The Gellet Society

A Local History and Heritage Group for Charlestown, Limekilns & Surrounding Area.

About Us:

The Gelllet Society was formed in October 1990 to allow residents of the local community (Charlestown & Limekilns), with an interest in local history and heritage, to meet on a monthly basis. The Society organises a speaker for each meeting and takes an active role in archiving information such as old photographs of the area and anything to do with the industrial heritage of the villages. The Society's focus is on the history and heritage of Charlestown, Limekilns and the district lying south and west of Dunfermline.

Next Meeting Thursday 12th September 2013:

This talk will cover:
The reasons for the new crossing.
