Roscobie Lime Works
Roscobie Lime Works operated a quarry, mines and limekilns north of Dunfermline. Ordnance Survey maps indicate that tramways were used in the operations within the site, and in a period between by 1896 and 1947 and active in 1915, there was a tramroad from the kilns, across the B914 to a loading stage at Gask Siding (see image 37505) a distance of about a kilometre as the crow flies. Gauge unknown. The disused limekilns were demolished in 1991 for safety reasons. My photograph from 1993 looks south over the former quarry area showing the 'main line' of the internal tramroad heading for the kilns.
