Unstable cliffs surrounding a Fife ‘Outlander’ harbour are in line for £450,000 of repairs. Urgent work will be carried out at Dysart Harbour, where the sandstone cliff face is in danger of collapse. The 19th century port is one of Fife’s top tourism destination and doubled as L’Harve in the second series of worldwide TV hit Outlander. Fife Council officers say the state of the cliffs, which overlook the Firth of Forth, is a danger to the public.

Councillors have agreed to start discussions with businesses and communities over the next few months. This will allow the local authority to make an informed decision on whether a Fife visitor levy is a good idea. Fiona Campbell, from the Association of Scotland’s Self-Caterers (ASSC), says she has major reservations.

A Fife councillor has appealed for calm amid fears construction work on Anstruther’s new £7 million lifeboat station will hit trade. Businesses are worried the loss of 70 town centre car parking spaces during the 18-month build will put visitors off. East Neuk councillor Fiona Corps says she understands the traders’ concerns, particularly after covid. However, she says it is vital to promote a “business as usual” message to keep tourists coming.

Optimus Trustee Limited is embroiled in a landmark court case after the Scottish Government ordered it to sell Greyfriar’s Garden to a community group. It was the first successful application under a new section of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act, but has since been appealed and a ruling is pending.

A groundbreaking mental health ambulance trialled in Fife saved 400 hours of police time in its first nine months. The fully-equipped triage car staffed by a paramedic and a mental health nurse launched in Levenmouth last June. And it was so successful, it extended to Kirkcaldy in September. It will now continue for at least another three months and could eventually become a long-term project across Fife.
