Excerpt from The Fringes of Fife

The days were of the shortest when we set out on our pilgrimage around the fringes of Fife. Our purpose was to seek and seize, as opportunity offered, the soul as well as the form of things Finish. Such a quest is best made under gray skies, and in a nipping and an eager air. "Not in summer but in winter, " Mr. Andrew Lang tells us, "is the time to see St. Andrews", and what is said of its chief shrine may be said of "the Kingdom" at large. When cold weather and easterly haar resume their reign there is a flitting of the migrants that settle for a season on the shores of Forth and Tay. The golfer no longer haunts so persistently putting-green and bunker.
