Sheltered behind the old stone of Cambo Gardens is a wild delight of seasonal blooms. We have the humble snowdrop to thank for this beautiful walled garden in Fife, just half a dozen or so miles along the coast from St Andrews. It dates from the early 1800s and was created to supply Cambo House with fresh produce and flowers.
This kitchen, say owners Emma and James, is a functional piece of modern art. It was created by Fife-based Nicholas Denney to replace their old one, which was falling apart. “We needed more work space, and wanted something that was solidly constructed,” recalls James.
“Specifically, we wanted one flowing material that would allow us to sweep directly into the sink and not have any grout that could blacken over time.”
East Neuk Seaweed founder Jayson Byles holds workshops celebrating Scotland's abundance of health-giving seaweed. Along the shores of Fife’s East Neuk, come rain, wind or sunshine, you’ll find Jayson Byles in his element. After a move to Scotland from his native New Zealand over a decade ago to work in the seaweed-harvesting industry, he launched East Neuk Seaweed, a community conservation and foraging business, focused on exploring sustainable ways to connect with nature.
