It has always been a difficult place to reach and this was especially so before the opening of the Forth and Tay road bridges. While historically most bus services were provided by W. Alexander & Sons after they acquired many small businesses from the 1920s onwards, independents survived by working mainly school and miners contracts. However, de-regulation in the 1980s allowed a few to register stage services. Well-known names have included Rennies, Moffats, Williamsons, Allisons and, more recently, Bay Travel.\n\nIn Fife Independents, David Devoy draws on his wonderful collection of photographs from across the decade.
