Although it needs updating, East Lodge does benefit from double glazing and LPG central heating.

Blair Castle is an A listed early 19th Century mansion house. During the First World War, it bought by the Fife Coal Company, who wanted the mineral rights to the estate.

In 1927, the house and estate was gifted to the Fife, Kinross and Clackmannan Welfare Committee, along with a sum of money to support its running costs.

Today it’s run by the Scottish Mining Convalescent Trust and provides breaks for retired miners and their carers.
