Windmill
Location: Coastal Path, St Monans, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland.
St Monans Windmill is a tangible reminder of an industry that blighted the environment of coastal communities right along the shores of the Firth of Forth: salt production. The role of the windmill was to provide the power to pump sea water from tidal-fed reservoirs, cut into the rocks offshore, into salt pans.
