Weymss castle is in Fife near the town of Coaltown of Weymss and is still lived in by the Weymss family. This was taken from the coastal path between West Weymss and East Weymss
The Fife Coastal Path runs from the Forth Estuary in the south, to the Tay Estuary in the north and stretches for 117 miles. The path is clearly waymarked and offers a range of walking experiences from the easy and level, to the wild and demanding. Whether done in bite sized chunks or as a long distance route there is definitely something for everyone.
An archive shot from December 2012. The cormorant at the end of the pier was just about to launch itself over the water. This was the most vivid sunset we have had on the Fife coast within the last seven years.
Sunrise at Lady's Tower.
Glorious morning at Elie in the East Neuk of Fife in Scotland. Waves of mist and sea fog kept on rolling through. Clear one minute, haze the next before thick fog would surround you for a minute or two,
Lady's Tower or Lady Janet Anstruther's Tower to give it it's sunday name was rumoured to be built to allow her to get changed before she went swimming.
A view of a fabulous sunset a couple of nights ago, with an old lobsterboat in the foreground. This was taken with a non-SLR camera, an Olympus mju800.

...St Bridget's Kirk near Dalgety Bay, Fife, Scotland on a rainy, dismal summer's day- in fact very typical weather for summer 2009

There was another beautiful sunrise a few mornings ago. Because I was shooting it through glass it produced a nice halo effect.
A view from the Fife Coastal Path, looking west towards Kincraig Point and Largo Bay in the distance.
Sunrise can be such a magical time, the world waking up, many people still in bed.
This fishing boat is returning on the high tide after a hard nights work.
On the first day of meteorological Spring, Class 800 bimode, unit 800106, was seen passing the beach and links at Burntisland while operating 1E15 0952 hrs Aberdeen to London King’s Cross. The waters of the Firth of Forth are lapping the shoreline as the train approaches the town’s station (not one of its calling points) on its way to the Forth Bridge, Edinburgh and the East Coast Main Line to the south. Burntisland was the southern terminus of the Edinburgh and Northern Railway across Fife from 1847 until 1890 when the connecting route (just under 9 miles) was completed in conjunction with the opening of the Forth Bridge that year. Before 1890, passengers crossed the firth on a paddle steamer to Granton (Edinburgh), while freight wagons used the pioneering train ferry, commemorated by two plaques at Burntisland station.
The weather phenomenon that caused these clouds to be quite so dramatic during this particular morning is the jet stream. The jet stream normally runs over the UK much further south at this time of year and keeps the country covered in cold air. For a few days the jet stream moved north and the air was warmed from the south creating high pressure and cleared skies all the way over the horizon. Not something we see all that often in this part of the world.
I’ve called this image Trade Winds not because these are an effect of the trade winds, which are further south, but because the shapes you see in the clouds are mainly formed from the vapour trails of commercial aircraft approaching the nearby Edinburgh airport. I know it’s a tenuous link but irrespective of how they were formed it was as amazing sight that morning.

This wasn't a combination I'd seen before, waves crashing down beside deep snow. But then I've never been to either of the poles. I think there is a flying cormorant in shot, but sadly no penguins or walruses were in view, but this is only Dysart after all.
The good boat Argosy beached at Dysart Harbour, but there was no sign of Jason and the Argonauts?

Another of our beautiful sunrises at Dysart, on the Costa del Fife. I like the way the Bass Rock, Craigleith Island and North Berwick Law are silhouetted on the horizon.

Crail was a very large and important medieval market town based on trade from the harbour – now one of the most photographed locations in Scotland and which is also recreated in Legoland, Billund, Denmark, the home of Lego.
The public art of the Dysart Sea-Beams, consists of 30 foot high oak-pillars in various shades of blue, which are meant to match the colours of the sky throughout the year above Dysart beach. Fife Council gave out cameras to local residents, so that they could record the shades of the sky throughout the year. These shades of blue (and grey) were used to paint the pillars, which are symbolic of the masts of the clippers (sailing-ships) which used to carry coal and salt from Dysart Harbour to Holland and Scandinavia. As you can see, the Sea-Beams with Edinburgh’s Arthur’s Seat and Salisbury Crags silhouetted in the background, are a favourite perch of our local seagulls. They look particularly nice, when outlined against a beautiful November sunset.
