Well, I'm guessing they are farms - I haven't been there - but they look like farms on the old O.S. One-inch map. 

Oddly, West Coaltown isn't actually named on the newer 1:50,000 map.
Ballingall, Donaldson, Fulton, Gillespie, Ramsay, Walker - in Fife.
Bury - in Salford & Liverpool.
Jack - in Glasgow, Dunfermline & Dundee.
Bermingham/Birmingham - in Cork.
Eagle - in Norfolk, Edinburgh & Glasgow.

Doesn't the names of places gradually evolves over the time? Perhaps that was the case with West Coaltown?
Stewarts from Moffat and Lanarkshire, Scotland.
Twaddles and Wrights from County Longford, Ireland.
Weirs from Ayrshire, Scotland.

I would imagine back in the day, given the proximity, there was probably only 1 road/track dividing those farmlands but over time the whole area seems to be as one (Coaltown of Balgonie) & I noticed Tullybreck Farm is still in existence.

They come under the Parish of Markinch.

Strathore/Thornton come under the parish of Kirkcaldy although there's only a distance of approx. 3.5 miles between Markinch & Thornton.
