The name is transferred from Carfin LAN. The Baillies of Balmeadowside and Parbroath acquired the lands of Luthrie from George Kinloch c.1680. The Baillies were a branch of the Baillies of Carfin in Lanarkshire, and ‘probably the name was given to the Fifeshire estate to commemorate this connection. The last of the Baillies of Luthrie died in 1814’ (Millar 1895 ii, 331).
