Located NW of Auchtertool, Hallyards (Hall yairds - "the yards at the hall") is reputed to have been Malcolm Canmore's hunting seat, then residence of the Bishops of Dunkeld until 1539.

John Knox wrote about fighting there between French troops and the Lords of the Congregation. In Feb 1560 it was reported "clean overthrown". James Hamilton, 3rd Earl of Arran escaped via bedsheets to get there before meeting Mary Queen of Scots at Falkland Palace.

Now Planning Ref 26/01243/PPP for the £5bn Cato data centre proposes to build directly over it. HES refused listed status per The National on 2nd Oct.

We walked and flew it last week so there's at least a record. Photo from the flight attached, full video here - https://youtu.be/ml6TwgC2fb8

This sounds weird, but there’s nothing I can find about anything like this up here. I’m 25 from Scotland, looking to pay a woman, preferably under 30/35 to admire her perfect feet and socks, and hopefully see where it goes from there, ideally from Fife or surrounding areas. Would be able to pay all the time

Hi I am so so nervous to post this, I’ve been under cmht west for years, a long long time and I’ve had more bad experiences than good, like it’s honestly been awful at times. I’ve been on upwards of 25 different medications, had therapy, been hospitalised a few times (but not for years), although bad experiences I have never felt the level of neglect I am having right now, I have been dealing with so much this year with my mental health, in and out of low lows and high highs and not much rest in between, at my last appointment in spring my psych decided I was to come off most my meds gradually, apparently would see me in 3-4 months, in August my gp was so worried about me he asked them to see me urgently, cmht / psych decided it wasn’t needed despite not speaking to me more than one phone call (at the time) - which was with a nurse who told me I needed to do a distress tolerance book I’ve done online about 3 times already, that I didn’t need to be seen and have instead booked me in for NOVEMBER. I’m at the point I have had to do my OWN medication tweaking to settle things, I was on an agitated high and self concluded I needed to cut down antidepressants, I am at a loss because now I am feeling agitated low, but they won’t see me so I don’t know what to do, I’ve phoned up multiple times and they tell me to do relaxation etc, I don’t think they get it that sometimes we are past that. I’ve also worked in third sector mental health I know the proven stuff that works, to an extent, I’m past that and I am holding on by a thread. I don’t know what to do honestly, does anyone have any advice? And is anyone else in this boat, I honestly feel alone and like they just do not care. I have NO support and phoning the duty line makes me worse at this point. Pls don’t recommend local charities etc due to professional background.

Hi! I(32M) moved to Thornton a few months ago and would love to meet some new people around Fife and maybe even make friends.

It would be great to find out about events, communities, groups, clubs, etc. around the local area and Fife in general as well. Any suggestions?

Hi! We just moved to the area - pretty much halfway between Perth and Cupar. We have 2 large breed dogs and are looking for a great dog groomer. Any recommendations are appreciated, thanks!

Hello, as the title says, I’m looking for a good roofer for some minor repair work. I’d rather reach out to ones that anyone would recommend on here. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I visited from Perth on Saturday and hadn't been to the main town in ages. Had a lovely walk on the beach with the dog and lunch at Balgove Larder.

When we went into the actual town, it was mad to see how busy it was - great in a way but traffic was mental! I can't believe the amount of cars everywhere and in the car ourselves driving at snails pace and impossible to get a parking space. My mother was driving and she's disabled so couldn't park and walk in.

Seems a shame that it continues to be so car centric, when there's really no space for all the traffic that was there. It felt noisy, smelly and overwhelming with the amount of cars and I wondered if there were plans to have any low traffic streets or introduce measures to make it more accessible with public transport like trams etc.

It would be so much more pleasant and safer if a big bit part of it was pedestrianised or had public transport only.

There was also no internet connection in the centre of town for any of us visiting, probably due to the amount of people? Was nuts though! I couldn't move money in my bank account to pay in shops that didn't accept cash.

Looking for somewhere central fife to live, somewhere relatively nice as i have a son

Hi, I'm looking to host a bigger garden party celebration in a year or so and would like to hire a food truck for the evening meal. Would anyone have recommendations for who to approach? The location will be near Leven.

Hi everyone!

I (27M) moved to Cupar area from Yorkshire a few months ago for a grad role and was wondering what people would recommend as good ways to meet people who are a bit more introverted like myself?

Thanks!

Hi all. I'm looking to find someone that sells the above (cold smoked haddock for use in Cullen Skink) in Fife please?

I tried Balgrove Larder today but they didn't know if the haddock they had was cold or hot smoked!

I know some of the East Neuk fish vans travel around, but I'm not on Facebook so can't see any details!

Thanks so much. I'm close to Cupar but happy to travel.

Hi all!

Im in fife (dunfermline) for work for the next two weeks. I am an expat based in London and Always wanted to see Scotland! While i plan a proper holiday in this beautiful place I would like some ideas on places/foods/activities for the only weekend I Will have to roam around! (The next One)

I was on your patch, after all, at the North Queensferry end

Has anybody in Fife had experience installing something similar to this on a pavement?

No idea where to start in terms of who to ask for permission.

Or can I just do it?

Looking at getting an EV but don't have a garage or drive so charging at home is a challenge.

Grateful for anybody in the same position as me and how you got round it!

Anyone want see the new movie together?

Does anyone have a rec for photographers in the East Neuk/St Andrews area? I'm thinking of getting new professional headshots and wondering where to start looking for portfolios, prices, etc. Thanks!

Hiya! I'm a dog photographer and putting together an evening shoot. We'd ideally be looking for somewhere quiet as the shoot is for a reactive dog who doesn't do well in busy environments. I'm thinking along the lines of Pettycur or Lower Largo, but open to anything really! Just nothing further than Elie.

Thanks!

Bit of a long shot, but I thought Reddit might actually be the best place to ask.

I’m currently renovating my garden shed and turning it into a small workshop, and I’m trying to do as much of it as possible using reclaimed or unwanted materials rather than buying everything new.

If anyone in or around Fife has spare timber, plywood, OSB or other usable wood left over from a renovation, DIY project or old shed/workshop, I’d be very grateful to take it off your hands.

The sort of stuff I’m looking for is:
• Timber battens or lengths of timber
• Plywood sheets or decent-sized offcuts
• OSB or similar sheet material
• Pallets or reclaimed timber
• Old shelving or worktop material
• Basically any usable wood that would otherwise be going to the tip

It doesn’t need to be perfect or pretty. As long as it’s reasonably dry, not rotten and still structurally usable, I can probably find a use for it.

I don’t currently have a budget for materials, so I’m specifically looking for anything people are happy to give away rather than sell.

One slight complication is that I don’t drive, and my dog has recently undergone surgery, so I’m unable to be away from home at the moment.

If anyone nearby happened to be able to drop anything off, that would be hugely appreciated. If not, even if you could hold onto it for a short while until I can arrange someone to help me collect it, that would still be a massive help.
I’m happy to take small quantities and offcuts too — it definitely doesn’t need to be a whole van-load.

Figured it was worth asking before perfectly usable timber ends up in a skip or at the recycling centre 😅
Thanks!

Old butchers name.

Hi, I'm struggling to remember the names of the two guys that had a butchers together in Glenrothes town centre way back in the eighties. We think one was Alex Mitchell but as for the other name.... Not a glimmer absolutely nowt. Any help appreciated thanks.
