Ravenscraig Castle, Pathhead, Kirkcaldy, Fife.
Ravenscraig castle is located on a promontory, high above the
beach, with views across the Firth of Forth to Edinburgh. Ravenscraig
was one of the first castles in Scotland built to withstand cannon
fire, with very thick walls. The long flight of steps leading
down from the castle to the Pathhead Sands is said to have been
the inspiration for John Buchan's novel "The Thirty-nine
Steps". Location:
On the outskirts of Kirkcaldy. |

Scotland's most unusual churches. It is two very distinct churches,
joined in the middle. Intending visitors should note that the
two halves of the Abbey Church have slightly different opening
hours, especially in winter when only the Old Church is open.
