We drove through Perth and then tried to drive through the Dundee roadworks and we eventually crossed the River Tay - it's positively enormous! And then we drove on to East Neuk. East Neuk comprises a lot of golf courses, notably St Andrews and a lot of very pretty fishing villages.
St Andrews was where we stopped for a bit of retail therapy but that only went as far as getting some coffees as we had to drive on to our lunch stop.
Sadly this was not owned by one of the relatives I was trying to track down.
Then we drove on through Crail to Anstruther where our local member was an ex-member of the RNLI crew so we had our own private tour around the lifeboat station.
Looking like a collection of brightly coloured bats, this is the correct way up for the photo...it does of course ensure that any water does drain out rather than sitting in the tips of the boots waiting to give you a nasty shock on a cold day.
As we headed back we drove through Cupar where one of my Scottish ancestors ran an Italian Licensed grocery shop in the early 1900s; I popped out to photograph the whole street as I didn't know what number his shop had been...only when we returned to Brighton did I discover that Google's Street View car had got there earlier...
