Limekilns is a pretty little village on the Fife coastline and a tranquil place to sit and watch the world go by. Historically and perhaps obviously, the hills behind were extensively mined for limestone and the area has limekilns in abundance.

The harbour here is particularly picturesque and is markedly different depending on the tides.
