Hi William,

Hi Shaggy

Dunfermline Carnegie Library has a few pictures of Donibristle Village in it's Local History Department collection. You can usually purchase prints although I notice some are marked "copyright of Mr. George Hastie" so may be restricted but it would be worth enquiring. I have always found the staff in the Department very helpful. Contact details  below :-
Address: Carnegie Library , 1 Abbot Street, Dunfermline, KY12 7NL

Hello graeme121

I have just checked the list of names which I have for the photo. As far as I can tell the photo dtaes from 1916 or there about. There is no William Seath listed, but there is someone called Alex Seith (the names were given to me verbally by my father, so spellings are not necessarily correct).

Thanks for the reply William, I'm almost certain that will be William Seath's Uncle, Alexander who was born around 1904.

I'm not sure how much info you already have but ther national library for Scotland has some excellent maps which might be of use... Donibristle is on this one...

I have a photograph of the village school and of Ivy Cottage. My wife's grandfather Jim Skinner lived in Ivy Cottage which is up the farm road on the other side of the B925. If you use Google Street View you can see that the school has been converted into private house(s) and the bell towers have been removed. I'll see if I can post the photographs or create a link to them.
