Returning home a moment from my virtual tour of Fife, here’s just a wee taster of a poem in The Healing Paths of Fife: Ode to Kinghorn You stole my heart the moment we met as I gazed down from the Braes. The warm sun captured in the palm of your hand even on the…

Kinghorn ~ Diana’s Virtual Tour of the Kingdom of Fife
My first memories of Kinghorn were looking over the Braes down to Kinghorn Harbour.
