Newburgh, Fife

Newburgh is a royal burgh of Fife, Scotland , having a population of 2,040 (est 2004). Newburgh has grown little since 1901 when the population was counted at 1904 persons.
It is situated on the Firth of Tay, 7 m. N.W. of Ladybank Junction alongside the Edinburgh to Aberdeen railway line (between Perth and Ladybank). Newburgh railway station closed in 1955 (pre-Beeching), and has never reopened in spite of local campaigns for its reinstatement. Fife Scottish (now Stagecoach in Fife) used to have a depot at East Shore Road. But the depot closed in 1991, and nowadays Newburgh is an outstation of Glenrothes depot; three double deckers are parked overnight every night.
For some time, its industries chiefly consisted of the making of linen and floorcloth, malting and quarrying, and there were fisheries, especially of salmon. The harbour was used for the transshipment of the cargoes of Perth-bound vessels of over 200 tons. But most of these industries have now gone. A linoleum factory, owned by Courtaulds, which had been the town's principal employer, closed in May 1980 after a large fire destroyed much of the building. After many years of lying derelict, the factory has since been completely demolished and cleared and its site is now a recreational waterfront. Local services and a few shops provide limited employment, but most residents now commute to larger towns. However, one quarry, for many years owned by Bell Brothers, is still operational, and is now owned by Ennstone Thistle. T Robertson & Sons, of Whinpark Quarry, still run a road contractors' business, although the quarry itself is no longer in operation.
Newburgh was the birthplace in 1823 of Robert Hunter lexicographer and encyclopaedist.
