Background

History

Originally Pettymuir began as an agricultural hamlet in the 17th century although there has been evidence discovered of prehistory settlements from the Bronze Age. During the late 18th and early 19th centuries Pettymuir underwent a spike in population as the hamlet expanded to house hand weavers, with linen becoming a growing industry in West Fife during this period. The advent of the industrial age and the invention of the power loom then sent the Pattiesmuir population, from a peak of 190 in 1857, into decline. At its peak the hamlet had a blacksmiths, a college and three public wells. The hamlet was assigned conservation status in 1974.
