📌Craigmead Toilets Temporary Closure 📌
Due to the rural location in the Lomond Hills Regional Park, these public toilets do not have access to conventional utility services. They rely on a gravity-fed pumping system to supply water to the building.
Over recent years, the natural water source has experienced significantly reduced flows, adversely affecting the pumping system’s performance. This issue has been further exacerbated by the accumulation of sediment within the water supply network.
Despite extensive efforts to rectify the problem, we have been unable to restore a reliable water supply. Regrettably, the toilet facilities will remain closed for the remainder of the 2026 season.
Visitors are encouraged to use the following alternative daytime public toilet facilities:
Falkland Public Toilets, Back Wynd, Car Park, KY15 7BG
https://w3w.co/briefing.explained.lyricism
East Lomond Toilets, Purin Hill, KY15 7BD
https://w3w.co/strictest.stumble.bright
We are working with Fife Council to install an upgraded water supply system, incorporating a solar-powered pumping solution and more reliable pumping infrastructure. While this will provide a more sustainable and resilient long-term solution, the installation and commissioning process will take time to complete.
We apologise for any inconvenience this temporary closure may cause and greatly appreciate your patience and understanding while we undertake these essential improvement works.

🐿️The latest instalment of Branching Out is now well underway and our Education Officer, Rich, offers this update:
We have been blessed with the weather since it began allowing us to spend time both at our base in the woods, and down on Leven beach. The group have been getting to grip with Kelly Kettles to make their brews. We welcomed Kiri the Woodswoman for a two-week long spoon carving workshop, got arty on the beach with a self-portrait competition, and this week-built bird boxes.
There has been time to stop and pause during our Shinrin Yoku Forest Bathing exercise, and we loved dipping our toes in the cool water of the Firth of Forth. Fingers crossed this beautiful sunny weather continues as we head into the next few weeks of the programme.
