  • A Wee Keek Back – Dunfermline Journal
    1 "A WEE KEEK BACK" BY JIM CAMPBELL "CENTRAL AND WEST FIFE LOCAL HISTORY PRESERVATION" ("The Present Preserving the Past for the Future") --------------- 24 St Ronan’s Gardens – Crosshill – KY5 8BL – 01592-860051 [email protected] --------------- At the time of writing this, I have been researching the Central and West Fife Local history for some eight years. During this time I have read quite a few books about Fife written by various and well known authors, most of which I have thoroughly enjoyed and found very enlightening, but I found a source of much greater interest and enlightenment when I began to research the local newspapers. Within the pages of "The Lochgelly Times", the "West Fife Echo" and most importantly "The Dunfermline Journal", I was delighted to find a veritable gold mine of information regarding the development of Central and West Fife. Almost everything of any importance at all in regards to the Central and West Fife area was reported somewhere within the pages of those newspapers, from the early days of coal mining, the beginning and building of the Tay and Forth Railway Bridges, the building and opening of Schools, Co-operative Societies, Gothenburg’s, Miners Welfare Institutes, of the Tramway cars being introduced, the appearance of the Automobile, the Education Act, the introduction of electricity, the opening up of the mining industry in the area, the mining disasters, the Linen trade, the political scene, the birth of towns, burgh's and villages, in short, I believe I discovered for myself the beginning of the Fife that we now know, and thanks to the many different articles consisting of reminiscences, Sanitary Inspectors Reports, Medical Officers reports, etc, that appear in these newspapers, we have been left with a reasonably authentic account of what life was like in Fife in the days gone by.

    BURNTISLAND 2015 A SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS ROBERT WILLS UNIVERSITY OF DUNDEE TP51012 20 NOVEMBER 2015 Abstract Burntisland is a coastal town of 6,000 people in South Fife. As it has developed from a fishing village through an important port and export base to its position today as a seaside, commuting and base for marine engineering, the town’s location and topography has influenced its economy, and it economy has influenced its spatial development, identity and sense of place. Recent community planning consultation raised issues including development of the harbour, a desire to improve the High Street, and concern with the scale of recent development. The report looks at these issues through the lens of its historic development and a spatial and qualitative appraisal of the Town today. The historic analysis shows that Burntisland’s harbour has been integral to its development, both as a source of income through fishing and shipbuilding and as a location for railway and ship exports. This has influenced its spatial development through the location of its High Street leading to the harbour, the shape of the port today and the shape of the railway that circuits and cuts through the town. The High Street suffers from traffic issues, a current commuter led lack of quality shopping yet maintains an active café scene,. The economic ups and downs have contributed to the fabric of the town, with a High Street that reveals an eclectic personality, through layers of renovation, and a wider town with areas of grand terraces on the one hand and areas of low grade housing on the other.

  • The Geology of Burntisland
    THE GEOLOGY OF BURNTISLAND by Keddie Law Second edition, 2010 At a mere 632 feet (193m) in height, it can hardly claim to be to be amongst Scotland's giant hills, yet the Binn (Hill), visible from almost every point in Burntisland, dominates the town. Some claim that without this wall formed by the Binn and its westerly neighbour Dunearn Hill, the town would suffer more from cold northerly winds. This claim seems to be reflected in the Latin inscription on the town’s coat of arms: “Colles praesidio dedit Deus” - God gives us the protection of the hills. Pictured right - the volcanic vent of the Binn dominates the town. Much of the landscape of the Burntisland area - certainly the hilly parts - owes its shape to the volcanic activity which originated in the volcanic neck represented by the Binn. In terms of age we are looking back at events that occurred some 300 million years or so ago during the Carboniferous Period. The other rocks, less hard in nature, and therefore providing much of the lower ground, are sandstones, shales, thin impure limestones and even a thin seam of coal discovered during the Binnend oil shale industry operations. The presence of several necks - the Binn itself, Kingswood, Kilmundy and Silverbarton - indicates the degree of igneous activity in this area. Map these necks and you will see an arc forming a semi-circle around the town. In Burntisland proper there are several east-west running ridges of higher ground, all composed of either basalt or dolerite and these represent either lava flows or igneous intrusions such as sills.

