 General Information
Auchtermuchty is on the north side of the Howe of Fife, at the crossing point where the Calsay Burn, which runs through Auchtermuchty, crosses the main route from Stirling to St Andrews.
The name Auchtermuchty is a corruption of the Gaelic words, Achad na Muic which means upland slope of the wild pig, and the flag of Auchtermuchty has a boar on it.
Auchtermuchty Heritors - all those who had fireplaces in their houses - objected, being keen on local government, and formed the Burgher Church, which was built on the Burnside next to what is now the Bank of Scotland.
