Hi Folks

This afternoon I took a walk through the woodland trails of Maspie Den on Falkland estate here in Fife to photograph some of the waterfalls.

This estate is one of my favourite local areas for taking photographs. We start our walk from the pond by the old gatehouse...

This path goes past an unfinished building known as Crichton Stuart Memorial Chapel.

The building was started in 1912 by renowned Scottish architect Reginald Fairlie but was abandoned in 1915 after the death of Lord Ninian Crichton Stuart. Members of the Crichton Stuart family are buried within the chapel.

Heading further along the trail we can see the centre for stewardship, the HQ of the estate rangers. There is also a craft centre here and a lovely outdoor café called The Stables.

This creepy looking old house was once a stately mansion house but is now a school for behaviourally challenged kids.

Im not sure what this little hut is ,I think it was built by a local artist who comes here to sit in nature and paint.
