The Fife Coastal Path

The Fife Coastal Path runs from North Queensferry in the south to Tayport in the north. We have fairly regularly done sections either side of Burntisland to Aberdour and Kinghorn but have always intented to completed the entire 80 miles.

Here are some photographs of our walk from South Queensferry, across the Forth Road Bridge, as far as Aberdour.

For those of you who don't know, John & I have a bit of a penchant for modernist houses.  I see this one regularly from the train on my commute to work so couldn't resist taking a picture.

The Forth Bridge is so big that as soon as maintenance crews have finished painting it ,its time to start again. Thus, any task which can never be completed is said to be 'like painting the Forth Bridge'. No more - the bridge has recently had its famous red paint replaced with an epoxy resin expected to last 20-30 years.

For some reason I had a bit of a thing for photographing jettys, no explanation.

Neil and Clair's first visit to Burntisland

These pictures are from the coastal path between  Burntisland and Aberdour. You will see in future posts that John & ! have now walked the section from South Queensferry to Aberdour.

A new beach.

Tentsmuir beach near St Andrews is great.  Similar to those we used to frequent in East Lothian but much busier.  For beach fans out there check out www.beachtomato.com

The only place I have seen cows on the beach.

Yorkshire Sculpture Park

On the way to the south coast we stopped off for a couple of days in Barnsley. I was working in Leeds but John visited the Sculpture Park with his Mum & Dad. I was very jealous when I saw these photos of the Jaume Plensa exhibition.

If you fancy visiting this exhibit is on until 22nd January 2012.
