Dysart, Kirkcaldy
Posted in Architecture, Kirkcaldy at 13:00 on 12 December 2011
It’s a while since I’ve posted any photos of Kirkcaldy and its environs.
Just up the coast and originally a separate village but now swallowed up by greater Kirkcaldy is Dysart.
It has a nice wee harbour which the picture below does not show completely. The former Harbour Master’s House on the quayside is now a bistro.
Dysart’s main industry used to be mining. This is the winding gear of the Barony* Coal Mine as was.
There are some striking pan-tiled roof houses in Dysart. This part of the village is known as Pan Ha’.
The tower in the background is called St Serf’s Tower.

A couple more pictures of Dysart are on my flickr.
*Edited to add. This may actually have been the Frances Colliery. I was confusing it with something else called the Barony.
