Chapel, Kirkcaldy

Once this was Bogie Mains farm, that's when the pillar would have been built. It survived the big housing expansion on the north west of Kirkcaldy and now sits on its hill top just by a bus stop.

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.
