Kirkfield
Scottish for 'Church', the name of this town reflects the pious nature of the original settlers whose Protestant work ethic built the solid brick houses that line the Main Street of the town Sir William MacKenzie called home. With a population of 250, Kirkfield's size is dwarfed by its charm. Kirkfield is home to the second highest lift lock in the world, Lock 36 on the Trent Severn Waterway.
