	Methil on a small group tour of Scotland
		It was at this time that the first dock was built at Methil and many of the local pits were sunk, most notably the Wellesley, which stood on the site of the present oilrig construction yard.
		This, added to the speed at which the town grew and the presence of the docks inevitably led to conflict (usually on a Saturday night) and Methil gained an unenviable reputation as rough place, full of fighting miners and drunken sailors and with a prostitution problem which rivaled the bigger ports of Dundee and Leith.
		Periods of housing development during the end of the last century, the 1920s and again in the 1950s caused many of these villages to swell and merge into each other until today it is difficult to say where one town stops and the other begins.

	Continuation of the Earl of Wemyss Line
		Methil was still at this time in the possession of Mariota Towers as her liferent portion; so in warrandice thereof David wemyss granted to his son and future daughter-in-law the lands of Tillybreak, Little Lun, and Cameron-mill.

		The visit was the commencement of a frindship between the Archbishop and the Earl which resulted in the erection of Methil into a free burgh of barony, the buildong of a harbour at Methil, the creation of fairs, and the introduction of many changes on the Wemyss lands.

	History of Methil - Lower Methil Through the Years
