West Wemyss history

---

The village of West Wemyss began as a settlement around the site of the castle. It developed into a centre for the salt industry in the area. A harbour was later built in 1621 for the use of coal exportation from the pits on the lands of their estate. The industry, which saw trade with England and The Low Countries, started to struggle once the new docks were opened in Methil further along the Fife coast.
