Pittenweem

Published on by Hashi1 Comment

Pittenweem is a picturesque Scottish fishing village in the East Neuk of Fife, dating back to medieval times. The name derives from Pictish and Scottish Gaelic and means “the place of the caves”, referring to St Fillan’s cave.

According to Charlie Flinders, it has the best fish and chips in the world.

Pittenweem hosts one of the most-loved art festivals in Scotland, attracting about 20,000 visitors over eight days each August. Many artists have re-discovered the charms and the light of the area, and have moved to the village, creating a vibrant artistic community. Makes me want to visit!

Lots of folks are out enjoying the State Park this weekend. We had 230 through the Visitor Center in four hours yesterday; that’s the most I’ve personally served while on duty there.

The most-asked question was: “Why can’t I get to the M*A*S*H site?” (A: The bridge across the creek was removed at the start of winter to prevent it being destroyed by flood. It’ll be re-installed soon, probably later this month. Come visit again in May!)
