Halyards Palace

Located to the north-west of the village of Auchtertool, the Palace of Halyards (or Hallyards Castle) is reputed to have been a hunting seat of Malcolm Canmore. With the establishment of the Roman Church, Halyards became the local residence of the Bishops of Dunkeld; it remained so until the first lay proprietor took possession in 1539. The influence that Halyards had on the district cannot be overstated.

Binnend

Binnend is an abandoned industrial village near Burntisland in Fife. It was established in the early 1880s to house workers at the nearby shale oil extraction works. Production was short-lived, however, and the mines closed in 1894. In 1891, the population was about 760 but it declined quickly; many people had left by the time that the mines closed, but the last inhabitant, George Hood, remained until 1954. The land had been sold to the Whinnyhall Estate.
