Dinosaur fans, here’s one for you! The Dinosaur Mural in Buckhaven features flying flying pteradons triceratops and a mesozoic/jurassic landscape with a scary T-rex.
The site looks out over the Forth `ring of fire’ - the circle of extinct volcanoes - the Bass Rock, Berwick Law, Arthurs Seat, Largo Law are clearly visible so the landscape in earlier times can be easily imagined.
Located beside an attractive sandstone cliff-face, the two concrete walls where the mural is painted are all that remains of flats built in the late 1960s after Buckhaven’s picturesque but decaying fishing quarter was bulldozed. The harbour was once Scotland’s second largest.
The Fife Coastal Path runs close to the mural and it’s well worth a stop.
The mural is the work of artist Ian Tayac - known professionally as Paco Graff.
The mural is located close to the shore in Buckhaven on Shore Street/Anderson lane.
