Pitcoudie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pitcoudie is a housing area in North Glenrothes in the Kingdom of Fife, Scotland - comprising 396 terraced and semi-detached houses. Traditionally, a pitcoudie was a donkey, mule, or work-horse which ferried coal and slag from the coalmines - spending most of its life underground. The area of Pitcoudie today exists on what was once an extensive range of mining-shafts and pits.
