Leven no more

I experienced the extremities of Fife on my cycle through the dying and dilapidated towns of Kennoway and Leven to the blossoming beauty of Lower Largo. It's hard to work out what's happened to Scotland since Thatcher tried to close it down but there does seem to be hope and regeneration in places like Lower Largo and Burntisland. This article explains it much better than I can, using the Proclaimers song Letter from America to understand the emigration and immigration issues.
