"The church, which was a vicarage belonging to the Priory of St Andrew's,
originally stood at Lathrisk, besides which there were two chapels in the Parish
one at Chapel, and the other at Clatto. In 1636, the chapels having
been suppressed after the reformation, the hurch was removed to the village
of Kettle, as more in the centre of the parish than where is had hitherto
stood"
Leightons Hist: [History] of Fife Page 238

"The name of the parish was originally Lathrisk, or as it is sometimes spelt in old Charters
Lorresk, from the circumstance of the parish church being formerly situated on the lands of that
name at the west end of the parish"

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.
