Aberdour 12-03-2012.
I did this walk on the 12th March 2012. The video s start`s at a viewing point along the A921 between Burntisland and Aberdour. This point looks over the Forth. I then leave there and head in to Aberdour and the Villages famous Silver Sand Park and Beach.
There is a car park to the right near the beach but there is a disabled car park further on right next to the beach and that is where I am going to park.
I started the walk by going along to the left of the beach to just passed the café and toilet.
I then turned around and headed back the other way to the Boat House and the small light house a little further on which is as far as I can go.
There is a path that goes over the hill to the West seafront but there are some steps which I can`t access.
I head back to where I parked my car. But I was thinking about the people I saw when I was at the East end of the beach near the café, they seemed to be heading for a path that went along the East side of the bay and I was wondering where it went and for how far, so I think I will head along that way and see where it goes to.
It mostly goes along side or close to the sea and the railway track. The railway line is the main Aberdeen to Edinburgh and beyond line.
Quite a bit along the path I came to a lovely water fall, it was worth doing the walk just to see it.
A short distance after that I turned around. I had come to what I thought was the start of the new houses being built at the West side of Burntisland on the ground that might have been where the Aluminium Works used to be on.
Aluminium Works Burntisland Aluminium Company started production in the town in 1917. Production ceased in late 2002.
I headed back to the car after that.
I hope you enjoyed the walk and video. If you did check out my other videos of walks or even come along and do the walks yourself. There are some great walks around Fife though most of the walks I do are around my home in Lochgelly. This is due to a few factors, one is that there are a lot of great walks local to where I live (some might not be all that long but there are quite a few of them close-ish together that if you are able to you could maybe do more than one of the walks).
All of my walks are Mobility scooter accessible or I would not be able to do them. My Mobility scooter is a large 3 wheeled version.
Is there anyone out there that might be willing to sponsor me by buying me a good quality Helmut camera? At the moment I use my Sony Ericsson Neo 720p phone camera which I have to hold in one hand steer the scooter with the other which can be quite hard to do.
I have tried a Helmut camera an unbranded version of a camera called a Possidion 720p HD but I found the video warped. I looked on youtube at clips taken on some other similar priced Helmut cameras and found them warped as well so it will have to be a more expensive Helmut camera that produces true to live HD video like I get from my Sony Ericsson Neo 720p phone camera. A Helmut as well would be helpfull but not a bike version with all the holes in it, more like motor bike Helmut's.

St Fillan's Church, Aberdour, Fife, Scotland
One of the finest examples of Norman architecture in Scotland, this 'miniature Cathedral' sits in its own graveyard overlooking Aberdour harbour. The early church, standing in 1123, consisted of the nave and chancel, lit by deep splayed windows which still exist. The church was enlarged in the 15th century by the addition of a side aisle, and in the 17th by the small transeptual aisle, now used by the choir. The church fell into disrepair in the 18th century and was restored in 1925

Burntisland is a royal burgh and parish in Fife, Scotland, on the northern shore of the Firth of Forth. According to the 2011 census, the town has a population of 6,269. It is known locally for its award-winning sandy beach, the 15th-century Rossend Castle, as well as the traditional summer fair and Highland games day. To the north of the town a hill called The Binn is a landmark of the Fife coastline; a volcanic plug, it rises 193 m (632 ft) above sea level.
The earliest historical record of the town was in the 12th century, when the monks of Dunfermline Abbey owned the harbour and neighbouring lands. The settlement was known as Wester Kinghorn and developed as a fishing hamlet to provide food for the inhabitants of Rossend Castle. The harbour was then sold to James V by the abbots of Dunfermline Abbey in exchange for a parcel of land.
Burntisland developed as a seaport, being second only to Leith in the Firth of Forth, and shipbuilding became an important industry in the town. In 1633 one of the barges, the Blessing of Burntisland, carrying Charles I and his entourage's baggage from Burntisland to Leith sank with the loss of Charles' treasure. In 1601, King James VI chose the town as an alternative site for the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland. This was when a new translation of the Bible was first discussed, a project which James brought to fruition a decade later in the King James Bible.
Burntisland became an important port for the local herring and coal industries, and in 1847 the Edinburgh and Northern Railway opened from Burntisland north to Lindores and Cupar. By 1850 the world's first roll-on/roll-off rail ferry service was crossing the Firth of Forth between Burntisland and Granton, enabling goods wagons to travel between Edinburgh and Dundee without the need for unloading and re-loading at the ferries. (Passengers however had to disembark and use separate passenger ferries). This operated until 1890 when the Forth Bridge opened. In the late 19th century, the area experienced a short-lived boom in oil shale mining and processing at the Binnend Works.
The Burntisland Shipbuilding Company at Burntisland West Dock was founded in 1918 as an emergency shipyard for the First World War, specialising in cargo ships. In 1929 the yard introduced the Burntisland Economy steamship, which was designed to maximise fuel economy. The town is also home to the eleventh-oldest golf club in the world, Burntisland Golf Club (The 'Old Club', as it is known among its members). Although it is not a course-owning club, its competitions are held over the local course now run by Burntisland Golf House Club.
In the summer months the annual fair comes to town and there is also the second oldest highland games in the world held on the third Monday every July. The Beacon leisure centre has a 25m swimming pool with a wave machine as well as water flumes and a small children's pool with a variety of pool toys.
The Burntisland and District Pipe Band compete in Grade 3B after being promoted from Grade 4B after a successful 2014 season. The band are 2014 British, U.K and European and World Champions. The band is known throughout for its development with children in the local area, creating players that now compete in Grade 1.
Burntisland railway station is on the Fife Circle Line and provides direct links with Kirkcaldy to the north and Edinburgh to the south. However only the southbound platform provides step-free access.
Burntisland is served by Stagecoach bus service 7, which runs between Dunfermline in the west and Leven (via Kirkcaldy) in the east. The circular B1 service, operated by Bay Travel, covers most areas of the town.

