Glencraig
Glencraig is a very small former mining village in Scotland, situated in the Benarty area of Fife, between Crosshill and Lochgelly. The village's population has decreased significantly since the decline of the coal-mining industry during the 1970s and 1980s.[1]
There are two memorial notice boards in the vicinity of the village. One is dedicated to the colliery and the other to the village.
