The Ochil Hills are on the door step and I'm only an hour from the mountains of the Highlands, I love the wilderness Not much to say about my village really, only that they had witch burnings nearby way back when
We have a nice river which Corbie loves, country footpaths straight out of the front door, and so much wildlife. Kinross-shire is a small county measuring barely 15 miles from west to east, 9 miles from north to south and has a population of only approx 8000 - So when 100,000 music fans arrive for T in the Park you notice it
We're surrounded by hills (Ochils, Cleish, Lomond) and this means that we have our own climate at times. We also have Loch Leven which is a wildlife nature reserve and one of the islands houses the castle where Mary Queen of Scots was held prisoner for a time.I used to live in a town called Emsworth in Hampshire all my life, near Portsmouth, then moved to Whiteley near Fareham, and I moved to Scotland in Sept 2003 - I would never live south again.

Small market town with a very old bridge which crosses the River Ouse and also has a chapel on it.In the centre of town,there is a statue of Oliver Cromwell who farmed in the town,but lived 6 miles away in Huntingdon.Since this area has always been Tory,Huntingdon didnt want the statue (errected in 1899)-so St-Ives ended up with it!
St-Ives is a very old town which until the early 70's,used to have a cattle market every monday (normal market still continues on Mondays & Fridays) and can still remember the smell of cattle poo wafting round town-despite being only a few years old!
