Local police officers have this evening (Sunday) launched an appeal for information after an incident last month.

It is claimed the offence took place between April 13 and April 18.

Posting on the South West Fife Police Twitter account, they stated: "Between 13/04 and 18/04, a wall in the area of Blair Castle, Culross, has been sprayed with graffiti.

"If anyone has any information that could assist with our enquiries then please contact 101 with reference 2869 of 19/04 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. Thanks."

What and where is Blair Castle?

Blair Castle is a category ‘A’ listed building situated on the outskirts of Culross.

The estate was bought by the Fife Coal Company during the First World War to acquire the mineral rights.

In 1927, the house and 28 acres of ground were gifted to the Fife, Kinross & Clackmannan Welfare Committee for the use as a convalescent home.

The home was named The Charles Carlow Miners’ Convalescent Home after the former managing director of the Fife Coal Company.

The home initially took 16 men but with the extension of the west wing in the 1950s, the capacity was increased to around 70.

As the mining industry declined, other homes in the surroundings areas began to close and the Carlow Home became available to miners and their families from all over Scotland.
