PARISH OF DYSART.

IT is agreed by learned men that the name of this Parish is derived from the Celtic word, Dys ard, which signifies the height of God, and it is therefore probable that from an early period a place of worship existed here, from which the name originated. The Parish is bounded on the south by the Firth of Forth, on the east by the parishes of Wemyss and Markinch, on the north by Kinglassie, and on the west by Kinglassie, Auchterderran, and Kirkcaldy. The sea coast, which is bold and rocky, extends upwards of two miles and the surface of the Parish continues afterwards to ascend for about a mile towards the north.

The population of the Parish, according to the census of 1861, is 8794 ; males, 4015, females, 4779. The town of Dysart is a Royal Burgh, and joins with Kirkcaldy, Kinghorn, and Burntisland, in sending a Member to Parliament. It was originally a Burgh of Barony holding of the St Clairs of Roslyn, afterwards Earls of Orkney, and subsequently of the Lords Sinclair. It was erected into a Royal Burgh. at the beginning of the sixteenth century, but the early charters have been lost. By the recent Municipal Act, it is governed by nine councillors, including a provost, two bailies, and a treasurer. The town's revenue is from £500 to £600 yearly, but when the shipping of coal is good of which there are large means for an export trade the income is much higher. Dysart has an excellent wet dock with eighteen feet of water, and is sufficient to contain about twenty vessels of different burden The population of the Burgh. is 1756.

In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, Dysart had a very large export trade in salt, coal, and fish, while malting and brewing were also carried on to a great extent. After the Union its trade decayed and its shipping rapidly disappeared. At present there are only two vessels belonging to the harbour.

Besides the Burgh of Dysart, there are some populous villages in the Parish. Pathhead, situated at the south western extremity of the Parish, at the head of a steep descent called the Path, is a village of considerable antiquity, and is sometimes called Dunnikier, from the estate on which it is built. It used to be famous for the manufacture of nails, but this trade as, regards Pathhead is now entirely at an end. Immediately adjoining, and to the north east is St Clairtown built on the property of the Earl of Rosslyn. Still further to the north-east are Easter and Wester Gallatown. There is also a mining village in the Parish, a little to the north of Dysart, called Boreland. West of Dysart are the lands of Ravenscraig, belonging to the Earl of Rosslyn. Here on a lofty rock which overhangs the seashore, are the ruins of Ravenscraig Castle. It used to be the residence of the Lords St Clair, and was inhabited when Sibbald wrote ; but it has for many years been in ruins. Dysart House, the residence of the Earl of Rosslyn, is situated above the sea shore to the west of the Burgh. It is a plain, but neat and commodious mansion, and commands an extensive and very beautiful view of the Firth, and of the scenery to the east.

It is worthy of remark that General St Clair, of Dysart House, was QuarterMaster General of the British forces in Flanders, in 1745 and in 1746. He was Commander in chief of a considerable body of forces that landed on the French coast at the bay of Quiberon, in October, 1746. David Hume, the celebrated historian and philosopher, was Secretary to General St Clair in this expedition, and again attended him in the same capacity, on his proceeding subsequently as Ambassador to the courts of Vienna and Turin. The General was repeatedly Member of Parliament for the Kirkcaldy district of Burghs.

Of late much has been done to improve the Burgh of Dysart, and some hundreds of pounds have been laid out by the Town Council in laying the streets with large square stones. This improvement was much needed, and is of considerable advantage to the inhabitants. Water is exceedingly scarce in Dysart, and the manner in which so large a community has been served with this precious necessary, has long been a disgrace to its savans. The Church of Dysart was erected in 1802, and is a plain, commodious building, capable of containing 1800 persons. It is a collegiate charge, a second minister having been established in 1620. The present, incumbents are the Rev. William Muir and the Rev. James Simpson. Besides the, Parish Church, there are the Quoad Sacra Church of Pathhead, three Free Churches, one Free Church Mission House, one U. P. Church, and a Baptist Church, all in the Parish. Although not mentioned in Spottiswoode's list of religious houses, there is said to have been a Priory of black friars in Dysart, the Chapel of which was dedicated to St Dennis ; part of the old wall of this Chapel, which still retains its name, yet remains, but it has for a long period been used as a smithy. Near the Chapel of St Dennis is the old Church of Dysart, which bears the marks of having been a handsome piece of architecture in its time. On one of its windows is the date, 1570, but the Steeple and Porch bear marks of a far greater antiquity. There are a number of excellent Schools in the Parish, the principal of which are, the Burgh School, Subscription School, and Female Industrial School, all situated in Dysart. Gallatown has a handsome Subscription or Government School, and a Female Industrial School, established and supported by the unobtrusive exertions of the Rev. William Muir. There is also a Subscription School in St Clairtown and one in Pathhead, besides the one endowed by the late Mr Philp, of Edenshead, for the education of 170 children, who, as at Kirkcaldy, receive a yearly allowance for clothing. There is also a School at the mining village of Boreland, supported by the colliery. In the Burgh of Dysart there is only one medical practitioner, who for some years past has acted as Parish Assessor and Valuator, and Burgh Chamberlain.

