KETTLE AND PITLESSIE
JlaLETTLE is a manufacturing village, in the parish
of its name, 17 miles s. of Dundee, and four from
Falkland, standing about a quarter of a mile off the
main road from Fife to Cupar, nearly six miles from
the latter town. It is inhabited chiefly by weavers,
and there are several agents for manufacturers. The
name of Kettle is of very obscure etymology; it was
anciently called Katul, and in common phraseology it
is invariably entitled ' the Kettle.' At one period the
parish was denominated King's Kettle, from being
the property of the crown. This district forms a laige
portion of that rich and beautiful territory on the north
side of the Howe of Fife ; it is exceedin'jly fertile
throughout, with a slii^it exct ption. The river Eden
bounds the parish on nearly the whole of its noithern
side, and in this quarter the land is still moorish. The
church, which is a handsome building, with a square
tower, was erected in 1832. Besides the Estahiished
Church, there is one for the Relief Synod.

PiTLESSiE is a small village in the parl-.li of Cult.«,
two miles fiom Kettle, situate on the road between
Kirkcaldy and Cupar, two miles from the latter town.
The occupation of the inhabitants i.s of the same na-
ture as those of Kettle. The parish of Cults abounds
in coal and freestone, and it is generally well culti-
vated and enclosed. The parish is chiefly in the Howe
of Fife, on the south trank of the Eden, having Ceres
on the east, Kettle on the west, and Monimail on
Ihe north. The principal ornaments of this dis-
trict are the mansion house and beautifully disposed
pleasure grounds and planiaiioiis of Ciawford Prioiy,
which lieon the west side of the mad to Cupar. Wilkie,
the justly celebrated painter, i'> a native of the parish,
his father having been minister of Cults. The ancient
name of the parish was GiiUkes, which signifies a
nook or corner, it being di>.iointed from the large
stiath, which runs fiom east to west along the bank
of the Eden.
