Welcome to Scotland 🏴
If you remember this post 👉 Seafield Beach in the Kingdom of Fife, Scotland 👈 I took you on a walk along the Fife Coastal Sea Path to Seafield Tower.
At the end of that post I said we would explore the ruined castle that was at the end of Seafield beach in a future post.
Well that time is now!
A couple of weeks ago, in what feels like was the last throws of summer 2022, I managed to get out and explore the tower.
Our destination ~ Seafield Tower
If you did not read the previous post, then you may well have guessed by the name Seafield that we are in a field by the sea! Woot woot give yourself a pat on your back, you are clever after all, but then again we knew that already beacuse you are on Hive!
I was aiming to reach Seafield Tower, walking from Kirkcaldy in Fife, Scotland and that was me turning round to show you where we have come from.
Right let's get back onto the path and look where we are going! What do you think? Can we see the castle in the distance?
Yes there it is. Let's get a bit closer before we find out more about the Tower.
Instead of looking up into the sun, let's gather some fun facts for you!

Seafield Tower Fun Facts

The completed tower was believed to be five stories high with walls 5 feet (1.5 m) thick and maximum internal dimensions of 20 feet 2 inches (6.1 m) by 14 feet 4 inches (4.4 m). It was constructed in an 'L' shape configuration using local red sandstone.
Yes that wall is five foot thick, that is the height of a wee lassie!
I think that window would be on the second or third floor. Or do you say story?
Floor or story, which do you say? I might drop a wee tip for the engagers in the comments...
Talking about windows and views, how about this for a view from your living room?
Let's have a look around the outside.
How kind of someone to leave us a bench to have a wee sit down and have a breather and get our breath back!
You thought I was joking, didn't you!
However, whilst you are sitting on the bench getting your breath, have a look out over the water, if you know name of the peak then drop me a comment and yes another wee tip might wing its way to you...
Right then, I will be back once I take a walk around the tower.
So put your feet up!
Did you see the yellow sign in the grass in that last picture?
This was a bit late to see!
So that was Seafield Tower, now remember the view from the living room window, well I deliberately did not show you something.
In the picture above to the right there is a colony, can you guess what of?
SEALS, yes it is our local seal colony.
Right, well I will do a proper post of the seal colony another day, but home was calling.
Shall we go home quickly?
When there is wind like there was, this yacht made quick work of crossing over the water.
What do you think the last inhabitants would make of another part of their view?
I hope that you enjoyed my summer stroll in and around Seafield Tower in the Kingdom of Fife, Scotland.
