    I love Charelstown the Royal Navy used that area in the inner Fourth as a Armament base in the 1st World war,and the 2nd calling it Rnad Crombie Kinny Braes beautiful part of Fife thats a wonderful stop for tourists looking for history with Culross being nearby. Your finds are brilliant as is the music. I love how you tell parts of the history of the area your in. You both make a fantastic video's for us too enjoy. Much love to you both Alex ❤ 💛 p.s jewellery show is amazing congratulations 🎊 too you both ❤ 👏 💖 💙

      Its such a lovely, quiet spot, especially down by the harbour! SO many lovely spots along of this part of the coast. Culross is amazing - we'll have to get out there when its quieter - it really is like walking into the past going up those streets!
      I did not know it was an armament base - though it should have occurred to me because the Forth was so logistically important! Thank you! That's great to know!
      So very glad you enjoy what we are doing with the format - it just seemed to make sense and we were packing a bit much in our Friday videos... We hope to have a wee look around a few places when we can too! :D
      Thank you so much for such amazing encouragement and support - you're a gem! :D Much love to you and yours, best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo

    I love the new format! Your finds today were incredible, and I’ll have to say the red/amberina piece was my favorite. As always, your historical background was fascinating, Craig, and your shots of the sea were so lovely and peaceful.
    I also want to share a huge thank you for the Codd marble pendant which I ordered through your Etsy shop. It is stunning! It absolutely glows from within! And the surprise of having a little bag of Scottish seaglass included, so smooth and perfect, was delightful! I’m so excited to have a wee bit of the Scottish shore to wear and admire!
    Thanks again for all! Take care! Can’t wait to see you both on Sunday’s video! ❤️🙏

    I love the history Craig. In the Industrial Age the lime kilns were a hot place to work for the fire men. They had to keep that fire going and keep adding coal to keep the heat regular at least 13-1500 degrees. With a small earning of one or two p. During the 1st war farmers were told to expand their crops and because of the mass slaughter of farm animals at the time farmers were told to fertilize land with the lime made in the kilns. No more animal waste the soil was depleted. Was just watching this on absolute history WarTime Farm. Great program.
    Really like the mystery dark glass find you can see red through it but just barely.
    See you Sunday! Cheers from Canada!

    • @scottishmudlarking
      @scottishmudlarking  3 года назад +1

      So glad you enjoyed t, and many thanks for the heads up - I knew lime was used agriculturally, and about the agricultural expansion because trade routes were blocked etc, but not that connection! That's so interesting, thank you!
      The kilns reminded me of the old salt pans we looked at and St Monan's last year - that was another job that involved working in ridiculously hot and unbelievable conditions!
      Thank you so much! See you on Sunday! Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo

      @@scottishmudlarking awesome! The farmers worked hard in those times and was gruelling work. When the lime was cooked down it would be barrelled and once barrelled would last forever. So they say. When you added water to the lime rock it would heat up and you needed to be well covered up so it wouldn’t burn you. This was also used used for lime plaster and lime wash for disinfecting. It’s amazing how much you can learn from the past. Thanks for the reply!

    So, I'm very curious what Nicole will make of them.
    It always makes me laugh that Craig never wears the right shoes for the occasion. Maybe you have start to wear wellies when you're mudlarking. 😂

    You know, the round, maybe bakelite 'donut' immediately made me think of the surround for those flicky light switches (you know the ones which had a metal elongated switch that stood proud of the surround and went up and down?) that my nan had in her house. I also absolutely loved that heart-shaped piece of multicoloured stone/glass (?). What happened to the odd finger-shaped piece you found and didn't know what it was? I did wonder if it was anything to do with the kilns.

    • @scottishmudlarking
      @scottishmudlarking  3 года назад

      That is a very good call! It could be a light switch surround! I remember them well - my old school had those switches... So did my paternal grandmother's house! They looked so cool!
      You're right, we managed to leave that piece out of the roundup, though I am sure we took it back... That's a good idea... I'll see if I can dig it out and we might try to take a look at it and residue/deposits from lime manufacturing - many thanks!

      Thanks so much Tracey! Flash Glass is glass that has two layers - this one is pink and a rare opalescent on the other layer. Pink flash glass is usually clear and pink - the colours are bonded together and give the piece depth. It was used in the 1930s as art glass, mainly vases and little trinket dishes :) I am happy now that I also have a LOGO t shirt in red! xo
