Stratheden

Stratheden (Gaelic: "Srath Aodainn") is a hamlet 1 kilometre west of Cupar, and just north of Springfield, in Fife, Scotland. The hamlet comprises a psychiatric hospital, together with Stratheden Cottages, which were originally built to house the hospital staff.

The hospital was built as the Fife and Kinross District Lunatic Asylum in the 1860s. It has also been known as Cupar Asylum and Springfield Asylum.

The Scots Porridge Oats factory is located nearby, as is Elmwood Farm, the first fully organic farm in Scotland. The Scottish Deer Centre is located just to the west.

Stratheden is located within the Church of Scotland parish of Ceres, Kemback and Springfield.
