Carnkie is a small village with a varied history, starting out as a small group of houses inhabited by workers at local quarries. The village grew rapidly in the 19th century as it found itself at the centre of intense mining activity. In the late 20th century some older houses have been renovated and others replaced by modern bungalows.
