Footpath to Edenstown

Edenstown is not really a town. It's not even a village. But nice network of footpaths through the woodland.

Kingskettle

An attractive village in Fife locally known as Kettle which developed in an area which once belonged to the Crown and where an unrecorded battle or Cathel took place, this is how the name Kingskettle came about. The village developed in the 19th century with the opening of the turnpike road and with the development of mining and weaving.
