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 formed around the vast coalfields of the region and became a Police Burgh in 1890. According to population statistics from 2008, Cowdenbeath has a fixed population of around 14081. Within this number, 48.5 percent are male and 51.5 per cent are female, which is consistent with the proportional split by gender in both the Fife and Scottish populations. Before 1850, Cowdenbeath was simply a group of farms divided into four districts named after local farms. Local residents of these focal points of progression, which were merging into a single town, convened to pick a name for the emerging town. The eventual decision was narrowed down to either White Threshes or Cowdenbeath. The arrival of the Oakley Iron Company around 1850 was to have a long-term effect upon Cowdenbeath, making the name tantamount with coal-mining for almost 100 years. Shafts were sunk in the vicinity 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 landscape, which blends into the Lochore Meadows Country Park, ‘The Meadies’. This formerly industrial and mining landscape, which was the home of many pit-heads such as the Mary Pit, whose winding gear structure looms over the park as a memorial to its significant mining history, is at present a really appealing area which provides leisure and recreational outdoor facilities.
