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.

Tchu Singe (water lion)
Tchu Singe (water lion) Traditional roof ornaments on Temples in Tibet and China, protectors to the four quarters. In the building of Samye-Ling many volunteers laboured to bring about its completion by the 8th of the 8th 1988. One of my roles was to model in clay a Tchu Singe, a cast was made and four made from it in glass reinforced resin. Looking ok after 20 years though I noticed Jackdaws had nested in the mouth of one, something that I'm sure H.H.Karmapa would appreciate.
