Rock Formation on the Coast

Highlight • Viewpoint

Not a peaceful place, geologically anyway. Evidence of huge disruptions in the past litter the coastline

Tip by

Save

These shallow caves and limestone arches along the Fife coastal trail are a must visit if you're passing by. It's said that one of these caves housed St Adrian, and you can see many crosses carved into the rock inside. He was later killed by invading Danes in 875 AD.

These caves were formed by erosion from the sea before the land level was changed and you can now see them raised to their current elevated height.

The cave is easy to come across on the Fife costal path and a short walk down from the golf club.

Legend has it if you manage to throw a stone straight through the small hole in the cliff, without touching the sides, you will have some good luck 🍀
