Old Photographs East Wemyss Scotland

Old photograph of children and buildings in East Wemyss, Fife, Scotland. This Scottish village was traditionally one of several coal mining communities along the south coast of Fife. The pit was its main employer for many years until it was closed in 1967 due to a fire which resulted in the deaths of nine men. East Wemyss is also home to the ruins of MacDuff's Castle, home to the MacDuff Earls of Fife, the most powerful family in Fife during the Middle Ages.
