What is "binnend"

Binnend is an abandoned industrial village near Burntisland in Fife. It was established in the early 1880s to house workers at the nearby shale oil extraction works. Production was short-lived, however, and the mines closed in 1894. In 1891, the population was about 760 but it declined quickly; many people had left by the time that the mines closed, but the last inhabitant, George Hood, remained until 1954. The land had been sold to the Whinnyhall Estate.
