The village owes its origins to the Wemyss Estates based at Wemyss Castle, just to the east of the village. The Wemyss family have lived in the castle ever since it was first built in the twelfth century. The early origins of West Wemyss lay in its harbour and in industrial development. Coal was mined in the area from the 1430s, and by the 1560s at least one pit was working out under the River Forth. Scotland's first glassworks was also set up near here in 1600. It is said that the village acquired a tolbooth as early as 1511, but most of the building you see today was erected by David, 3rd Earl of Wemyss, in the early 1700s. This served as a meeting place, and also housed cells for miscreants. The word Wemyss means cave,and there are a series of sandstone caves around the area which are steeped in history. There is a cafe, heritage centre and community pub in the village, which open generally speaking from Thursday to Sunday. A Beautiful stretch of coast with a family of seals nearby and woodland full of deer, surround West Wemyss. Closest train station is Kirkcaldy.
