Clatto Hill The summit. The trig point was marked with claw marks. Given the talk of leopards in the woods of Fife, I was relieved to see that they were the work of badgers.

Farmland above Devon A lot of land here is wooded, but this is still farmland. Another wind prospecting mast suggests changes possible. The cairn is made of rocks cleared from the land. Looking north.

Filled in cutting A railway bridge is now flush with the surrounding farmland after a cutting was filled. Old fencing and plastic in the soil suggests that this was a landfill site.

The East Fife Central Railway was for most of its life a freight line and was never completed. It was intended to reach St Andrews via a junction at Kingsbarns.
