The Kirkforthar Ditches Michael T Tracy

The Kirkforthar ditches are located on the Kirkforthar estate in Markinch Parish, Fife, Scotland. These ditches basically begin at Star Moss, merge with a watercourse from Gateside and end around New Inn where there is a further merge with the Pittilock Burn. Additionally, there are auxiliary ditches that feed into them. Dug by hand by estate workers, these ditches can still be seen today. Their origins as to when exactly they were built remain unknown to this day.
