Cowdenbeath is a town and burgh in west Fife, Scotland. It lies 5 miles north-east of Dunfermline and 18 miles north of the capital, Edinburgh. The town developed around the substantial coalfields of the area and became a Police Burgh in 1890. Inning accordance with population stats from 2008, Cowdenbeath has a fixed population of around 14081. Among this number, 48.5 per cent are male and 51.5 percent are female, which follows the proportional split by gender in both the Fife and Scottish populations. Until 1850, Cowdenbeath was simply a group of farms divided into four districts named after local farms. Local residents of these focal points of expansion, which were combining into a single town, met to choose a name for the emerging town. The ultimate decision was narrowed down to either White Threshes or Cowdenbeath. The arrival of the Oakley Iron Company around 1850 was to have an enduring effect upon Cowdenbeath, making the name tantamount with coal-mining for nearly 100 years. Shafts were sunk in the area of the old Foulford Washer. It was in the mining for ore that the discoveries of the coal seams were made, and pits were sunk at every corner of the town. Characterising the northern perimeter of Cowdenbeath is a rural scene, which merges into the Lochore Meadows Country Park, ‘The Meadies’. This previously commercial and mining landscape, which was home to numerous pit-heads such as the Mary Pit, whose winding equipment structure looms over the park as a memorial to its significant mining history, is at present a very charming area which provides leisure and recreational outdoor amenities.
