Kirkcaldy : Chapel : A910: Lupins flowering The second season of the lupins flowering. These were planted as part of the road dualling. They provide a burst of colour during June. It will be interesting to see how long they flower and if they naturalise.

Footpath to ??? I was puzzled by an obviously used and maintained footpath (the beech and hawthorn hedge is trimmed), that  according to the map came to a dead end where the A92 cut across it.  It starts from the minor road between Muirhead and Shawsmill.
