Fife to the fore

As a recent visitor to Fife, I was very impressed by the cleanliness and tidiness of the public buildings, parks and roads as well as the absence of graffiti which so disfigures many buildings in ­England and abroad.

In particular I had the pleasure of doing a stretch of the Fife coastal walk between Kirkcaldy and East Wemyss, and paying visits to Kirkcaldy, Methil and Leven.

The economic and social blight of these towns which I remember in the 1960s has certainly been ­replaced by a cleaner environment and a desire by many ­people to take due care of their surroundings. Long may this continue.
