East Wemyss

The small town of East Wemyss can be found on the south coast of the Kingdom of Fife, Scotland. Once known as an excellent area for fishing, the construction of a sea wall has prevented shore fishing, however many fishermen can enjoy their pursuit from boat huts.

The area is known for its coast, with excellent views and a stunning shoreline, perfect for summer vacations. There are several caves around the area, several of which contain Pictish incised carvings, with many features on the television show “Time Team”.

 

Also to be found in Easy Wemyss are the famous ruins of MacDuff’s Castle, where a supposed apparition of a ‘grey lady’ roams.

The A995 road runs through East Wemyss, allowing for brilliant transportation links to the surrounding rural areas, where many outdoor pursuits can be enjoyed, but also to the other towns and cities nearby.
