Old Photograph Halbeath Scotland

Old photograph of Halbeath by Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland. It derives its name from the Gaelic choil beath, which means " wood of birches ", and began as a colliery village. In the summer of 1789, a coal pit was sunk at Halbeath, two and a half miles north east of Dunfermline, and by 1821, 841 people were reported to be living in the village.
