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.

Harvest September North Fife
September harvest, a good month or so later than usual but for the moment we are blessed with a high pressure weather system giving warm sunny drying days after a lot of rain. These organically grown oats are at Jamesfield which borders north fife.
Very ripe barley at Flisk, short stalked and needing a low cut to be gathered by the combine harvester.
Wheat, so ripe that it's starting to loose its grain. All in all the yields are good and right now as I write, outside one can hear combines and tractors working away although it is 11-30pm, dark and becoming cool.
