Coaltown of Wemyss

The Coaltown of Wemyss (About this sound listen ) is the closest village to Wemyss Castle, Fife, Scotland. "The Coaltown" has a primary school [1], some small shops, the Earl David Hotel, named after David Wemyss, 2nd Earl of Wemyss and cottages originally built for mineworkers. Close to the village are now-unworked deep coal mine workings. There is a gateway leading towards Wemyss Castle, although the road is unsurfaced, often very muddy and may not be suitable for driving upon.
