More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This work gives an insight into the many changes which have affected one of Scotland's most interesting areas and its people. It chronicles the many changes which have taken place over the last 100 years and brings to life again the shops, pubs, factories, industries, streets and entire communities which have changed or have been irretrievably lost. The major changes to manufacturing, the maritime trade, coal mining and other industries and their steady replacement by light industry and the retail and services sectors have had a profound impact on the lives of people and their communities. The work also puts these new developments in an historical context spanning 8000 years. It combines archive photographs, a valuable early postcard collection and specially-commissioned new images to chart the growth, development and change of East Fife and its largest town.

Format:Hardcover
The photos and pictures in this book are interesting but it is so riddled with factual errors that this casts doubt on the entire text. Sir Henry Wood (the English conductor?) defeats Henry VIII's navy in 1546? Sir Andrew Wood, Henry VII and around a half century earlier surely? Gaelic-speaking Celts arriving from the continent around 500-400 BC? Either Celts then or Gaels a millenium later. Alexander Selkirk listed as Andrew. Legends (e.g. St. Rule, St. Andrew, a saltire in the sky etc.) are presented as fact and myths perpetuated (much as any Fifer may hold to it, Dunfermline was never the capital of Scotland). I could go on and we haven't left the introductory chapter yet. It's a shame as it would make for an interesting read if one could feel assured that there was more rigour in the research.
Buy it for the pictures but check the history elsewhere.
