To the gym again just after 7...
Breakfast at home then over to Fife to visit the small town of Culross (pronounced "Koo-ross" for some reason)...
This railway runs along the coast at this beautiful place...
We parked and walked to the centre...
...and visited the 17th century "palace" which has been fully restored by the National Trust for Scotland...
...the gardens behind the palace provided an excellent wee walk - the aromas of the herbs and plants grwoing in each of around nione different sections of the garden, laid out as they would have been four hundred years ago, were superb...
It was roasting as we walked to the Mercat Cross...
...where we viewed swifts which had alighted on telephone wires...
...on up to the Abbey - the church is still in use but the monastery is a ruin...
...then back down the hill and to the car, where we bought freshly made crisps from "The Crisp Hut", choosing seasalt and balsamic vinegar as flavouring...
Tasty...
We drove East for around an hour or so, eventually arriving in Anstruther (pronounced "Enster" for some reason) and took a walk around this ancient harbour town...
...before lunching on the world famous Enster Fish and Chips...
Heading back towards Edinburgh, we stopped off in nearby Elie...
...where we had a seat down at the beach, enjoying what was left of the sunshine...
...along with 99 from the local deli...
...pointless going to the gym this morning really...
In the evening, Spain beating a pretty bad Portugal failed to entertain although it produced the last of the last eight after Paraguay had beaten japan on penalties this afternoon...
Highlight of the Day : A trip to the Kingdom of Fife
