Fife Coastal Path, St Monans to Pitemween.

Quite an intersting stretch, steeped in history, among these pics are the remains of the salt works. In the late 1700,s, after wool and fish, salt was Scotland's third biggest export, and the Fife coast was the main source of the product. Further west, at Dysart, Pan Ha' bears the name of the industry, Panning being the method used so the name came from the many salt pans that once lay nearby.

Further east on the coastal path evidence remains of the Salt Pans at St Monans, along here there is a new company, founded in 2019, that still exports salt, The Eat Neuk Salt company. Using a combination of traditional and modern methods, ENSC creates 100% organically hand-harvested Scottish sea salt flakes using the finest Grade A waters sourced from the coast of the East Neuk in Fife.

Back in the day most coastal communities that had access to coal were involved in the industry: coal was needed to heat the evaporation pans where water from the sea was boiled into sea salt. The windmill at St Monans—the last remaining windmill in Fife—was used to pump sea water into the salt pans, which were then heated by local coal.

Also in this part of the walk we have St Monans outdoor tidal pool. Hewn out of the rocky coast, the pool is ringed by man-made walls and access points which naturally replenish with a fresh cascade of seawater. The pool is no longer maintained , as a warning signs tells us, and bathers are warned they use the pool at their own risk. While I was there a golden labrador/retrriever called Ruby was enjoying the waters.

Above this point is St Monans Windmill, the interior of which is currently closed until further notice., so I didn't bother climbing the hill to inspect it further. This windmill dates from 1772 when, as I mentioned earlier, was constructed as part of a salt panning enterprise. This entailed extraction of salt from seawater, a business established by Sir John Anstruther. At this time salt was a valuable commodity used for food preservation when refrigeration did not exist.

Btw if you come on holidays and stay at an AirBnb instead of an actual registered hotel I hate you personally. Not "I hate the gentrification and touristic massification and the way we can't live in our homes and are forced to move away because of tourism" in an abstract way- No, not just that. I hate you.
