Extract from the Dundee Courier
"SECRETS OF THE ROUTE ACROSS FROZEN LOCH LEVEN"
Sir,- There has been a good deal about Loch Leven in "The Courier" in recent weeks; some of your readers may find the following story of interest.

I was a general practioner in Kirkcaldy for over 35 years. About 30 years ago I had as a patient an old man in his 80s, Charles Wilkie, who lived in the Raith Estate.

He had been a farm worker for most of his life and told this story about his first job.

Having left school (at the age of 12) he was working on a farm on the north side of Loch Leven.

One winter's morning, when the loch was frozen hard, he was told by the grieve to get his horse out and harnessed to the cart; the man did the same, and they then put four sheep into each cart. he was then told to follow closely and do exactly as the older man did.

Much to his surprise and alarm they drove down to the edge of the loch and struck out across the ice!

He was not at all happy about his. In fact he "took a good grip" on the two nearest sheep so that they would keep him up if the cart went down! However, after one or two slight changes of direction they arrived safely on the priory island and later repeated the trip to fetch more sheep.

It was only later that he was told that there was, in fact, little danger; the grieve steering by chruch towers and other landmarks in Kinross, across the loch, was following the line of an old causeway out to the island, presumably made by the monks, and had the horse and cart gone through the ice the horse's head and the body of the cart would still have been above water (though a rescue might have presented problems).

The instructions regarding the route had been carefully handed down in that farm (presumably Portmoak or Grahamstone), which had the right to put sheep on the island.

This incident probably happened just over 100 years ago. I believe the level of the loch was changed at the end of last century, when the dam and sluices were built, and the "new Cut" to Auchmuir Bridge made to drain the marshland East of the loch; so perhaps the causeway is now much deeper under water.
