Three community projects in Levenmouth are set to benefit from almost £390,000 in new investment through a programme linked to the return of the area's railway.

The programme was established to maximise the wider benefits of the Levenmouth Rail Link and support community growth and development across the area.
The three successful projects are the refurbishment of the Autism Rocks Community Centre, improvements to Buckhaven Play Park and the restoration of Lower Largo Pier.
The Autism Rocks Community Centre will receive £143,860 towards refurbishment work.
The project involves upgrading the former Buckhaven and Wemyss Parish Church to create an improved community hub for autistic people and their families.
The group has recently taken full ownership of the building after occupying it for 10 years.
Buckhaven Play Park will receive £95,250 for improvements designed to create a fully inclusive play space for children of all abilities.
The project is being led by Buckhaven and Denbeath Community Council and aims to provide a safe and accessible environment where children can play and explore together.
Lower Largo Pier will receive an initial £150,000 towards its restoration.
The funding will allow the Largo Harbour Regeneration Group to begin detailed design work and site investigations as it develops plans to restore the harbour and pier.
The proposed redevelopment is intended to rebuild and improve the structure while also helping protect the village from the effects of climate change and rising sea levels.
The initial funding will allow the group to progress with the project, with up to £500,000 potentially available in future depending on conditions and further review and approval.
The Levenmouth Reconnected Programme has a total fund of £10 million, established by the Scottish Government and Fife Council to support community growth and development connected to the return of the railway.
