'The Holly and the Ivy'

Holly laden with berries at the edge of a field which skirts the main road between Lundin Links and Upper Largo. Along with ivy, the leaves remain green in the winter.

The holly and the ivy - one of our oldest traditional carols. It's possible that it was pagan in origin and adapted as a Christian carol.

Ivy flowers along the path. Ivy covers some of the fences along the old railway track. Its yellow-green flowers bloom late and are a good source of nectar for wildlife whilst its dense foliage provides shelter.
