Iagan MacNeil explores the history, geology, scenery - and Gaelic - from the Kincardine Bridge to Newburgh. The 117 mile-long route passes through industrial sites old and new, picturesque fishing towns in the East Neuk, St Andrews the home of golf, nature reserves and plenty of beautiful beaches. Iagan starts off at the Kincardine Bridge, passing the now-decommissioned Longannet Power Station and the artificial island created from the ash it produced. He wanders through the historic village of Culross, and talks to Mairi Kidd about the only known grave site of someone accused of witchcraft in Scotland. He also visits the lime kilns in the cliffs at Charlestown and find out the history of this once vital industry at the Scottish Lime Centre, where he takes part in a demonstration of how the lime was made.
