Cowdenbeath is a town and burgh in west Fife, Scotland. It is located 5 miles north-east of Dunfermline and 18 miles north of the capital, Edinburgh. The town formed around the extensive coalfields of the area and became a Police Burgh in 1890. According to population figures from 2008, Cowdenbeath has a permanent 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. Before 1850, Cowdenbeath was just a group of farms divided into four districts named after regional farms. Local inhabitants of these focal points of development, which were merging into a single town, got together to choose on a name for the emerging town. The ultimate choice was limited to either White Threshes or Cowdenbeath. The arrival of the Oakley Iron Company around 1850 was to have a long-lasting impact upon Cowdenbeath, making the name synonymous with coal-mining for almost 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 boundary of Cowdenbeath is a rural landscape, which merges into the Lochore Meadows Country Park, ‘The Meadies’. This formerly industrial and mining landscape, which was home to numerous pit-heads such as the Mary Pit, whose winding gear structure dominates the park as a memorial to its notable mining history, is at present an extremely beautiful area which offers leisure and recreational outdoor amenities.
