The Memorial Cairn at Culloden
The Clan Donald Stone. This picture gives a good idea of the bleak Drumossie Moor where the Battle of Culloden was fought. It marked the end of the Jacobite Rebellion.
One of the burial chambers built 3-4000 years ago.
Some of the standing stones at Clava
Observations and photos from the sea-shore, countryside and villages around Largo Bay in the East Neuk of Fife, and from my small garden in Lundin Links. Occasional forays to other parts.

About Me
- Largo observer
- Married. Semi-retired. I live in a village on the coast in the East Neuk of Fife. Interested in the flora and fauna of this lovely area, and recording my observations of wild-life at the shore, in the countryside, and in our garden. Also, a bit about the local area and some reviews of books, concerts, plays that I've enjoyed. Although, I hope to take photos of what I see, I am not an expert photographer, however, I hope that the photos will be a good record of my observations of the natural world in a small part of Scotland.
