About Buckhaven’s Hidden Harbour

Buckhaven’s Hidden Harbour was created by local P6 school children. Scottish Fisheries Museum staff supported pupils at Mountfleurie Primary School in Leven to curate an exhibition about their local history as part of a pilot project organized by Museum Galleries Scotland.

The exhibition explores the history of Buckhaven Harbour which was built in 1838. The harbour was in use until a storm in 1937 which severely damaged the harbour wall. At this point it was left to the mercy of the waves and eventually crumbled away into the sea. The exhibition is in the pupils’ own words, highlights the stories they found interesting and features the objects they chose to display.

Mountfleurie pupils took on different heritage roles to create the exhibition, from researchers and writers, to curators, designers, and education officers. They had fun visiting the museum, learning more about their local fishing heritage and getting hands on with museum objects.

The pupils’ work was part of a Scotland-wide project ‘Workforce for the Future’ funded by Art Fund and organised by Museum Galleries Scotland. The project supported collaboration between Museums, Schools and Developing the Young Workforce (DYW).
