πŸ“Œ Buckhaven, Fife
β˜…β˜…

Buckhaven now appears to be an quiet, unremarkable coastal village, consisting of a lot of modern housing and not much tourist appeal. The small museum housed above the village library reveals that this wasn’t always the case: by 1831, Scotland’s second largest fishing fleet was based here before coal mining took over in the 1860s. Old pictures inside the museum show off a beautiful local beach; sadly, this was ruined by coal waste which also silted up the now non-existent harbour.
