Pittenweem ~ The Fisherman’s Hub and other Special Attributes

My virtual walk along the Fife Coastal Path revisited continues into Pittenweem. A visit to St Fillan’s Cave is a must.

The new edition of ‘The Healing Paths of Fife’ is available. All profits to Kirkcaldy Foodbank.

Next along the Fife Coastal Path from St Monan’s is the fishing village of Pittenweem, the hub which catches and distributes fresh fish to all of Fife and beyond. There is a fish shops straight from the boats at the back of St Monan’s. We buy ours in Burntisland, but a van also brings fish to people’s doors in many areas of Fife.

The beauty of the old stone harbour, with its creels and boats, is enhanced by signs of the working fishing industry in my eyes. The local in-bloom group completes the picture by decorating a variety of bicycles with flowers in the summer months. Delightful!

THE HEALING PATHS OF FIFE ~ Revised and Updated

It was time, following the pandemic, for me to revise and update the popular The Healing Paths of Fife. Since it was a fantasy memoir, not only has my life moved on somewhat, having lived permanently
in Fife now for eight years, but also the towns and villages and their facilities have changed. I would like to mention that Alec and Moira, to whom the original book was dedicated, the owners of the Wee Shoppe on Kinghorn Beach, have retired due to ill health. I am still in touch with them but
they are missed by many.

 

I have raised well over £700 in profit from the book for The Kirkcaldy Foodbank and other local charities, and will continue to do so. If you buy it you would also be supporting a worthwhile and much needed charity.

Available at Amazon

and Waterstones

In the next couple of months I am going to revisit those wonderful places in Fife much loved and mentioned in the book.
