Fife Coast

A lovely weekend away down on the Fife Coast. Two brilliant walks, the first at 'Tentsmuir Point' and 'Kinshaldy Beach' then on to the 'St Andrews Coast'

Until it was drained and planted by the Forestry Commission in the 1920's, Tentsmuir was a remote area of desolate salt-marsh, known only to smugglers and fishermen. For thousands of years the sands carried down by the River Tay have been deposited at its mouth, building the shore slowly eastwards in a process of natural land reclamation.

 Kinshaldy Beach

 Winston, with more space than he knows what to do with!

 Tall bench or short legs!?

 Just the 3 of us

 Yep

 The remote beaches of Tentsmuir were considered to be a possible landing point for German invasion during World War II, so a series of lookout towers and anti-tank defences were built.

 19th century ice house, where ice was stored during the summer months for use by salmon fishermen netting fishing the waters off the near by beach.

 'The March Stone' The stone was erected as a boundary marker for fishing rights in 1794. The term 'March Stone' comes from the 16th century meaning 'March' as a boundary. 

 Happy little chappy
