Burntisland East Dock

Bulk handling barges Nos 5 & 6 moored at Burntisland in 1986. These and others were used for bringing Bauxite ore to the dockside from large ships in the Forth estuary. By this time the ore was loaded by the cranes onto lorries rather than rail wagons and the dockside tracks had been lifted.
