A historic cart, which was first built in 1914, has been restored to take its place on a Fife village green to enhance and beautify the local area.

Falkland Gardening Group have completed the massive task of renovating the cart, which now sits on Brunton Green in Falkland.

The cart has now been planted with a number of beautiful perennials with a theme of white, silver and blue.

The work was expertly carried out by Bryan Leach, a member and Trustee of Falkland Gardening Group, a local charity that enhances the visual appearance of Falkland by planting a number of troughs and beds in Falkland as well as providing space for 14 allotments in the heart of the village.

Other organisations who helped in the project were Lindores’ Scottish Sawmilling Services, and The Smithy at Dunsheld, enabling the group to complete the project with locally sourced wood and metal supports.
