Rephotography - Burntisland Oil Works
Dougie Vipond is joined by landscape photographer Colin Prior for the launch of a major BBC Scotland project to capture images of man's impact on the Scottish landscape. Euan follows the journey of the famous Edinburgh Christmas tree from felling in the forest to the switch-on of lights. Find out if the Young family are ready to part with their feathered friends in the final instalment of Landward's 'Turkey for Christmas' series.
Colin Prior visits the site of Burntisland Oil Works.
At its peak in 1887 the works gave employment to almost a thousand men. It produced 15,000 gallons of crude oil a day.
The Oil Works were closed down by 1905, and the site is now covered by trees.
Fife Group
Fife is one of Scotland’s 32 unitary council areas. It lies between the Firth of Tay and the Firth of Forth, and borders Perth and Kinross and Clackmannanshire.
Prior to 1996, the area was governed under a two-tier system, with a local government region divided into three districts – Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy and North-East Fife.
Fife is Scotland's third largest local authority area by population. Almost a third of the population live in the three principal towns of Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes.
