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.

North Fife Fruit Newburgh
Newbugh north fife has long been famous for its fruit trees particularly for plums. Orchards have existed there from the time of Lindores Abbey over 700 years ago. Today I availed myself of plums which this year have been very prolific due to the ideal conditions at blossom time.
To my surprise and very unusually a young wood pigeon was not at all bothered by my presence as it roosted in an adjacent fruit tree.
