Next day we crossed the Firth of Forth via a bridge that included a Welcome to the Kingdom of Fife sign! We then skirted the southern coast of Fife county along the shore of the firth. We stopped in Leven for a stroll along the shore and some soccer playing. We then leisurely explored St Andrews which we all agreed was a nice surprise. We liked the ruins and tower of the Cathedral, the intrigue of the Palace (burnings at the stake, murder and assault tunnels) which figured in to the Catholic/Protestant kerfuffles of the reformation, the quad of St. Mary’s college, the baguettes for lunch, gelatto for snack and a drive by St. Andrews Golf course (where the game was invented centuries ago). Added to the draw of St. Andrews was the fact that it was the chief city of Fife from whence comes my middle name. For the record, my name is very geographical. Chad is a country in Africa, Fife is a county in Scotland and Emmett is a city in Idaho. We then drove via Dundee to Perth where we spent the night.
