The Royal Burgh of Burntisland in Scotland
I could never stay long enough on the shore; the tang of the untainted, fresh, and free sea air was like a cool, quieting thought. Helen Keller
Hello Hello Hivers, have you got your walking shoes on, because we are off on a wee trip to the next town from me.
Strictly speaking it is two seaside towns away. We are in Kirkcaldy and going to go through Kinghorn and arrive in Burntisland.
These are all seaside towns in the Kingdom of Fife in Scotland.
Right then, down murder hill we shall stroll.
Why Murder hill you ask...
Try walking up that hill with bags of grocery shopping, it is murderrr I tell you!
We are now standing at the bus 🚍 stop in Linktown in Kirkcaldy in Scotland 🏴 The floodlights you can see in the previous picture are from the football ⚽️ stadium of Raith Rovers Football Club.
Aha here we go, we are taking the number 7 today. Don't be a daft numpty! We always take the number 7, that is the only bus that goes this way🤣
Bonus points for someone who tells me what numpty means in the comments!
All aboard we go.
Weird fact, during Covid the bus company stopped you from buying return tickets, only single journey tickets or a day ticket. I never did work out what the fluff that was about!
The journey is only along the coast, so expect to see the sea.
If you deviate from seeing the sea, you have gotten on the wrong bus 🤣
These farm buildings for me have a most wonderful view.
Do you like that view?
This is my favourite painting view.
I think this would be the most gorgeous simple view for a painting.
Now we zip along past their farm and fields of crops, I feel that I am playing dcrops!
Okay now we are getting closer to our destination, I can smell the sea air.
I call this the welcoming island and almost time to get off the bus.
I get withdrawal symptoms if I am too far from the sea.
The railway does follow the coast, but it is quicker for me to take the bus to where I am going. maybe next time I will show you a Scottish train journey!
Do you think that 40 speed sign is for the trains or the cars and buses?
Time to get off the bus.
Now we are in the Royal Burgh Of Burntisland
Do you see the bus in the window 🪟 and me too 🤣
Looking down the High Street
One of the iconic sysmbols of the UK is the red telephone box we call them.
This one is beside the library.
One thing about Burntisland is the amount of floral displays in the town.
Here a flower, there a flower, everywhere a flower.
I have to visit the chemist or pharmacy you might call them, because my doctor is still in that town where I used to live.
So before I collect my meds I shall leave you with a bonnie flower or two.
And as usual, whenever I see flowers I think of @dswigle and #alwaysaflower
I love to walk wherever possible and this wee stroll is also a post for #WednesdayWalk by @tattoodjay

Magic thanks!
Congratulations, your post has been added to Pinmapple! 🎉🥳🍍
Did you know you have your own profile map?
And every post has their own map too!
Want to have your post on the map too?
do you know when that will be working again?
Still no ETA yet but the devs are making a lot more progress this week compared to last week. Last week 600k duplicate pins appeared on the map which is like 10x more, it took ages to reverse that, completed!!
Okay thank you for the progress update @livinguktaiwan
It is a bit unnerving creating new pins when you profile is not there so to speak.
I suspect numpty is a polite version of eejit?
hehe a wee bit yes :)
😆
I keep meaning to go back out to burntisland. It has been far too long!
oh yeah your connections there. It has lost the two banks in town the last couple of years and now the post office, but the high street is thriving with local shops though which is a good thing.
I do like a busy wee high street. Especially in a wee toon!
An award winning butcher's Tam Courts he is in a few toons😃
Have you tried walking up the hill with grocery bags? Haha.
oo oo and oo I have! That is why I call it murder hill🤣
Hola hola, Super Ed!! Numpty ah? you silly what? jaja
It's true, the landscapes of the countryside and the farms look like paintings, and I love the fact that there are so many flowers in that village.
Why did you move from there?
hehe numpty, I do like this word.
They do like their flowers.
Ah the landlady suddenly told me in Covid that she need the apartment for her daughter to live in. A total lie but it turned out for the best, as it is far better here Super Eli.
Now that I know it, I think I will like to use it too, hehe Numpty numpty
Always positive, Super Ed! 🌀🌀🌀
And I love that gif, I think I'll steal it to use later muahhh
jeje you should use it, I like it
jeje numpty haha now I am laughing Super Eli
I will use it for sure jaja ;)
jajajaja you are brilliant Super Eli
Numpty! Sounds like what my grandma used to call me when I was being stupid. Which was often.
Is still often, in fact. 😂
You've got some wonderful landscapes there. Being by the sea must be beautiful. And the red telephone box! I'm hoping it has been upgraded to be a hotspot now! 😄
hehe yes your grandma may well have used it. It is ideal for when someone is being stupid 🤣
I have lived close to the sea all over the world most of my life and I do feel not right if it is not close by!
The telephone box, most of them now no longer have phones, but can be mini libraries etc. I need to check and actually see what that one is!
Thank you for that fun adventure Tito Ed. It's fascinating that they have lots of flower displays in that area.
And oh, I think numpty is a subtle way of saying "nuthead, silly or crazy or stupid", lol!
hehe oo a politeish way to say someone is stupid really.
The flowers are great and give a place a lift CJ:)
Haha, my first thought :) Thank you for that new vocab :)
Flowers do make a place look better, livelier if I may say so. Hope you got your meds on that trip
Yes they do and good morning CJ
Cheers Tito Ed ❤
I will try not to walk down the street of murder with a grocery bag😂😂.. Numpty😅😅 a nice word to tell me don't be too numbery or should I say proper😆😆. I can feel the waves of the sea.😘
Walking down the hill is okay, walking back up the hill is when it is murder 🤣
Yeah the sea is powerful yet soothing:)
Numbery now I have not heard of that ;)
🤣🤣 ah! Now I get the vivid picture better.
You need to be well honored to have seen it first then, for I just thought of it while reading and It felts just right to be used 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am well honoured and am saying thank you for using it on me first;) I hope that you enjoyed it too!
Hehe 😂, yes I do.. Do have a nice day ahead.

Quite the touristy place in the summer with cafes on the High Street, also a cracking award winning butcher. A bustling High Street it is good to see.
Thanks to your post, I now know that there is a place called burntisland in Scotland.
Thanks for sharing something so amazing.
Thanks Sam, yes it has been around for a long long time!
Looking at the pictures I really get the feeling of being in England. I've visited twice before - Not Scotland, not yet! 😊
The UK is the UK, so although different the countries do look alike :)
Just learned a new word - numpty. 😉😀
This is such a lovely place and so many flowers everywhere.
hehe it is fun sharing some words Neli;)
Yes it is a pretty place and lots of open shops so that is always good for a small town.
