Dysart

Dysart, a seaport in Fifeshire, on the N. coast of the Firth of Forth, 13 miles N.E. of Edinburgh. In the fifteenth century there were salt works here, and some coal was worked in the sixteenth century. There is a flax factory here, and a harbour, and a space in the centre contains an old town hall. The old castle of Ravenscraig in the neighbourhood is utilised by Scott.
