In 2008 workmen removed a controversial art work at Dysart which had cost Fife Council £19,000 to install just a month earlier.

Residents were outraged upon the completion of the installation, a giant, white plywood box, which they claimed blocked their otherwise unspoilt views of the Forth.

After a flood of complaint the local authority admitted that the structure, which became known as the ‘white box’, had been installed without a public consultation and posed a health and safety risk to the community.
