The small village of Luthrie, is located in an area of rolling countryside just north of the A92, 3 miles (N. W. by. N.) from Cupar and within a mile of Brunton. Farming is still at the heart of the village along with the village hall which provides a thriving centre of activity for the surrounding area.
Carphin House, built in the 1700's and owned at one time by the Carnegie family lies to the west of the village and a walk to the right of the house in spring time rewards the walker with woods carpeted with bluebells.
The village and Carphin both nestle below Norman's Law. The Ochils range extends eastwards far into Fife and Norman's Law is the final summit of any consequence. The Norman's Law hill race is held annually by Fife AC and begins at Luthrie.
A little history... In 1846 Luthrie was not only a farming community but also a place where many were employed in hand loom weaving for the manufacturers of Cupar and Newburgh. The articles woven were chiefly Osnaburghs, brown and white sheetings, and dowlas, a coarse cloth similar to sheeting.
There were likewise in the village a brewery, a bake house, and mills for meal and barley. Several persons, also, were occupied in the various handicraft trades requisite for the supply of Creich Parish, and a small inn.
