[3] Nearly 1 mile (1.6 km) to the south, beyond Shiresmill, and to the west of the Bluther Burn, stands the 17th-century laird's house of Blairhall, which was the birthplace (c.1630) of Sir William Bruce, later baronet of Balcaskie and then Kinross, and Surveyor-General to King Charles II.

[4] In 2008, a further expansion of the village took place to the northwest, in an area called the Coo Park which was formerly the grounds of Comrie Castle.

The number 4 starts and terminates in the village on Houldsworth Street and usually operates half-hourly to Dunfermline bus station, except in the evenings and on Sundays.

[7] The number 28 runs every three to four hours westbound to Falkirk or Alloa and eastbound to Dunfermline and Queen Margaret Hospital.

[12] In the 1870s the Carron Company began producing blackband ironstone at Blairhall Colliery, located to the south of where the village is today.

In 1952 the National Coal Board began reconstruction of the colliery, aiming to increase daily production to 1,500 tons.
