Welcome mat laid out across Fife

Weird and wonderful doors are being thrown open across northeast Fife tomorrow.

The annual Doors Open Days event will run at venues across the area, allowing the public to go “through the keyhole” to rarely seen treasures.

This will be followed on Sunday September 10 in central Fife and on Sunday September 17 in west Fife.

Venues in north-east Fife include St Mary’s Episcopal Church in Newport, Leng Memorial Chapel in Vicarsford Cemetery, Newport, Largo and Newburn Parish Church in Upper Largo, the Auld Kirk in Tayport, St Margaret’s Episcopal Church in Tayport and Kingsbarns Church.

The Dreel Halls and St Nicholas Tower in Anstruther, the Isle of May lighthouses, Burgh Chambers in Tayport, Cambo Heritage Centre, Fife Folk Museum in Ceres and the Windmill near St Monans will also be open.

Watt’s old jail cell in Cupar, with its history of the town, and a 1940s house in central Cupar will also be open.

The house was built in 1936 and has survived the decades largely intact with limited modernisation.

Visitors can view the furnishings, technology and pastimes of home life in the ’40s.

The guided tours to the house have to be booked at hello@ fortieshouse.co.uk.
