| Clues to its location from newspaper reports of competitions: located at Inverdovat 'on ground commanding a wide prospect' and 'The ground at Inverdorvat, about one mile from Newport, is nicely situated, and commands a beautiful view of the surrounding country and the estuary of the Tay.' But the Fife Herald 13 Oct 1886 gives the full picture: 'between Inverdovat Farmhouse and The Cliff [now Chesterhill], bounded by Casewayhead Hill and the Tayport Road. With a little clearance, Causewayhead Hill might be added to the course. [It has] a fine view from Buddon Ness to Fife Ness …', from the British Newspaper Archive. | Newport Golf Course | Location |

In between was the smallest shelter, right on the beach, no slipway, used as a bathing shelter. This is shown on the 1914 map close to the large boat house, but on the 1895 map it is shown midway between the two locations with slipways. | Bathing Shelter, Tay Street | Location |

| Developed by the proprietor of the Newport Inn in the 1850s, the green sat alongside a garden, and a quoiting ground (1861), on ground tenanted by the Inn. Interest appears to have waned in the 1860s and eventually the Newport Bowling Club was formed to play on a green, not here but at Seacraig in 1869. Photo shows the green, complete with flagpole, in early 1878. Site now occupied by St Mary's Church. | Bowling Green, High Street | Location |
