Kinnesswood Main Street

Kinnesswood (possibly from the Scottish Gaelic: ceann eas ciad, head of the waterfall of the wood, and locally pronounced Kinascut)^[1] is a village in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It lies to the east of Loch Leven, on the A911 road, below Bishop Hill in the Lomond Hills. It is approximately 4 miles west of Glenrothes and 4 miles east of Kinross.^[2]

Is this disused 'phone box Britain's smallest public library?

It was the birthplace in 1746 of the poet Michael Bruce who was born into a weaver's family and is remembered for his nature poetry in poems such as 'Ode To The Cuckoo' which Edmund Burke described as “the most beautiful lyric in our language.”,^[3] Bruce died from consumption at the early age of 21.
