St Ninians Quarry - AKA "The Walnut Whip" near Kelty, Fife

St. Ninians Quarry AKA "The Walnut Whip" near Kelty, Fife by DJI Mini 4 Pro drone.
The half-finished remains of what would have been Scotland’s biggest piece of landscape art.
Originally a deep coal mine, then a vast opencast mine until closure in 2013. There were plans to transform the site into a massive artwork by renowned landform artist Charles Jencks; partly realised but abandoned before completion.
The scale of what was planned becomes immediately apparent as you scale the hill and peer down into the yawning chasm in the landscape. The 930-acre site is roughly the size of more than 700 football pitches, making it far and away the largest piece of artwork in Scotland.
This mine, St. Ninians, was operating right into the 21st century and swallowed up the remains of the village of Lassodie. A young Sean Connery was said to be a regular visitor to the village after his grandparents retired there in the early 1930s.
