I'm out & about on the FJ again. It's cloudy and coolish, but this is Scotland and if I were to wait for perfect weather to ride I'd likely wait a good while.
 |
| When going for my healthy (ahem) breakfast I parked next to this Suzuki. |
 |
| The owner was waiting for the recovery service because his front brake lever had fallen off. I offered sympathy and advice (ride it on the rear brake) but he wasn't keen on that. |
 |
| Balvaird Castle. I'm sure I've never passed here before. |
 |
| In quite good condition for 500 years old. |
 |
| Old as it is this is much older. |
 |
| How Scottish is this? - a clootie dumpling shop! I vaguely remember my mother making them when I was a child. It's a fruit pudding boiled in an old pillowcase (cloot = cloth in Scots) |
 |
| You can just about see the sills in the Lindores Abbey distillery. |
 |
| The old abbey entrance. About all that left because the abbey didn't survive the Scottish reformation. |
 |
| The site of a great Scottish victory…..or was it? Historians question whether this battle actually took place. |
 |
| The River Tay at the (maybe) battle site. |
 |
| Direction signs to the secret bunker - this always makes me chuckle. |
 |
| The fishing port of Anstruther. |
