The site was formerly part of the lands of Durie and was bought by Charles Augustus Carlow, manager of the Fife Coal Company in the late nineteenth century, from the Christies of Durie. Carlow built Linnwood Hall on the site, but the inspiration for the name is not known. It may have been transferred from Linwood RNF. Linnwood Hall was initially the home of the Carlows, then it became a convalescent home for miners’ wives, then a List D school, and finally was converted into flats.[293] It has given rise to the local street-name Linnwood Drive.