Fife Coastal Route / Top 7 attractions / Scotland road trip
With a total distance of 77 miles (124km), the Fife Coastal Route runs as you’d expect almost entirely along the coast. It takes in the historic Kingdom of Fife and rather neatly, it starts and ends on bridges crossing two of Scotland’s greatest rivers: the Firth of Forth and the Tay. The bridges over the Forth rank among some of the finest in the UK.
Charming cobbled streets tumble down to the miniature harbour, which is sheltered by cliffs and surrounded by historic fishing cottages. Crail is a historic fishing village on the East Neuk of Fife coast and is well worth a visit.
Only 90 minutes by car from Edinburgh and 10 miles south of St Andrews, the Home of Golf.
Crail is the most easterly of the line of coastal settlements along the south side of the East Neuk of Fife. Many would also say it is also the most attractive of them, though each has its own unique character. Crail is a wonderful place to visit at any time of year, though it's probably at its best on a bright day in Winter when you stand more chance of having it to yourself.
Anstruther is a charming fishing village in the East Neuk of Fife, popular with day-trippers and holidaymakers.
Located south of St Andrews, Anstruther is the largest in a string of pretty, old-fashioned fishing villages along the stretch of Fife coast known as the East Neuk.
Perhaps the top attraction is simply tucking into a quality fish supper from the Anstruther Fish Bar, which in recent years has won a number of awards including UK Fish and Chip Shop of the year. Enjoy the locally caught fish by the harbour as fishing boats land their catch.
In the 1790s, salt was Scotland’s third-largest export, after wool and fish. The ruins at St Monans saltworks, adjacent to the Fife Coastal Path, is a reminder of this industry that was once very important to the Scottish economy. The windmill at St Monans—the last remaining windmill in Fife—was used to pump sea water into the salt pans, which were then heated by local coal.
Elie is a popular seaside town in the East Neuk of Fife.
A picturesque seaside resort, Elie is gathered around a curve of golden sand. The harbour, established in the 16th century, is a popular with yachts and small pleasure craft while the surrounding bay is popular with windsurfers and bathers.
The town is also home to two fantastic golf courses. James Braid, celebrated golf course designer and five times winner of the British Open Golf Championship in the early 20th century was born in Elie.
Aberdour Silver Sands is one of the most popular and attractive beaches on the Fife coast.
Silver Sands offers the freshness and variety of the seaside as well as the peace and tranquillity of the countryside. The shore, in its charming setting, looks out to the islands of Inchmickery and Inchcolm, where there is a famous abbey.
Aberdour Silver Sands is a great place for a family day out, with a kids’ putting green and a bouncy castle in the summer.
Historic Culross is one of Scotland's most picturesque towns.
It is believed that Culross was founded by St Serf, and is located in the south west of Fife, overlooking the Firth of Forth.
Wandering around this charming town is about as close to stepping back in time to the 16th century as possible. The whitewashed, red-tiled buildings are well preserved, such as the Town House, where witches were tried and held while awaiting execution.
