Fife - 1967. 16mm B&W movie PT2

Found this 16mm film reel at a car boot sale.
There's 2 parts to this film, think it runs for around 11 mins...

As far as I can tell it features...Lochgelly, Burntisland, Dunfermline, Cardenden maybe?
Some great footage of a coalmine and workers..
If anybody recognises any places please let me know!

Which car boot sale did you pick this up from? I'd be really curious to know. Cheers!

@anneholiday it was the greenside one in edinburgh

Starts in North Queensferry and then goes through Crossgates to Hill of Beath (White Elephant pub) followed by extensive look at Cowdenbeath High Street (Picture House, Town House, Central Park) a quick scan of flats in Lochgelly and then on to Cardenden finishing in Ballingry (I think)

you can see divitos in crossgates on the left very clearly but i cant see in the clip any evidence of my great grandfathers business ( crossgates fruit and potatoe merchants ) was very interested to find this on here though

About 1 minute 1 it's through Crossgates, then direction Cowdenbeath. The wee white buildigs were pig-pens IIRC Down into Cowdenbeath, The Miners' Training School on the left and the Institute on the right, Leaving the town,from 4 minutes on looks like from Lumphinnans Road towards Lochgelly.

@5.20 is that the new school in Lochgelly?
