    I am off to Dunfermline this weekend (exciting I know). My other half is doing an art course there. Any suggestions for rides around there (30-60 miles)? Can move the start point a little.

    I was think of heading north to Dunning one of the days.

    You can't miss them if you're lucky enough to be in the right area. I've had one fly past me about 30 feet away and they are HUGE!

    Off Topic - I have to say I am loving reading the comments on another EEN story

    I see what you mean -

    "Camping on land under some circumstances can be an offence under Traspass (Scotland) Act and Land Reform (Scotland) Act and the police were clearly aiding and abetting."

    spytfyre have to love the response of the Evening Chipwrapper online community. I wonder if those campers appreciate from what all the plastics their tents are made of are derived of. It sure as tofu isn't hemp.

    I liked the RBS comment:
    "In recent years RBS has been one of the most active banks in the world in providing funding for renewable energy projects so we are at the forefront of helping finance the transition."

    Yeah I'm pretty sure if they put their heart into it we would have moved a lot faster by now...

    Culross is lovely (apart from the cobbles) - thanks for reminding me.

    yes but the real question is, should White-tailed Eagles be made to wear helmets, or should it be their own personal choice?

    Well, these are juveniles.

    Didn't see any in the end. Did a lovely ride through the Ochils to Dunning from Dunfermline - great views. Then a circular from Cupar including the Firth of Tay, Tentmuir and St Andrews.
