Preston Island (Fife)
Preston Island is a former artificial island in the Firth of Forth, Scotland. The reclaimed land was once used for salt production, using local coal. It is part of Fife.
==History==
Preston Island, south of Low Valleyfield in the Firth of Forth, was reclaimed by Sir Robert Preston in the early 19th century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Nature reserve on island )〕 He established a coal mine, producing coal for the production of salt in saltpans on the island.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Preston Island )〕 The mine was closed following a fatal firedamp explosion in 1811.〔 The buildings later housed an illicit distillery.〔 Several well-maintained ruins remain.
The 'island' is no longer surrounded by water, following further land reclamation, using ash from the nearby Longannet power station.〔
