Around Inverkeithing<\/p>\n

I saw quite a bit of the town but most of the photos come from the main street. I walked up one of the hills and the photo from there is my favourite panoramic shot of the harbour, better than those posted previously. \u00a0It did help that the weather was much improved.\u00a0 At the top was a short street called\u00a0\u201cWhinny Hill Crescent\u201d. \u00a0Seems a bit high for the comfort of horses but I could well imagine a small, whiny kid complaining of the climb.<\/p>\n

The view – heavy mist, facing me when I left my \u00a0 B & B early on 2 mornings. It was followed by brilliant blue skies. When I went to Edinburgh nothing could be seen \u00a0past the Forth rail bridge yet clear skies existed not far after reaching land. No wonder all the vegetation seems to grow like a jungle. \u00a0For more information on Inverkeithing see<\/p><\/div>\n
