Knockhill racing circuit
KNOCKHILL RACING CIRCUIT: Mostly used by visiting helicopters
Note: These three pictures were obtained from Google Earth ©
Location: Just W of the A823, about 4.5nm NNW of Dunfermline town centre
Period of operation: Possibly since the 1970s?
NOTES: We have Mr Graham Frost, a great friend of this 'Guide', to thank for drawing our attention to this location.
Although it appears regularly used by visiting helicopters, and listed in at least a couple of helicopter guides, the only evidence of a marked helipad was around 2006. See picture above.
However, Graham has also found a record of a Katana landing here, on the main straight, involving going under the bridge when landing, and presumably taking off (?), to promote a joint gift voucher scheme.
As always in this 'Guide', if anybody can kindly offer advice and information this will be most welcome. Plus of course, pictures are always much appreciated.
We'd love to hear from you, so please scroll down to leave a comment!
