BRUNTON, a village, in the parish of Creich, district
of Cupar, county of Fife; containing 90 inhabitants.
This village, which is pleasantly situated, is inhabited
chiefly by persons employed in agriculture, and in
hand-loom weaving for the linen manufacturers of Cupar,
under the inspection of a resident agent who furnishes
the materials. Previously to the introduction of machinery,
several of the females were employed in spinning
yarn; but at present there is only one spinning-wheel in
operation.
