Fishing Village

This is a quaint fishing village in North East Scotland, called Pittenweem which has an anual art festival every august where artists set up studios space wherever they can either in a vacan building or in someones house. It's really well worth a visit!
The village name derives from Pictish and Scottish Gaelic. "Pit-" represents Pictish pett 'place, portion of land', and "-enweem" is Gaelic na h-Uaimh, 'of the Caves' in Gaelic, so "The Place of the Caves". The name is rendered Baile na h-Uaimh in modern Gaelic, with baile, 'town, settlement', substituted for the Pictish prefix. The cave in question is almost certainly St Fillan's cave, although there are many indentations along the rocky shores that could have influenced the name.

There are 16 images stitched together to produce this image, and I used a tripod to help ensure my camera rotated on the axis i wanted.
