  • The East Neuk Sundial Trail to St. Andrews by Dennis Cowan
    The East Neuk Sundial Trail to St. Andrews by Dennis Cowan This sundial trail starts from the Forth Road Bridge (the main A90 road from Edinburgh) which spans the River Forth between South Queensferry and North Queensferry and is only a few miles from Scotland’s capital city. It ends in St. Andrews, the home of golf where another sundial trail is available (the St. Andrews Sundial Trail). St. Andrews now of course is almost as famous in some quarters for being the place where Prince William and Kate Middleton first met at the University in the town. Another sundial trail is available for the return journey which takes a different route back to your starting point at the Forth Road Bridge (the North Fife Sundial Trail). The East Neuk Sundial Trail takes the scenic (and longer and much slower) coastal route to the East Neuk of Fife (neuk is an old Scots word for corner) via Inverkeithing, Aberdour, Burntisland, and the fishing villages of Elie and Crail and then on to St. Andrews. A car will be needed and a full day is required. The journey to St. Andrews is approximately 53 miles and around 2½ hours driving time from the Forth Road Bridge plus stopping and viewing times. There are eight sundials at six locations on this route plus four options to see another five sundials. These options are identified in the text. If you are doing all three trails mentioned above and using this trail as the return leg from St. Andrews, you will obviously have to reverse the directions.

  • Obarski Family
    The Last Shop in Earlsferry This article is based on a talk about the Obarski Family given by Irene Stevenson to the Elie and Earlsferry History Society on 13 February 2020 (the difference in the name Obarski and Obarska is explained by Polish convention of female surnames ending in …ska when the male form is …ski). I have been asked to give a talk on the village experiences of the Obarski family. This will be mainly about ‘Henry and Elsie’ as most people in Elie and Earlsferry will remember them. My name is Irene Stevenson. My Maiden name was Urquhart and Henry was my step-father, my mother’s second husband. I realise that quite a lot of people do not know that, and it is a credit to my family that I was recognised to be very much part of the Obarski family. I think I still qualify as the only person to give this talk! Below are some photographs and will be how most will remember Henry and Elsie. Henry came here during the war and like many others, he never talked about his war experiences. I do know that he was involved in Operation Market Garden at Arnhem. I have read much about this but I am not here to give a talk on Arnhem. If you have seen the film “A Bridge Too Far” or read the book, you will know about the awful things that happened there. I was well aware that he did suffer terribly from shell-shock. We had to be so careful not to make sudden noises, bang doors, etc.

RECYCLING CENTRES IN EAST NEUK There have been various issues since March 2020, due to lockdown with people accessing recycling centres in our area. Particularly with people who do not access to a computer to be able to book times, the elderly in particular and Fife council’s refusal for pick ups, larger vehicles, vans and trailers to be allowed in to drop off rubbish. Councillor Holt stressed the difference between our area, being largely rural and agricultural compared to cities to Councillor Vettraino. She also stressed that we have one of the largest proportion of over 85’s in our area who have needs to be addressed regarding the above topic and especially need further help during covid. Councillor Vettraino advised that trailers, some pickups are now allowed to use the recycling centres. White goods can now be unloaded, as well wood. Rubble cannot be unloaded. AirBnb rubbish is counted as commercial so they should not be using facility. Question was asked whether the recycling centre at Pittenweem could change its opening times, Councillor Vettraino to check. 2. REWILDING Various comments were made by CC’s that there had been no consultation between fife council and the CC’s regarding rewilding in the east Neuk.
