway with its Dunfermline branch, and the Leven and East of Fife Railway, is a short distance east of the village. Dubbieside, or Innerleven, is an old village, which we have already described as in the detached section of the Parish; and is, generally, more connected with Scoonie than with Markinch. Woodside and Kirkforthar Feus are small villages on the Cupar and Kirkcaldy turnpike road; the former about a mile south-west of Markinch, and the latter near the northern boundary.
The Parish Church, which is at Markinch, was enlarged and partly rebuilt in 1806. It contains upwards of 1000 sittings. Its Tower is evidently of great antiquity, but the date of its erection is unknown. The Spire was added to the tower about forty years ago. There are also Chapels of Ease, in connection with the Established Church, at Thornton and Milton. There are a U. P. Church and a Free Church in the village of Markinch, and a U. P. Church at Innerleven. The Parish is well supplied with good Schools. In Markinch there are the Parish School, a Free Church School, and a Female Industrial School, under the patronage of Lady Georgina Balfour, of Balbirnie. There are Subscription Schools at Milton, Coaltown, Balcurvie, Thornton, and Kirkforthar Feus, and a Colliery School, in connection with the Balbirnie collieries, at Eglinton Square.
