New information regarding World War I and II fallen of the Benarty area has been added to the the website and can be viewed by going to the “More Historical Information” menu scroll down to War Information and then select from the sub menu on the right.

Thank you for continuing to use our website.

 

I have added a few new photos over the past couple of days and will be adding more shortly. The photos come from the Murphy and Ross Families.

I have also added a new document called Ballingry Parish History this document comes from Dr Simon Taylor’s series of books entitled Place Names of Fife. Dr Taylor has kindly given us permission to use the extract relating to Ballingry on our site and can be found by going to Historical Information then Ballingry then Ballingry Parish History or by clicking here

Finally if you have any photos or documents which are suitable to be place on our site please contact me.

New photos have been added and thanks to Lindsay Farmer for the photo of Ballingry Manse and Church and to the Murphy family for the other 3 photos.

If anyone has photos they’d like to share please email me. I’m looking for photos relating to St Kenneth’s RC Primary school for an exhibition later this year so if you have any please get in touch.

Thanks

A new video of Lochore House Youth Club has been added to the Videos Page. The film is another cine film from Jackie Scott’s archive and is entitled ‘Hamilton Party’. It is fitting that last person seen on the film at 13m 59s is Jackie himself.

I hope you enjoy it.

3 new photos have been added to the Recently Added page, http://benarty.org.uk/gallery3/index.php/Recently-Added/#img=1

The photos show members of Lochore Institute Committee at the gala held at Lochore House.

Photo 2 show children from St Kenneth’s RC Primary School choir and Photo 3 show member from Lochore Institute on a visit to a distillery.

I would like to thank Elma Brown for providing the photos, more will be added soon.
