- Exploring Methil in Fife, Scotland. This week circumstances force us to stay close to home, as we show you around the highlights of the town of Methil in Fife, Scotland. And yes, we didn't know there were this many highlights either.
Although, to be fair in Methilmill Cemetery the interesting bit was hidden away. Bit more obvious among the serious Victoran engineering of Methil Docks
Then from visiting our local harbour we visit the Island of Crete in search of whatever history has survived the concrete apocalypse of the party-hard tourist resort of Hersonisos
And, of course, there are a couple of charity shops and some AMAZING snow zoomies courtesy of DeNiro in Dunfermline.
A huge thank you to everyone who's supported our wee channel so far, if you'd like to help support our wee adventures you can do it through through our Ko-Fi or Patreon.
All our videos are hand made from 100% organic ingredients ;). Our content is mostly filmed on a GoPro 11 with a Rode fluffy microphone to keep the wind noise down, with occasional bits on an iPhone13. We also use a DJI Mini 3 drone which we're loving getting to grips with.
We make our own music using GarageBand and the videos are edited in iMovie.
If you'd like to buy DeNiro a biscuit (and he's a good boy, honest) you can via our Ko-Fi link at www.ko-fi.com/ScotlandOnAShoes....
If you'd like to become a patron of our wee channel we also have a patreon at / scotlandonashoestring
We also have an Etsy shop where we sell some of our hand made items. It's at dandbbythesea.etsy.com

Finally catching up with our fave channels after our adventures!
Thanks for taking us on holiday with you! What a juxtaposition with the snow! We love Dunfermline, such a nice town.
Hope you guys had THE BEST time !!
@@scotlandonashoestring Pretty darn amazing! Feel so very lucky!
Neil is upstairs putting ep1 together as we speak!
My doggy has the same coat as Dinero, it fits beautifully and always gets positive comments. She also loves zoomies in the park.
They’re great coats!! Very dashing.
Crossford here 😊, lovely video.
I really like Fife. Never been to your town. I do like Dunfermlime. We had some friends who lived above a chippy there. It’s where I got my first taste of haggis.
Methil isn’t really on the visitor agenda usually, but when it’s up against places like Dunfermline and St Andrews that’s probably not hard to explain :)
Geez I Live in Edinburgh Now But I Was Raised in Methil When i was a kid then i moved over here to Edinburgh in 2005 Its Changed a Lot i Still love Me Place Of Birth in 1955 Love it ty For Bringing back memories
We’re from Edinburgh but now living in Methil!
Lots of history in one video! The churches here in Cyprus also have red roofs (as you probably know) and the grave stones have photos on them. Here too they bury family on top of each other if possible.
Awww DeNiro in the snow! Bless him 🐾🥰
It was interesting trying to find all the history in the area. If we were trying to find two for one drinks offers we could have made the episode much easier :)
@@scotlandonashoestring love a bit of research. Haha oh yes that's always easy!
Enjoyed that and good you could replace that mirror for more adventures.
We had a bit of ❄️ too.
We had one day and since then it’s just rained. Prefer the snow.
Snow zoomies look like good fun although I was a bit worried when DeNiro disappeared off into the distance!
We had every confidence he’d come back… honestly.. never a doubt..
I am 62 and come from Methilhill I spent a lot of time at my Grandparents in Lower Methil.There was still 13 docks at the time and we loved exploring the old warehouses. I liked your video but you never mentioned East Fife or the old and new Bayview. You could’ve added a lot more mate.
I know, I got more into that episode the more I explored :) Wouldn’t have been “doing” Methil at all if it wasn’t for the van’s incident.
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Again, awesome drone footage. Sorry about one of Daisy’s shrek ears (side mirror) being destroyed. Glad you replaced with a new and improved one. Dang, those AirTags sure do work. Hope DeNiro is all better.
The AirTag was a lifesaver!! DeNiro is fine after his prawn cracker medication :)
Excellent episode! Thank you all very much for making and sharing this beautiful video! Be well, stay safe all.😊💜🥰
Thank you, and the same to you
I'm happy to see archaeology anytime, anywhere, especially if you can say a little bit about it. I'm glad you looked up info about the sites in Crete. That Roman fountain was quite pretty.
Aww, DeNiro in the snow is too cute. How often do you get snow?
We’ve been a bit hit and miss with snow the last couple of years. We usually only get a couple of decent dumps a year.
great content
Thanks!
Watching in Canada - I got all excited when you said you were going to the cemetery and then I realized my grandparents are actually in Scoonie Cemetery in Leven, and not it Methil (odd as they lived in Methil). Now I have to go looking for where in Methil they lived.
Funny you should say that. We’ll be exploring Leven soon.
We’ve just been to Scoonie :) A bright but chilly visit to Scoonie Cemetery in Leven #scotland #graveyard #cemetery #fife

@@scotlandonashoestring What a beautiful day you picked for the visit! Thanks for letting me know about it.
Were you wearing a new hat or did you get a perm? Looks good!
Hahaha. Takes me back to days when I had hair.
Sorry your mirror got damaged.
Did you swap over the outside temperature sensor, it's needed for the dpf regeneration to work.
Ooh, good point. The new mirror came as a complete unit so hopefully if it was in the old one it’s in the new one. I’ll check, thank you!!
Ian, Do you still do metal detecting, or bottle digging?
I still get out digging when I have time :)
You lament that Methil is not a place of beauty. On the other side of the coin, places of beauty and interest also have loads of traffic and tourist, and you are free from those things.
That is very true. And there are interesting things to see everywhere if you look hard enough.
At time 17:29 on your video, you misspelled History, as Hisory.
Oops!!! We’ve both watched that and didn’t notice :)
8:39 My highschool German is too rusty. First line might be: Here lies(rests) in God. Google Translate for the rest: "HERMANN BRASSEIT A GERMAN SAILOR
FD. F. D. KONCSBERO
+ 30 XII.1927 IN (Methil)
BE FAITHFUL UNTIL DEATH AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE CROWN OF ETERNAL LIFE." I'll leave in Google's shouting of the translation.
Thank you. Our German isn’t great either :) bet there are some great stories behind those graves.
