It has been too long... how many years? Well... too many, but we are back in the home of Scottish Spongeware, at one of our favourite beaches to travel to - Kirkcaldy!

We're looking for anything associated with the heyday of Pottery here in the 'lang toun' - a hub of Victorian and Edwardian industry that sent its exports out across the oceans! We have seen items of crockery, that were made here, in museum displays in Australian and New Zealand! It is almost impossible to imagine what a global impact this place once made - how it must have looked back then, the smoke filled air, the coal strewn beaches, and the infamous stench caused by another of the towns famous industries! Enough of that... back to the beach!

Its an amazing day, the sun is shining and the burn is trickling past, carrying the remnants of history... shards of a past long gone, and yet one that remains in the fragments that we find here. The kiln furniture, the sea glass and the pottery pieces carry their beauty across the years, reminding us of the past and becoming beautiful once again, in the present.
