Dysart and St Serf

 Looking down on Dysart Harbour. Dysart is around 10 miles South West of Largo and between West Wemyss and Kirkcaldy.
The Harbourmaster's House which has been converted into a coastal centre highlighting the Fife Coastal Path.
St Serf's Tower.

The outside of St Serf's cave. This natural chambered cave is in the grounds of a Carmelite Monastery and yesterday under the Fife Doors Open scheme the caves were opened to the public for the first time in 80 years. The queues were enormous but it was well worth the wait.

 Inside the cave which formed the Chapel of the Holy Rood.
More photos from inside the caves. St Serf was the Abbot of the Monastery of Culross and was said to have used the caves as a retreat from the world in the 6th Century. He died in 543.
