Local Fact of the Day: Fife’s cave walls written by the Picts 🪨

At East Wemyss, naturally formed sandstone caves preserve one of Fife’s most extraordinary records of the past. Historic Environment Scotland records 26 surviving Pictish symbols across Court Cave, Jonathan’s Cave and Sliding Cave, from around 50 originally identified. The carvings include animals, abstract symbols, a boat and early Christian crosses. Save Wemyss Ancient Caves Society describes them as the largest collection of Pictish inscribed symbols in one place. Have you visited? Vote Yes or No below.
