This was "...recorded one cold Easter when it snowed and sleeted as I painted...(it) must have been a very welcome pub for the host of thirsty shipbuilders going home after slogging it out for hours in the yard at Burntisland." (Tom Gourdie, The Scots Magazine, January 1974)
The Green Tree Pub (centre left with turret) was at the corner of High Street and Harbour Place. In April 1950 it was owned by Ann McCall. It closed some years ago and was converted into flats.
