Dura Den
Dura Den is a small, 3 km-long wooded picturesque gorge that is located near Cupar in northeastern Fife, Scotland. This narrow cleft follows a course between the villages of Kemback to the north and Pitscottie to the south. A small stream named the Ceres (or Kame) Burn follows the course of this gorge, and this flow includes small waterfalls near the midpoint. Historically the Ceres Burn was used to power jute spinning mills
Around 1859 the geologist and Newburgh minister John Anderson discovered what turned out to be extensive sandstone deposits of ganoid fossilized fish in this area.
The Dura Den Wood is being managed by the Woodland Trust, and occupies an area of 4.25 acres (17,200 m2). The woods include ash, oak, and hazel.
