Roman Fife Scotland

Roman Fife Scotland. It is a curious fact that the Roman occupation of Scotland has attracted a greater degree of archaeological enquiry than perhaps any other territory of the Roman Empire. Indeed, we know more about the Romans in Scotland than we do about the Romans in Italy. But what about Roman Fife? What role did Fife play in Rome’s North-West Frontier and what evidence, if any, do we have to suggest that the Romans were ever here? Roman Fife Scotland.

Levenmouth Fife Scotland

Levenmouth, Fife, Scotland. The exhibition Levenmouth: Then and Now at Methil Heritage Centre takes a nostaligic look at Levenmouth in the past. The photographs on display show many familiar places and landmarks, some have changed beyond recognition whilst others appear almost the same. One particular photograph of the Caledonian Hotel in Leven was taken over a hundred years ago and the hotel is still going strong today, having recently undergone a refurbishment. The images and objects in the exhibition are quite thought provoking, considering how different our lifestyles are now compared to the "olden days." For instance, you may think that the home delivery service of today's large supermarkets is a new concept, but we have one photograph showing a Co-op delivery horse-drawn cart taken at a time when it was the norm for shops to take their produce out to their customers. There are also some old Co-op tokens which worked in a similar way to modern loyalty rewards points schemes. As well as places and landmarks, shopping and the High Street in general, other areas explored are home and family life, leisure time and transport.

Black Earnside Ancestry Tour of Scotland

Black Earnside Ancestry Tour of Scotland. Black Earnside, Newburgh, Fife, Scotland. To the west of Newburgh there stretched for several miles a wood known as Black Earnside, or as it was sometimes known, Black Ironside. It was a dark wood which covered the hillside and extended down to the waters edge. The name of Earn Side favours the idea that geologists entertain, that the river Earn would its course by the foot of the Fife hills, and joined with the Tay near Longforgan.

Sir William Wallace in his fight against the English often used Black Earn side as a sheltered and there is still a bridge along which the road passes near the top of the ascent, about two miles east from the Abbey which is known as Wallace's Bridge. In 1298 in the month of June, Wallace fought the Earl of Pembroke at Black Earn Side.

"This wood we'll hold as long as we stand,
To the last man we'll fight it, sword in hand.
The right is ours, let's do it manfully;
I'll free this land once more before I die."

Although the Scots were heavily out numbered they built a stockade and held the English at bay. Help came from Newburgh and the villages roundabout in the shape of labourers with farming tools until finally the English were completely routed and overthrown. Wallace and his triumphant followers retired to the Lindores Abbey, there to recuperate and celebrate their success, entering through the Slype, the Eastern entrance to the cloisters which is still standing today.
