Todays 7 mile walk covered some of the best bits of the Fife Coastal path... and some of the worst.
Things started off brightly enough at East Wemyss with our poking our heads briefly into the Wemyss Caves. These have the oldest examples of art found to date in Scotland. We didn't see any of these Pictish masterpieces, but hey it was dark.
After that we followed the coast to Macduff Castle, where we had a short sojourn. After which, it was "Onwards Macduff" to Deliverance country.
A recent development on the shore, forces you inland through Buckhaven and Methil. With inbred looking foul mouthed brats hanging around the blighted streets, the only thing missing was someone on a wall playing "The Duelling Banjos". If they ever film a post apocalyptic film and need a location, complete with mutants, they could save money shooting it here.
Leven to Lower Largo in contrast was superb with a couple of miles of beach walking providing a good antidote to the dead zone of the previous 2 miles. Walking miles of empty beach you almost fealt like Robinson Crusoe on his desert island, or like the real life inspiration for the character Alexnder Selkirk who coincidentally (not) came from our final destination for the day, Lower Largo.
