PATHHEAD, a large and populous village in the parish of Dysart, in Fife-shire, Scotland. It is contiguous to the town of Kirkcaldy, being merely separated from it by a steep ascent called the Path. The village consists of three streets of plain substantial houses, inhabited by a most industrious class, who are chiefly engaged in the weaving and manufacturing of linen goods, especially of checks and ticks. There are two places of worship, one belonging to the Established Church, the other to the body of Antiburghers. An elegant and commodious school was erected a few years ago, for the free education of 150 children, by the trustees of the late Robert Philp, Esq. of Kirkcaldy, who left a large sum of money for that purpose. The population in 1831 amounted to 3330.
