A notorious quarry in Inverkeithing has been put up for sale just days after plans for housing on the site failed. Councillors refused an application for a multi-million-pound residential development at Presonhill Quarry for a second time in May. Developers claimed the proposal would increase safety at the site by filling in the deepwater pond. Three people, including two teenagers, have died while swimming or diving at the quarry since 2014.
