Old Photograph Post Office Dunshalt Fife Scotland


Old photograph of women outside the Post Office in Dunshalt between Auchtermuchty and Falkland in Fife, Scotland. The name Dunshalt, sometimes spelled Dunshelt, is, according to legend, a corruption of the term Dane's Hold after a local encampment of invading Danes who were defeated at Falkland Moor. Other suggestions include the name coming from the Gaelic, " dun " meaning a fortification, with the prehistoric fort still visible.
