At 2pm on the 24th June 2000 a group gathered at the car park overlooking Pathhead Sands. Mrs. Watters gave a speech and then asked Mr. Lauchlan to unveil the bench plaque. Mr. Somerville gave the vote of thanks and the group headed off to East Wemyss to view the unveiling of another bench, gifted to the village by the Save the Wemyss Ancient Caves Society.
Mr. Patrick Lauchlan,
Chief Executive of the

Gifting a bench to the town is
one of the ways in which KCS is marking the Millennium. Close
to the bench is a KCS plaque (erected 1985) marking the area where Michael
Nairn's floorcloth factory once stood. The factory was called "Nairn's
Folly" by locals.
