The Kinneuchar Inn

The village is named Kilconquhar but the local inhabitants always refer to it as 'Kinneuchar' and that is the name given to the sole hostelry in Kilconquhar.

Field and Carr, Kilconquhar

The field was hosting grazing geese. The woodland suggests that the loch was once much larger in area and is changing to a succession woodland.

B942, Balcarres Mill

This is quite a busy road especially in the warmer parts of the year. The beaches of the East Neuk were probably lacking in attraction today - drizzle, 4°C. I was still thawing out from walking on Shell Bay. The road crosses the Den Burn here, with Balcarres Den running northwards.

Main Street, Colinsburgh

An often congested bit of road, much of the beach traffic for the East Neuk has to thread through the parked cars here. Looking eastwards past the telephone box towards the Corner Shop.
