Fife, Scotland

Another "No longer maintained" bathing pool

Uploader's Comments

Along this stretch of the Fife coast there are a number of seawater bathing pools with attendant concrete esplanades and seating areas such as this one. Look closely at the OS map here and elsewhere and the small pool shows up as an obviously artificial enclosure within the rocky foreshore.
