Very nice pics. Someone once told me that Fife was a bit rough... is it?

I can't believe it can be THAT rough. Looks like the sort of place with an average age of 60+ - where I could retire to in peace!

It's like anywhere, has it's good places and not-so-good places. You wouldn't want to live in certain bits of Hertfordshire,for example.

In times past it used to be considered a self-sufficient County - isolated by the Firths of Tay and Forth but containing coal mines, arable and livestock farms and fishing ports.

@ Raybeard

Limekilns, the village in the first picture, probably has a high average age... The rest of the pictures are from Dunfermline which is now little more than a commuter town for Edinburgh.
