Highlights Along The Route

Point of Interest

Here the sandstone contains many little pits which form parallel rows about 20 cm apart. Some rows cross over each other .These pits represent the footprints of a millipede-type animal, about 1.5 m long, which lived about 330 million years ago. At that time it was probably the largest land animal. Thanks to geoHeritage Fife for advice and image.

Point of Interest

As glaciers advanced during the last ice age over 10,000 years ago they chipped off boulders and carried them along sometimes hundreds of miles. When the ice melted the boulders, like these ones here, were simply dumped. Thanks to geoHeritage Fife for advice and image.
