Last week's storms, which coincided with high Spring tides, have left their mark. Just below the coastal path in Lundin Links there is now a large hole in the sea wall and there is a small landslip above the sea wall, where the earth has slid down into the hole. The footpath for the Fife Coastal Path can be seen top right in the photo.
The above photo shows a gap between the stones at the end of Lower Largo Pier. This section of the pier is now only being kept in place by the boulders below it. There was a small gap before the storm, but it has now widened considerably and daylight can be seen looking up from below at low tide. There is also a large chunk missing at the side of the pier. (Left in photo.) Largo pier was previously badly damaged by storms at the end of 1998, and the end of it was fenced off for several months until repairs were completed in the Summer of 1999. It would seem that it is this repair that is now coming apart at the seams.
