The story behind the image

For our trip to Scotland we had planned to visit the west coast first and then slowly move to the east coast. But when we arrived in Oban the weather was turning really bad, with strong winds, rain, and low temperatures. And while we sat in our room, wondering what to do now, we watched a TV live broadcast of the British Open golf tournament in St. Andrews. The sun was shining! So we decided to pack our bags and drive over to the east coast. It’s not that far away, and we could stop at interesting locations enroute.

One of these stops was at Culross, west of Dumfermline. This small village has been conserved in its historic state and presents itself to the visitors in a very good shape.

My image shows Back Causeway, a narrow cobble stone street that reminds me of the narrow streets in Italy, with just very little space for cars.

Culross – definitely worth a visit!
