Seafield Harbour
A hovercraft approaches the beach at Kirkcaldy on 27 July 2007, during a two week demonstration of a potential commuter service to Edinburgh, sponsored by Stagecoach. Whilst popular, the trial was not progressed. A new proposal may come to fruition in 2023, using three craft. In the background to this picture are the shattered remains of Seafield Harbour, once meant to rival Burntisland for the export of coal but fatally damaged by storms before completion. It would have been served by a branch off the Kirkcaldy District Railway.
