This is me with the Showcat and Rosemary who has written the Kirkcaldy EuroWalk and was leading the walk for its launch. The Showcat is in tribute to the Kirkcaldy Links Market, traditionally Europe's longest Street fayre !

Here is the information I photographed about Winkie the Pigeon - just one of many I think !

Kirkcaldy EuroWalk was launched today! Fab walking tour led by historian & walk writer Rosemary. Provost Jim Leishman cut the ribbon & gave an inspiring talk. Lots about Ingolstadt, the twin town. More to come but these pics give a flavour @fife4europe.bsky.social @festivalofeurope.bsky.social

You can find links with the rest of Europe and indeed the world almost anywhere you look in Scotland! This is part of some information panels at Callander. From Scotland to Vienna! #austria