Coals have from a very early period been wrought in this Parish, and there are still some good mines at work on the estate of the Earl of Rosslyn. There are five beds of iron stone lying below the coal, which are also worked where they come near the surface. The iron stone is generally shipped for Carron works; a ton is said to yield 12 cwt. of iron. There are also good limestone and freestone quarries in the Parish. The principal manufacture in the district is that of checks and ticks. There is a large power loom factory in Dysart, however, which manufactures largely in damasks, sheetings, &c., &c., upwards of 450 hands being employed within its walls. A mill to the east of the town for spinning flax employs from 40 to 60 persons ; there is also a pottery for making stoneware, and a patent slip dock for repairing vessels. We close this notice with a paragraph written by the correspondent of the Dundee Advertiser, and which we take from the columns of that well conducted, excellent Newspaper. " Dysart, with the exception of St Andrews, possesses more historic interest and olden beauty than any other place all around the coast of Fife. When the stranger first arrives in Dysart he looks on the old burgh as a much decayed, but ancient and very pleasant town. In a short time he finds himself on the walk along the top of the Piper's Braes. Here he is thrown into a sort of trance, the beauty of the scene demands his admiration. He looks across the broad Firth, and sees it studded with vessels to the opposite shore, appearing in all the beauty or 'enchantment' which distance gives to a view, but not too great to hide what is prominent. The whole seems to be enjoying a sweet repose. The line of coast is terminated by low Craigleith and the frowning Bass; then follows a long line of sea blending with the horizon, or dotted by the craggy Isle of May. Elie Ness looks timidly into the sea. Largo bay, as if making an attack upon the land, cannot be seen ; but the smiling village of West Wemyss, reposing in sunshine, meets in happy beauty his admiring gaze ; and from here to the place which the stranger traverses are braes unusually picturesque. Midway his eye is sure to be arrested by the rude grandeur of the red rocks, but he looks down on the green, which, descending precipitately, comes to a level before it reaches the rocks which have preserved it from the invasion of the sea preserved what remains for the ancient green had, without doubt, extended over rocks now bare and washed by every tide. Here children may be seen when the sea is in a state of commotion, 'running tide,' as they call the sport, chasing the retiring, or flying before, the advancing wave, setting up a cry of mischievous exultation when some unfortunate wight who has been too adventurous, or who has miscalculated its speed, is overtaken and drenched by the angry surge. These braes, reduced in size by the encroachment of the sea, have been lately curtailed by the erection of a gas work, and are still further narrowed by its extension. The only advantage arising from this innovation is, making some good bathing ground more private. But these braes are of civic importance. Many a stirring scene has been enacted there. There in ancient times the butts were erected, and the burgesses marshalled to practise archery perhaps our rifle corps may yet practise there. They have rung with the shout that applauded the skilful, or the derisive laugh which followed the erring bolt of the awkward archer. On these braes the soldiers of Cromwell have been exercised. Our Presbyterian forefathers, who liked neither his company nor his mongrel creed, looked with ill suppressed scorn on the conquerors of Leslie. Latterly these braes were given as a perquisite to the Town's Piper. This was before we had the fine bell, which has long announced the morning and evening hour. These were the days when the piper played his pipes twice a day through the streets of our burgh. Since the bell superseded the pipes, the braes have been let for pasture ; but of that source of revenue, we may say what the town piper of Dysart said of his annual gratuity from the inhabitants, 'It increased and increased till it cam' t' naething.' "

There are two Post Offices in the Parish, viz. : Dysart and Pathhead, Mrs Dick, Post Mistress, Dysart, and David Dryburgh, Post Master, Pathhead. Letters arrive at both Offices from Kirkcaldy, about 9 A.M. and 5.30 P.M., and are despatched about 2.30 P.M. and 9.30 P.M. For the convenience of those residing in Gallowtown, a pillar letter box has been erected, from which letters are taken previous to the despatches from Pathhead. The postal arrangements for the north east border of the Parish are connected with the Post Office at Thornton, and parties residing in that district are so entered in the Directory.
