Pittenweem Harbour

Pittenweem Harbour
Pittenweem... is a fishing village and civil parish in Fife, on the east coast of Scotland. At the 2001 census, it had a population of 1,747. The name derives from Pictish and Scottish Gaelic. "Pit-" represents Pictish pett 'place, portion of land', and "-enweem" is Gaelic na h-Uaimh, 'of the Caves' in Gaelic, so "The Place of the Caves". The name is rendered Baile na h-Uaimh in modern Gaelic, with baile, 'town, settlement', substituted for the Pictish prefix. The cave in question is almost certainly St Fillan's cave, although there are many indentations along the rocky shores that could have influenced the name. Quoted from Wikipedia

Another place I'd like to go to. At the moment we are only visiting our very local countryside and the 3 towns that are near to us, Shrewsbury, Oswestry and Chirk. I have run out of ideas for photographs.

I would love to head for the East Neuk too, Amelia, but I don't feel ready to travel just yet. I am looking through my archive for photographs to upload. There is a fairy trail close to where I live, so I have been making many visits, and taking many photos. Have a great weekend. All the best, Joe

I love your framing of this shot Joe. The clouds in the corner and the wispy light clouds floating over the house look beautiful! I know how you feel about travelling too far from home. I would love to go to the coast, but it's just a little too far. Maybe in a couple of weeks! Cheers, Rosa.

Superbe et admirable prise de vue . Apparemment tous les villages de pêcheurs se ressemblent par leur exposition et brise-lames... Bon weekend.

Les villages de pêcheurs ont toujours un charme unique avec les parfums marins qui caressent nos narines.

Fishing villages have always been very attractive to me.
I love that lonely boat leaning against the breakwater: it seems to want to have a nice chat with the white house.
Thank you so much for the photos and information about this part of Scotland that unfortunately I have never visited, despite having been to your fabulous country three times.
And also for the etymologies I've always been passionate about.
Happy Sunday to you Joe
