history
Milnathort developed as the market town of the nearby Burleigh Castle . Between 1780 and 1828 Milnathort was the location of the Hattonburn whiskey distillery . In the early 19th century, the location at the intersection of two streets helped the village develop. In 2006, heavy rains caused the Back Burn , which flows through Milnathort, to overflow, resulting in the evacuation of part of the population.
