“The castle was acquired by the Town Council in 1952. In 1957, an early 17th-century painted timber ceiling was discovered; it is now in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.[1] The ceiling includes the initials ‘SRM’ for ‘Sir Robert Melville of Murdocairney’ and emblems copied from the Devises Heroïques of Claude Paradin.[4] The council threatened to demolish the property, which had been allowed to deteriorate, but it was saved after a public inquiry in 1972. It was bought in 1975 by the architecture firm Robert Hurd & Partners, who restored it and retain the building as their offices. It is a category B listed building.”

There’s a small mistake in the latest Burgh Buzz crossword.

The clue for 19 down is ‘Waiting in line’ and not ‘completely’.

Bigger version – print out, fill in, post off, perhaps win.

For the past few days the heavy load carrier Swan has been at the Burntisland Deep Water Anchorage off The Lammerlaws.

It waited for its load and prepared by submerging its deck to allow a laden barge to float on board, complete with Transformer-like cargo.

The loaded Swan set sail for China last night. It had arrived off Burntisland from Uruguay.

A month ago its sister ship Albatross (currently in Texas) collected a load here.

In the week that the Twinning visitors are here, it shows that Burntisland is quite well connected to the rest of the world!

Members of the public are warmly welcomed.
