Lochgelly is the highest town in Fife. It was present as a community in the 14th Century. It may have started life as a watering stop or market trading village. A former coal mining town situated between Perth and Edinburgh, it was designated a Burgh in 1876. The coming of the agriculture revolution found coal during the farming and was mined for fuel. With the industrial revolution in the early 19th century iron ore was also found with the coal. The entrepreneurs were quick to realise the potential and new iron works and mines commenced. It owes its prosperity to the Ironworks and Collieries to which are now long gone.
