From the Wikipedia article
The Methil Docks are situated in Methil, Fife, Scotland, on the northern shores of the Firth of Forth. Historically, the docks served as a port for the transport of coal cargoes. However, since the decline of the mining industry of Fife, the port now specialises as a wood pulp and timber distribution centre.

Background
History
No. 1 dock was built by Cunningham, Blythe and Westland and completed May 1887. No.2 dock was completed in January 1900 No.3 dock closed in 1977. Plans in the early 2000s to convert the area into a network of restaurants and social space fell through due to a lack of funds. The project, provisionally named Methil Ramblas, would have included al fresco dining, cafes, and open-air fitness sessions.
