Willie Shand explores Newburgh, in North-east Fife, in our July 17, 2021 issue.

If you really want a good perspective on Newburgh and its surroundings, a climb to the old fort on top of Ormiston Hill is called for. What a great view there is from the summit, looking down over the town and across the reed beds of the Silvery Tay away to the Grampians.
