FIFE

Oh, all right, FirstFoot will declare an interest. FirstFoot used to spend summer holidays in Upper Largo and likes Fife. There, it's said.

Actually, I need to fill up space on this page 'cos there is precious little to get worked up about in Fife. There are no vast estates and the bit of "agriculture" that is dying is fishing.

Where once the East Neuk was a thriving enclave of fishing villages, it is now a thriving enclave of holiday homes and gift shops.

They say that in some villages that you can hardly find a light on in the winter 'cos all the owners are at home elsewhere.
