Kinross – Strathmiglo – Falkland - Cupar , Scotland
We spent 2 nights at a lovely B&B in Kinross. Over the
next two days we visited the villages where Jen’s late husband’s (Brian Sharp)
family came from. We visited old churches & cemeteries (from 1647), quaint
villages and farms. The weather was fine & sunny – even blue sky!
I think our favourite was Falkland
– it has a palace (built 1539) which Mary, Queen of Scots used as a Hunting
Lodge. The tiny stone houses (oldest 503 years old!) and narrow roads incredible.
We had lunch at Kind Kytoch’s Kitchen, opposite a lovely
park where Johnny Cash sang & presented a seat – as his family originally
from the area.
Farmers are busy ploughing fields, fertilising & sewing
crops. Lots of rolled hay in other fields; also broccoli & potatoes being
harvested everywhere! Lots of apple trees, strawberries & covered plant
& shrub nursery ‘farms’.
We travelled to Perth – Dundee – Errol – Forgandenny – Longforgan to again check
out the Sharps’ – found one family gravestone!
