A quiet village nestled south of the A907, Blairhall was once a thriving mining community with the colliery located to the south of the village and Comrie Colliery around two miles to the north. Blairhall forms part of the Scottish county of Fife.

History

In 1883, the Coltness Company acquired the lease of minerals in Blairhall and worked the ironstone and upper coal seams for the next 25 years. By 1906, work started on sinking two deep shafts, both named after the son and daughter of the Earl of Elgin, the Lord Bruce and the Lady Veronica, to work the lower measures. The company had to transfer men from Lanarkshire to town and provide housing for them to meet the requirements of the new pit.

Blairhall Village, located on the Comrie Castle Estate, which was comprised of two rows of houses was extended and the population increased to more than 1000. Evidence still exists of the former estate parkland. Today, the Fife Council Local Office and Community Centre provides residents with access to all local authority services.
