Situated along the Fife Coastal Path between St Monans and Pittenweem, this historic landmark preserves the remnants of an 18th-century salt production site alongside its prominent restored windmill. Operating between 1771 and the 1820s, the works eventually closed when imports of cheaper English rock salt undercut the local trade. Today, an easy walk from St Monans leads visitors to the old salt pan outlines, scenic viewpoints, and detailed information boards detailing the area's industrial heritage.
