Kirkcaldy Combination, Fife.
The Kirkcaldy Combination was formed in around 1848 and comprised the 4 parishes of Abbotshall, Burntisland, Kinghorn and Kirkcaldy. The total population of the member parishes in 1881 was 23,434. Abbotshall later left the Combination.
The Kirkcaldy Combination poorhouse was erected in 1849 at a cliffside location to the north of Kinghorn. The site location and layout are shown on the 1911 map below:
The poorhouse originally had two single-storey blocks flanking its entrance at the east. One of these were probably a porter's lodge. The other may have contained a room for the receiving-officer and/or a probationary ward.
The main building had two storeys with a T-shaped layout. The centre part contained the Governor's quarters with male accommodation to one side and female to the other. Each side had three dayrooms and a dormitory on the ground floor, and dormitories on the first floor.
The rear centre wing may have housed the kitchens and dining-hall which in many poorhouses also served as a chapel. A small separate hospital block was later added to the rear of the site. It had two wards, one with 8 beds, the other with 10. After 1930, the poorhouse became the Abden Home Poor Law Institution.
The surviving poorhouse buildings have now been converted for use as housing.
