Tour Scotland Photographs Old Church St Monans East Neuk Of Fife January 7th

Tour Scotland photograph shot this morning of the old church by the sea in St Monans, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. St Monans Church is situated within its kirkyard just to the west of the village on the very edge of the sea. It has a very dramatic setting, perched on a low rock, reached over a small valley with a burn. As seen from most directions it has the sea as a backdrop. A more modern cemetery stands further westwards on the upper slopes of the little hill. This contains the local war memorial. Standing at the extreme west end of this a romantic ruin can be viewed across fields, again perched on the sea edge. It is often said that St Monans is the church nearest the sea in the whole of Scotland. I shot these photographs at 11.30am, this morning.

Tour St Monans East Neuk Of Fife Scotland



Tour Scotland video of St Monans, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. St Monans, often spelt St Monance, is named after the legendary Saint Monan. This small picturesque community, whose inhabitants formerly made their living mainly from fishing, is now both a tourist destination situated on the Fife Coastal Path, and a close knit community with much vitality and vibrancy. The former burgh rests on a hill overlooking the Firth of Forth, with views to North Berwick, the Bass Rock and the Isle of May. St Monans contains many historical buildings, most notably the now defunct windmill, and a 14th century church that sits on the rocks above the water on the western side
