Approval of previous Minutes: The draft Minute of the meeting held in May 2016 was approved. 3. Matters Arising from Previous Minutes: 5.0 PKC Public Transport Consultation: Stagecoach Route 201 which links Kinross to Glenrothes via the five Portmoak settlements was subsidised and was part of a current review on Kinross-shire public transport by PKC. At the open consultation forum hosted by PKC, the CC and several residents had reflected views from Portmoak on the value of route 201. WCllrs were asked to clarify if the burden of subsidy fell only on PKC or did Fife Council make a contribution. 6.0 Local Boundary Commission: The recommendation of the Commission to Scottish Ministers to retain the boundaries of the existing Ward 8 (Kinross-shire) and its representation by four 4 ward councillors was warmly welcomed. If the anticipated support for this decision from PKC was sent to the Scottish Government, the CC would also write in support. 8.1 Boulders restricting passage of essential agricultural machinery on the Dryside Road at Muirs of Kinnesswood. The land on both sides of the carriageway was owned by a local resident. PKC did not feel it had a locus in resolving this longstanding matter.

    Cobbleside, Kinnesswood, Kinross, KY13 9HL Offers Over £355,000 Exceptional detached home commanding panoramic views towards Loch Leven. The property was designed and built by the master craftsman owner circa 1970. The bespoke timber staircase is a particularly attractive feature and the mature, well-tended gardens wrap around the property making the most of the elevated views. Overlooking Loch Leven and sitting at the foot of Bishop Hill, the popular and charming village of Kinnesswood was the home of the 18th century Gentle Poet’, Michael Bruce, whose work is commemorated in the museum situated in Rose Cottage, The Cobbles. Awarded a Silver Gilt Scotland in Bloom’ award, Kinnesswood enjoys other local attractions such as Loch Leven Castle, Burleigh Castle and Loch Leven’s Larder shop and tearoom. The excellent village amenities include a post office, petrol station and garage and Portmoak Primary School. Further shopping is available a short drive away in Kinross and Glenrothes.

The large L’ shaped open plan living / dining room makes the most of the stunning views and is flooded with natural light.