Some of it may have been acquired by other councils, like the former county, or district councils. However, almost all former burghs had a Common Good Fund, which consisted of land, buildings, moveable items like paintings, and cash. The land and buildings which a burgh owned were made up of three main categories: those acquired under a statute (for example, land bought for council housing); land held on trust where a benefactor had provided for a specific trust to be administered by the fund; and Common Good property. What property now forms parts of the Common Good Fund may sometimes need research, as it may not be obvious from the titles what property was acquired for. 2 Anstruther ANSTRUTHER Former Burghs: Kilrenny Royal Burgh, Anstruther Easter Royal Burgh and Anstruther Wester Royal Burgh SRN (GRPN/OR ref) Asset (Name or description) Type of asset Location Town Extent Origin (Provenance) Accession number (if

  • Appendix C. Well and Borehole Interpretations and Correlations A.A
    APPENDIX C TO ‘THE CARBONIFEROUS SHALES OF THE MIDLAND VALLEY OF SCOTLAND: GEOLOGY AND RESOURCE ESTIMATION’ Appendix C. Well and borehole interpretations and correlations A.A. Monaghan & M.A.E. Browne Well correlation Figure C1 Location of the well/borehole correlation panels Well correlation panels hung on the base of the Lower Limestone Formation (Hurlet Limestone) highlight the differing stratigraphic intervals drilled and the lateral variability of the Carboniferous succession (Figures C2-C6). The influence of igneous activity is striking, with numerous igneous sills and volcanic intervals encountered. Table 2 summarises the depths and thicknesses in key wells and boreholes used in this study. The correlation of the Limestone Coal and Lower Limestone formations above the Hurlet Limestone is usually fairly straightforward, well studied and well constrained by data, though the precise assignments of named limestone and coal beds can be problematic where there is faulting and a lack of macrofaunal data. Lateral thickness variations are common, for example the Black Metals Member marine band reaches 164 ft (50 m) thick on the northern side of the Central Coalfield contrasting with less than ten feet (a few metres) thick in parts of the Midlothian Coalfield. Correlation in the Strathclyde Group is more challenging due to laterally variable sedimentary and volcanic strata, laterally changing nomenclature, less constraining data and the possible effects of volcanism on biostratigraphically important faunas and floras. ©DECC 2014 1 APPENDIX C TO ‘THE CARBONIFEROUS SHALES OF THE MIDLAND VALLEY OF SCOTLAND: GEOLOGY AND RESOURCE ESTIMATION’ Some of the volcanic strata are fairly well defined spatially by map, borehole/well and geophysical (magnetic) data (e.g.

  • Estimation of the Total In-Place Oil and Gas Resources in Carboniferous Shales in the Midland Valley of Scotland
    APPENDIX A TO ‘THE CARBONIFEROUS SHALES OF THE MIDLAND VALLEY OF SCOTLAND: GEOLOGY AND RESOURCE ESTIMATION’ Appendix A: Estimation of the total in-place oil and gas resources in Carboniferous shales in the Midland Valley of Scotland I.J. Andrews, A. A. Monaghan & M.J. Sankey 1. Aim The aim of this study is to estimate the P10-P50-P901 range of total gas in-place and total oil in- place volumes for the Limestone Coal Formation, Lower Limestone Formation, West Lothian Oil- shale unit and Gullane unit (Carboniferous) across the Midland Valley of Scotland. This analysis forms an appendix to the main Midland Valley of Scotland report, which provides the detailed geological background to this shale oil and shale gas play. This specific study applies a Monte Carlo simulation to a suite of input parameters, some of which were a product of the geology-based methodology described in the main report, and others which are based on information from published analogues. The methodology used for the Midland Valley of Scotland study follows that used by Andrews (2013 & 2014) to assess the prospectivity of the Bowland-Hodder shales of central Britain and Jurassic shales of the Weald area. Two sets of resource estimates are presented; firstly the best technical case of prospective and potentially exploitable shale oil and shale gas using a mining-related depth cut-off. These are the resource estimates recommended to be used. Secondly, estimates for an in-place sensitivity test using a 1,000 ft (305 m) depth cut-off are examined. 2. Best technical case in-place gas calculation The total gas content of a shale is made up of two main components: Free gas – the gas contained in pore spaces; this volume is very pressure dependent, and pressure is related to depth (assuming no overpressure).
