Hi Nicole and Craig. Really enjoyed your wee expedition to Pettycur. My wife enjoys a wee scour about the beaches herself but thus far we haven't been down to this one. We did do a wander along to Burntisland a few years ago. Just making it off the beach before almost being cut off by the tide! I remember the United Glass factory. It occupied the site under the cliffs where those 'new' houses are now. When I was an apprentice electrician, I was involved in the rewiring of the scheme above the harbour area. A woman who lived in those houses worked in the work canteen at United Glass so we used to pop down there for the odd lunch. The folks who own The Bay Hotel and caravan park are old friends so we'll maybe have to make a day of it and pay them a visit and go down for a scrounge about when the weather gets a bit better. Some nice views down there but on a good day, the views from the caravan park are simply spectacular. Cheers.

Hi! So glad you enjoyed it! Hope you get a chance to re-visit the place and enjoy treasure hunting in this amazing bay! Oh! The tides on this streach are very tricky - they come in quite fast in this bay! That is so cool - its amazing to hear that you remember the factory being there... It must have looked quite different...its pretty quiet now, so hard to imagine when it was a hive of activity! We have never popped into the park, but will have to do that for the views - if you fancy a wee climb, there is an old, long abandoned, mining village in the hills nearby - it was called Binnend... Following the path along the side of the fields on the hill, takes you to the most spectacular views along the Forth - we made a video up there a year or so ago! Very many thanks! Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo PS. good luck beachcombing!

I realise this is an old video and you may have already been but you should go to Kinghorn Harbour beach too. On a good day the tide goes out really far and you can walk around the rocks on either side going towards Pettycur or away in the other direction. I spent so many childhood summers at kinghorn Harbour. I'm sure it will have sea glass around those rocks although it's been a while since I visited it. There's actually hidden coves in kinghorn if you walk next to the train line/old caravan park (not pettycur but the now private caravan park in kinghorn) then jump over the seawall (when tide is out).

You are right - its horrible stuff! Check out our past videos where we collect and use plastic from a number of different beaches - I've copied a few links here. We often collect plastic and try to encourage its use in art because that way, it gets trapped outside the immediate environment... We collect and bin a lot each week we're filming, or just walking, too, but we know binning is just displacing it into a landfill or even just getting it dumped somewhere that it will be equally nasty. Sadly, we cannot collect it all... This beach alone has a vast collection of nurdles - the tiny component pieces that are melted down to make plastic items - we did a special on that to draw awareness, but we can't collect them all, there must be hundreds of thousands of these tiny plastic pieces on this beach... Here are a few of the videos we have made that focus on the problem and, we hope, give some creative ideas about using it. Thank you so much, its an important issue!
