In the Nineteenth Century woollen and spinning mills were established to the south of the village centre on the North Queich, a development that resulted in the settlement extending southwards. Situated at a crossroads, the form of the settlement is closely linked to the development of turnpike roads in the early 19th century. Professor David Hepburn was born in Milnathort in 1859 and attended Brand’s School in the town. He was a Scottish physician and anatomist. He served as President of the Anatomical Society from 1916 to 1918, His final years in Edinburgh were spent at 11 Glenorchy Terrace in the south side of the city. He died on 9 March 1931. The poet Walter Chalmers Smith was Free Church minister here from 1853 to 1858 and poet James Logie Robertson was born here in 1846.
