In early 2004, pupils from Newburgh Primary School planted eighty-four trees to create a new community orchard with support from members of the Newburgh Orchard Group.

The new orchard includes six different types of eating and cooking apples, for example ‘Charles Ross’, ‘James Grieve’ and ‘Bramley Seedling’. It also contains varieties of pear, plum, damson, cherry and medlar. Some of the trees  are unusual varieties but all are known to thrive in the area and are now part of a new generation of orchard planting.

The site is owned by Fife Council and the Fire Station  granted consent to plant the orchard on ground under its management. Fife Council’s Development Services helped by providing trees and assistance

Seats of rustic design have created by two students from Elmwood College; both are residents of Newburgh.
