"Leslie
parish, containing the burgh of barony of Leslie and the village
of Prinlaws, lies at the base of the Lomond Hills, between them
and the River Leven. It is bounded by Markinch, Falkland and Kinross-shire
and measures about 4 miles by 3 miles. Coal and limestone occur,
but are not worked. Prinlaws, immediately to the west of Leslie
burgh, contains extensive flax spinning, power-loom weaving and
bleaching establishments, partly driven by water and partly by
steam power. These are the most extensive works of their kind
in the county. The burgh of Leslie has records dating back 300
years, but they do not contain anything remarkable. The town has
doubled in size in the last 50 years - due to the prosperity of
its manufactures of linens and woollens, flax spinning, paper
making, yarn bleaching, etc. The parish church was built in 1820;
there are also 2 UP Churches and a Free Church. " edited
from Westwood's Directory for the counties of Fife & Kinross
published 1862.
