Old Photograph Cupar Road Auchtermuchty Fife Scotland
Old photograph of a vintage car, children, and houses on Cupar Road in Auchtermuchty, Fife, Scotland. Until 1975 Auchtermuchty was a royal burgh, established under charter of King James V in 1517. There is evidence of human habitation in the area dating back over 2,000 years, and the Romans are known to have established a camp in the south east corner of the town. In the past, the linen industry was a major source of work in the town, but in the early 18th century the firm of John White was established, bringing the town its first foundry, there were two eventually. There was even a whisky distillery in operation from 1829 to 1929, when Prohibition in the U.S.A. led to its closure.
