Macedonia is a precinct in Glenrothes, Fife, Scotland. Macedonia lies just south of the River Leven and one mile west of the Glenrothes town centre. According to the 2011 census the data zones of Macedonia West, Macedonia East and Macedonia North have a combined population of 2,021.[1] Its street names are derived from towns, villages and burghs in southern Scotland (e.g., Roxburgh, Ancrum, Ayton, Moffat), while Macedonia itself was named after a farmstead which once stood south of the area.[2] Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation figures from 2020 indicate that Macedonia falls within the 10-20% most deprived communities in Scotland.[3]
History
[edit]Macedonia was developed as a housing estate in the 1960s and features a unique "Wheel and Spoke" design. In its design, the local Southwood Primary School is placed in the centre, with roads running to it from the main road and many footpaths offering alternative access separate from the roads. The designers added an array of features into the housing estate that made it unique compared to other houses in Glenrothes, such as porches, wood panelling, and coloured harling.[4]
