Old photograph of shops and people in Coaltown of Wemyss, Fife, Scotland. Coaltown of Wemyss is the closest village to Wemyss Castle, Fife, Scotland. Cottages originally built for mineworkers. Close to the village are now unworked deep coal mine workings. Originally, it was two villages, Easter and Wester, but when the miners distinctive cottages were expanded by the Wemyss Coal Co in 1860, the two villages were amalgamated as a " model mining village.
