Piping the Marches at Kinghorn
Piping the Marches
Kinghorn 17th June 2007
26 people (and one dog) assembled at the Doo Dells car park in Kinghorn on a fine afternoon for the annual Piping the Marches. The group followed the young piper down to Kinghorn beach, along the prom and past the old Kinghorn church before tackling the South Overgate Brae. Turning east they walked around the Abden estate, picking up a few more walkers en route before crossing the main road to Orchard Terrace. Then, followed the long walk along the back road, (fortunately without the normal west wind in their faces) to the Kilcruick Junction. Crossing the road and dropping down the donkey field they had magnificent views over Edinburgh from the top of the Golf Course. A brisk pace down past the golf course and across to the cemetery (quietly), entitled them to the luxury of a seat looking west towards the bridges. The folk then split up, with some descending the steep steps to Pettycur beach, and others taking the gentler slope along Rossness Drive to meet up again on Pettycur Road. A short stride from there took them back to the starting position where they adjourned for well-earned cup of tea in the Rosslands Motel, courtesy of Rotary. All had a good day and hopefully we can build on this next year.
