I'm glad to learn that #Scotland's last #greyhound racing venue has closed. The unlicensed track in #Fife didn't even have a #vet at meetings. It's strange to be that a legal ban on this cruel "sport" is still not in place

Anstruther on the north shore of the Firth of Forth in the wonderful East Neuk of Fife. A busy and attractive harbour and the main commercial centre in the East Neuk: as well as being home to outstanding fish & chips.

The house martins are back 
Straight back to the nest above the living room window, no doubt they will be driving the cats nuts soon.
Finally a bit of joy today!

Update: Man seen driving fake ICE vehicle in Fife WA has been arrested and charged with 2nd degree criminal impersonation.
The man claims he did it for his youtube channel, which is also how cops located him, bc he posted videos staging fake ICE arrests(uniform n all) with the same vehicle.
The car was also driven on public streets with no plates and had misspellings in the ICE emblem.
“My job is to work with communities to plant trees in #Fife as part of climate action. I was working early in the morning to prepare for 4 local High schools to come out & plant trees in Dunnikier Park, Fife. I was digging some holes for big trees to go in along a main road.
A lovely man must have seen me working on my own & went to buy me a cup of tea & an iced bun. He came back to ‘drop it off to the lassie that was working hard on her own.’"

Pretty crazy to see the breadth of Tesla protests in the Seattle area yesterday.
A few hundred protesters showed up at each location including three locations in Seattle alone.
Reportedly Bellevue had 300+ in attendance which is kinda amazing because I didn't realize there were 300 ppl on the east side who don't own a Tesla.
What a cracking stop-off! #Bric-a-brac #Pitenweem #scotland #fife #ExploringFife

Culross in Fife, on the north shore of the Firth of Forth. The village has been beautifully restored over many years and is the nearest thing to a 16th century time capsule that Scotland has to offer. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/culross/culross/index.html
Aberdour castle in Fife, a building with origins that date back to before 1200. It then moved slowly from west to east over five centuries as each new phase of development was built next to the one that preceded it.

King 5 has videos of the vehicle and interviews with the staff and owners of Emish Grocery about the sketchy fake ICE agents.
See this ICE vehicle loitering in the partking lot of a popular PNW Ukranian grocery store in Fife, WA.
Turns out these were not ICE officers at all, instead these are believed to be impostors impersonating federal officials.
An official statement from ICE indicates that this was not one of their patrols and is a federal crime.
Send tips on this ICE impersonator to WAISN's immigrant-led tipline:

739 years ago today. King Alexander III died in a fall from his horse near Kinghorn in Fife on 19 March 1286. His death ended a golden age in Scottish history and caused a crisis of succession. This is the monument built near where he died. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/kinghorn/kinghorn/index.html

How did #UnivofStAndrews benefit from, participate in, or support, British colonialism? Our report 'The University of St Andrews and the legacies of empire, 1700-1900' is now available https://legacies-of-empire.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/
The detail of our findings may be of most interest to those closely associated with #standrews #Fife and #Tayside, or #Scotland; but I hope that our approach will be of interest to a wider audience. #history #histodons
