Cameron Bridge
Cameron Bridge is a village in the conurbation of Levenmouth in Fife, Scotland. It is near to the village of Windygates and 2 miles (3 km) west of the town of Leven. A distillery was established in the 19th century by the Haig family, which is now part of Diageo.[1] The distillery produces Scotch whisky.
History and locality
[edit | edit source]It is a settlement at a bridge over the River Leven, which replaced a ford there. When Leven was flooded it was the first upstream crossing. In 1870, an earlier bridge was replaced with a new one.[1] The River Ore joins the Leven a little upstream of the village.
