Highlight • Viewpoint

If you're coming from the direction of Rosyth then watch out for a steep downhill with quite bad road surface, if your coming towards Rosyth then similarly watch out for a steep uphill climb with the same bad road quality

Charlestown Limekilns

Highlight • Monument

The 14 limekilns at Charlestown were built out of sandstone in the 18th century and became the largest in Scotland. Opposite the kilns is a harbour specifically built to allow ships to get as close as possible to the kilns, after which they would carry the quicklime and coal to the rest of the country and beyond; playing an important role in the industrialisation process.
