Tour
Caiplie Caves
Midway
between Kilrenny and Crail on the Fife Coastal Walk the
red sandstone was cut out by waves in post-glacial times
when the lower raised beach was being formed. Monks and
pilgrims en route to St Andrews carved crosses in the caves
and today local children still try to throw stones through
the hole in the southwesterly cliff in an attempt to make
a wish come true. The farm of Caiplie stands on the upper
beach level between the coast and the A 917 road.
