The area around Methil.
Methil was once one of Scotland's busiest coal ports, and it now makes up the Levenmouth area with Leven and Buckhaven on the Fife coast. The old docks have been turned into an energy park, and the reopened railway to Edinburgh is starting to shift how people see the place. Housing is largely former council and older terraces, and customers weigh cost carefully, so a trade that states clear prices and covers the whole of Levenmouth rather than one town gives itself the widest reach.
Glenrothes (6 miles), Kirkcaldy (8 miles), Cupar (9 miles) and Cowdenbeath (13 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. A longer drive takes in North Berwick (15 miles), Musselburgh (17 miles) and Edinburgh (17 miles). Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
Within Methil itself, we build for businesses in Leven, Buckhaven, Methilhill, Kennoway, Windygates and East Wemyss.
From our base in Exeter, Methil is about 378 miles to the north. Its postcodes start KY.
