DURA DEN
centred on NO 5150 1450, Ceres Burn
Picturesque little Ceres Burn drove Blebo mills (two flax spinning mills, one from 1803, and a barley mill),Yoolfield and Pitscottie flax mills, Kemback saw and Dairsie corn mill. Blebo Spinning Co and W W Yool & Co were still spinning flax in 1937, the last to do so in Fife, but now are silent and either fragmentary or converted into houses.
