taken 3 months ago, 4 km SE of Pettycur, Fife, Scotland
The island of Inchkeith
Apart from the Isle of May, Inchkeith is the largest (about 1.1 km long) and most easterly of the islands in the Firth of Forth. And like most such islands, it played a significant role in the defence of the firth in both World Wars, evidence of which can be seen in this photo. It was taken from near the highest point on the island (occupied by a lighthouse), and is looking NNW towards the Fife coast. Burntisland and Kinghorn can be seen.
