This heavily overgrown tunnel carries the Mill Lade under the A911 Glenrothes to Leven road. The Mill Lade was originally the water source for several mills along its length but it is now long-disused and broken up into several sections. Note: 'Mill Lade' (or 'Mill Leat') was the term given to the water source used to power a watermill. They were a man-made channel taking water from a suitable river.
