The rich rural scenery of North Fife, Scotland, provides variety from the historic city of St Andrews and the quaint harbours of the East Neuk of Fife. A Royal Palace in Falkland, a Folk Museum in Ceres, a National Trust Mansion House near Cupar, Balmerino Abbey, Lindores Abbey, Newburgh, Dunbog, Glenduckie, Creich, Birkhill, Ballinbreich, Abdie, Upper Flisk and more in beautiful North East Fife. Also the occasional wander.

By the beginning of 1879, the Tay Railway Bridge swept in a smooth arc across the water from North Fife to Dundee, thrilling dignitaries at the very sight of it. Queen Victoria rode over it on her way south from Balmoral. Its practical purpose was largely to bring Dundee closer to the textile markets, and vice versa, but its arches and rails spoke more of the beauty of human accomplishment.
