The Yacht Calypso Leaving Harbour

The yacht Calypso leaving Dysart Harbour before a yacht-race was due to begin. The steps in the background go to the 'Sailors' Walk' along the cliff-top. This walk leads to Ravenscraig Park and gives great views across Dysart Harbour and out to to Edinburgh. Dysart Harbour was originally a quarry and the ashlar sandstone quarried from there was used by French stone-masons to build the neighbouring royal castle. Ravenscraig Castle was built in the early 1400's by King James II of Scotland, as a wee hoosie for his new bride Mary of Gueldres (Flanders).
