Please visit Aberdour Silver Sands today for the finale of our Shifting Baselines sessions. Shifting Baselines has been asking those of you who live in coastal towns about your connection to water. It has delved into the past, considered the present and looked into the future.
This has all involved the work of an artist and a storyteller, who helped facilitate and encourage people to share their thoughts and feelings. An art piece created by the artist is on display today. And your ideas are welcome! Please look for the FCCT gazebo and our team from 11am.
If you`re wondering what `Shifting Baselines` actually means, it`s a term used in the conservation and ecology world to describe each new generation accepting the current state (of environmental degradation) as the norm. Therefore, baselines shift.

📌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.
