Today the group got a bus to Burntisland for a walk to Kinghorn, first we headed along the coast.
The earliest historical record of the town of Burntisland was in the 12th century, when the monks of Dunfermline Abbey owned the harbour and neighbouring lands. The settlement was known as Wester Kinghorn and developed as a fishing hamlet to provide food for the inhabinants of Rossend Castle.
After a few miles we headed in land along the Creigencalt link path to Kinghorn Loch.
We arrived at Kinghorn loch we stopped for lunch at a very nice place called Earthship that is an Ecology Centre.
The Earthship Fife Visitor Centre overlooks Kinghorn Loch, (at a site shared with Craigencalt Ecology Centre), where it serves as an educational and research building. SCI is running an on-going monitoring programme to assess an Earthship's performance in Scotland's climate.
We when left Kinghorn on a bus home.
The historic former Royal Burgh of Kinghorn lies on the coastline of the Kingdom of Fife. The former castle in Kinghorn was frequently visited by the Scottish Court in the period of the House of Dunkeld.
It was a great day the weather was nice sunny day with a strong cold wind. A great day was had by all.
