Rossend Castle

Rossend Castle is a historic building in Burntisland, a town on the south coast of Fife, Scotland. A keep, known as the Tower of Kingorne Wester, was in existence on the site from 1119. It was later referred to as Burntisland Castle, and by 1382 was called Abbot's Hall, as it was the home of the Abbot of Dunfermline. The present building is largely of the 16th century, though with a 13th-century basement, which contains lancet windows and may represent the remains of a chapel.

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.
