Welcome

This site contains photos of the Fife villages of Lochore, Ballingry, Crosshill and Glencraig commonly know as the Benarty area. The site was built using material supplied by various sources however the majority are taken from a collection of photographs relating to the Benarty area collated by Jim Campbell and Nicholas Fox.
All copyrights are hereby acknowledged.

The rationale for the site was, basically, to develop my web building skills however as I've always had an interest in local history and in particular the history of the Benarty area it made sense to combine both interests and this site is the result. The site is still a work in progress and will be developed and improved through time.

New page added dedicated to your memories of growing up and living in the Benarty area. If you’d like to share your memories please email me.
I have had requests for certain local individuals to be included in the Hall of Fame, however I don’t always know the person concerned or their achievement and therefore I can’t write an article about them. What I suggest is that if you have a request please write up your piece similar to those already in the Hall of Fame. For example see the piece on John Aird or Doug Rougvie A photo would be great but is not necessary. Then email it to me using the email link on the site.
Thanks
