Silverburn


16 walkers left the church on 7th June for the car park on the promenade in Leven.   Foregoing the attractions of the Action Zone we proceeded along the beach  to the end of the caravan park when a left turn was made between the two golf courses (and where Mary handed out the usual one for now and one for your pocket).   Passing through the walled garden at Silverburn we proceeded to the north entrance and crossed the busy A915 to the road leading up to Blacketyside Farm, passing many fruit tents where ripening strawberries made your mouth water.    Passing Blacketyside House and across the B927 we proceeded past Coldstream Farm to the top of Letham Glen.  Through a gateway of small round stones we made our way down into the Glen stopping at the outdoor exercise equipment where some of our walkers couldn’t resist “having a go”.   At the formal entrance we crossed to take the path by the Scoonie Burn and back towards the promenade where we were joined by Joe for our usual tea, coffee, scones and musical tables and chairs at the Leven Golf Society Golf Club.   We finished this most enjoyable day with the walker’s prayer before departing for home.
