I read somewhere that the name might have links with the old religious order of Culdees who might have had a meeting house there.

In the 1950s my father and I would walk what he referred to as The old Cuddy Road. I remember what seemed to me a rock face bearing the words in white paint .the wages of sin is death. and someone had added below..and the wages of a working man is a damn site less...would love to know if this still exists.

I think it may have been associated with horses and their stables!

60 plus years ago I walked from Old Perth road to Kingseat [and back] with my Grandfather who knew this walk simply as The Cuddy Road. At the time only horse drawn traffic used this road and I have always assumed this is how it got its name. I am afraid I have never heard it called Cuddy House Road as if my memory serves me correctly there were no houses ajoining the road - only a few farm buildings set well back. I hope this is of some help to you.
