Fife Doors Open Days! Come on down to East Wemyss and learn about the wonderful heritage here, the Picts and how the caves tied into the wider cultural landscape right into the modern era.
I'm up at McDuff Castle.

We have had our annual monitoring day today, where we log and photograph the conditions of all of the assets in our care at the Wemyss coast.
Caves, paths (not the Fife Coastal Path) and carvings.
And the weather was mostly wonderful, although the most recent storms have made the paths pretty tricky to navigate in places.
Looking forward to welcome visitors back for tours from the 7th April!

Come and see us at #TAFAC in Dundee and say hi, if you're about!

Come and find us in the entrance of Court Cave today.
We're doing our accessible tours today, but I'll be in here all afternoon if you want to chat to be about caves and Picts! (Or anything else).
I also brought Woody, in case anyone needs doggy snuggles. 😊

Current view out of court cave. 😊
It's raining. The sound of the drops falling on the leaves is soothing.

It's tour day on the Wemyss foreshore!
Our tours are fully booked for today, but if you come to our visitor centre on The Haugh in East Wemyss you can visit our wee museum on the caves and other local history.
If we do have anyone who doesn't turn up for the booked tour, we will do our best to accommodate you. But we can't promise. 😔
