Pitcoudie is a housing area in North Glenrothes in the Kingdom of Fife, Scotland – comprising 396 terraced and semi-detached houses.
Traditionally, a pitcoudie was a donkey, mule or work-horse which ferried coal and slag from the coal mines – spending most of its life underground.
The area of Pitcoudie today exists on what was once an extensive range of mining-shafts and pits.
There is also a primary school in the area, along with Pitteuchar West primary school in the south of Glenrothes, it is one of just two primary schools in Glenrothes to be open-planned.
