Old Photograph School Methil Scotland

Old photograph of children outside a school in Methil, Fife, Scotland. Methil like the other towns in Levenmouth is situated near the river mouth of Leven River. While the town dates back to the 12th century, the town became a barony in 1572, but then did not see much growth until the 19th and 20th century. This growth really started in the 1870s when Methil was chosen as a site for the development of new coal exportation docks. These docks were to be used to export Fife coal and the development lead to a resurgence of life in Methil.
