Messrs Grace & Yoole Town Clerks Rae Ireland Argyle Brewery Richard Robertson Argyle Toll Bar Plan of St Andrews 1843 |
012 | This name is applied to a part of St Andrews, beyond the city wall on the west. Its present name is no doubt a corruption of North, or Norgyle by which name it is known in old documents. The houses in general are mean, occupied chiefly by hand-loom weavers; but since it has been under the jurisdiction of the Magistrates of the City, marked improvements have taken place. Gardens are attached to each house; and the houses generally are the property of the occupiers. In this part of St Andrews is a large Brewery, the property of Mr Rae Ireland. |

Ordnance Survey - Fife and Kinross counties
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the counties of Fife in the east of Scotland and Kinross in central Scotland. The boundaries of these counties were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
