Discover My Scottish Hometown - Kirkcaldy, Fife + Painting Wild Strawberries In Watercolour - Ep23

Hello & welcome along on this walk! If you're new here - my name is Sarah and each week I head out on a walk with my faithful companion Jack Spaniels, to explore somewhere in this beautiful country of Scotland and hopefully find something to paint back in my studio at home.

Today we are staying very local and exploring the historical sights of the town that I live in - Kirkcaldy in Fife, Scotland. I am originally rom Newcastle, which is across the border in England and I only officially moved to Kirkcaldy this year, so there is still plenty of unexplored places for me to discover.

Come with me as I walk the coastal route of the 'Lang Toun' from the ruined Seafield Tower, along the town's esplanade to Ravenscraig Castle and the historical Dysart Harbour, which featured as a location in Season 2 of Outlander.

I made some surprising discoveries on my way, including the jewel-like wild strawberries that I chose to paint, See how I got on with my paintings at the end of the video.
