The Man In The Mist! (PiPs) HBM/HWW!

The Man In The Mist!  (PiPs)  HBM/HWW!
Mist rolls in from the sea at Crail a small fishing village in the East Neuk of Fife, and the man in the distance looks out across the sea, barely visible in these conditions.

This wall is all that remains of Crail Castle, thought to have dated back to at least the 12th century, with the tower a later addition. Certainly David of Scotland (1124 - 1153) used it as his occasional residence. Crail was granted Royal Burgh status in 1178, but by 1568 Mary Queen of Scots was said to have written that it was in a ruinous state with only the moat remaining.

The third and 4th PiPs are of the sundial which served sailors, fishermen and townspeople for over 200 years in Crail Harbour, and which was removed in 1883, restored and placed in it's current position in 1890, and the sign on the rails with the above information.

So I wonder - who is the man in the mist. Who are you?

Here is a song by JJ Heller called 'Who Are You'

A mystery in the mist, whoever it is have made a break for it with just a quick glance back as they disappear around the corner.
Interesting set of images, all well captured! HBM

Thank you very much Roger. It will take more than a little bit of mist to put me off - I will find him as I have a feeling he might be very important to me!!!!!

Interesting information and place, as usual, Carol!

Ecobird club has replied to Armando Taborda club
Thank you very much Armando. In terms of history it is sad that the castle was just allowed to fall into disrepair until nothing was left but the one wall.

Have a good week ahead and best wishes to you and your lady wife.

Thank you very much Roger. Whoever he is he cuts a dashing figure - or at least he dashed away when he realised I was taking his photo:-)) I am pleased you liked the music too.

I knew, by the turret, that this was Crail, Carol. I think I have similar photos of this area in the archives. Not much to see on this day with the haar coming in from the sea.
HBM and enjoy the coming week.

Ecobird club has replied to Amelia club
Thank you very much Amelia. It wasn't the best day to choose but I am pleased we went there. It is a very attractive place. It was actually quite atmospheric with the crashing waves and the mist but I would like to see it on a sunny day. I always like to see photos on here of places we have seen for ourselves and it is interesting to see other people's take on them. I hope you had better weather when you visited!!

The mystery man in the mist! ;-)
And there's an enigmatic tower at the end of the row of benches...someone watching from there if the bench sitters behave? ;-))

HBM, Carol, and have a great week!

Ecobird club has replied to Edna Edenkoben club
Thank you very much Edna:-)) He couldn't hide in the mist though he did try to make his escape when he saw me taking photos. I caught up with him later though!!!

No takers for the benches in this mist, and nobody watching from the turret either. Not a bad idea though, - no misbehaving or they will drag you off to the tower!!!!

The harbour has a reputation for being one of the most photographed places in the area so it would be nice to see it on a sunnier day

Thank you very much Marie. The turret in the mist caught my imagination - and of course the 'mystery' man!!! It is a shame the castle was allowed to deteriorate. I am pleased you like the choice of music.
