An 18 hole, links course located by the Firth of Forth in Fife, Scotland. Leven Links measures a modest 6506 yards. The history of Leven Links is, suffice to say, long and complex but what is most important is the nature of the ground upon which it is built. Local conditions of winds and tides during prehistoric times, when sea levels were falling combined to produce a series of parallel dune ridges which give Leven Links a truly unique signature.

Leven is a seaside town in Fife, set in the east Central Lowlands of Scotland. It lies on the coast of the Firth of Forth at the mouth of the River Leven, 8.1 miles north-east of the town of Kirkcaldy and 6.4 miles east of Glenrothes.
The origin of the name Leven comes from the Pictish word for flood. The nearby Loch Leven, being the flood lake, was the name given to both the river and town. A settlement is believed to have formed at the mouth of the River Leven very close to the area around Scoonie Brae with the discovery of the parish church of scoyne. During the mid-11th century, Bishop Tuadal of St Andrews gifted the church of scoyne to the Culdees of Loch Leven. By the end of the 11th century, the village along with the church were acquired by Bishop Robert of St Andrews following the decline of culdeen faith.
In 1854 the Leven Railway opened, linking the town with Thornton Junction on the Edinburgh - Aberdeen main line. This helped it to become a tourist resort popular with visitors from the west of Scotland, and particularly Glasgow. Later in the 19th century the Leven Railway became part of a loop line of the North British Railway linking Thornton Junction and Leuchars Junction via St Andrews. The railway between Leven and St. Andrews closed in 1965. The railway between Leven and Thornton Junction closed to freight in 1966 and passengers in 1969. A project into the reopening of the line is under consideration, dubbed the Leven rail link. Until then, the nearest station is Markinch railway station. The ecclesiastical and civil parish of Scoonie included the town of Leven.
Tourism is a major economic activity in and around Leven. There are several large caravan parks in and around the town, as well as a number of hotels and guest houses. The neighbouring villages of Lundin Links and Lower Largo have over 50 high quality self-catering properties available for visitors.
The coast and the long sandy beaches are the main visitor draw. Leven has an attractive beach promenade with playparks and other facilities including an indoor Kids Action Zone. The promenade is part of the Fife Coastal Path that stretches for over 150 miles (240 km) from the Firth of Forth to the Firth of Tay. There are also popular family facilities and walks in the large parks at Letham Glen and Silverburn. The former includes a crafts centre and woodland walks, while the latter has attractive gardens and coastal views.
Golf is also a major draw with two courses at Scoonie and Leven Links and another within easy walking distance at Lundin Links. Leven Links has been used as a qualifying course for the Open Championship when it is held at St Andrews, the home of golf only 15 miles (24 km) to the north. There are also numerous bowls clubs in and around the town.
A heritage railway has also been established near the Burnmill industrial estate, alongside the now disused Leven-Thornton branch line. With trains running along the yard for half a mile, between April and October with a Santa special in mid-December. The Fife Heritage Railway is the first of its kind in Fife since the closure of Lochty Private Railway in 1992. The railway completed its first steam engine in August 2016.
Levenmouth Leisure Centre at the start of the promenade is an all-weather attraction with a large, modern indoor swimming pool and sports facilities. The town also boasts its own popular 374-seat, community run cinema, The Regent, which has ongoing programmes of new release feature films and hosts regular events, such as concerts and wrestling. History enthusiasts can find out about the area's past at the Heritage Centre in neighbouring Methil, only a 15-minute walk from Leven town centre.

The Lost Village of Lassodie, Just West of Kelty in Fife, Scotland
The Lost Village of Lassodie also known as the St Ninians opencast mine.
Lassodie was a coal mining village and its demise is an indication of the fate which has befallen the mining industry since those early days. Gone are the houses and the wee shops which served the inhabitants, gone are the various clubs and societies, the pub, the farm and, finally, gone are the people who made Lassodie what it was.
For more information on this old village location, visit the following websites:
I use this area to test the Phantom 3 Pro out as it very quiet with plenty of space to fly. I thought I would put a few clips together. Apologies for the props in the shot.

Week 7 Long Run – Leven and Lundin Links
At the end of June, I spent the day with Ben Smith who was attempting to break the world record for the greatest number of marathons run on consecutive days. He was working his way around the United Kingdom and marathon number 275 was two laps of a half-marathon route starting from Leven and taking in a figure-of-eight around the neighbouring villages.
I ran with Ben and a dozen or so other supporting runners on the morning loop. I had run over the course a few days previously, with no trouble and finished in just over two hours. However, on the run with Ben, my malaise returned and I struggled after the 11km mark, eventually breaking away from the group and cutting out the furthest part of the route. I joined them again with about 6km to go and finished the morning, still struggling behind everyone else.
With a couple of months gone by, and 7 weeks of structured training under my belt, it seemed right to go back and try the route again. The previous long run – 19km four days earlier – had gone reasonably well, but I had tired after 17km and walked/run the final two kilometres.
This time, everything went better than expected and I managed the half marathon distance quite comfortably, before carrying on to do the extra distance required by the programme. Running in the cooler evening was definitely better – I didn’t need to hydrate at all during the run. The running dynamics were also quite acceptable, and the overall pace of 6:18/km was OK while still leaving a lot of room for improvement.

Malcolm lives in the east of Scotland, near Edinburgh and St Andrews. He’s in his sixties now. He used to run in his twenties but gave it up when his family came along. Thirty years later, he had lost his fitness, gained a lot of weight and was on medication for high blood pressure. Deciding to take control again, he started to count his calories, and picked up the running bug again.
He now leads a jogscotland group and helps organise Falkland Trail Runners. He also runs with “Leven Las Vegas”. If all that wasn’t enough of a challenge, he decided that he would celebrate turning 60 years of age by running his first ever marathon! Things started off well but took a turn for the worse when a foot injury took him out of training for three months. He still did his marathon, but not as quickly as he would have liked. He has done other marathons and half marathons since, but continues to do more and to look for proven ways he and other older runners can improve their running.

Old Photographs Lundin Links East Neuk Of Fife Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Lundin Links ia small village in the parish of Largo on the coast of the East Neuk of Fife. The golf course at Lundin Links, Lundin Golf Club, near to St Andrews the Home of Golf, is well known throughout the golfing world as a course of rare quality. Founded in 1868, on a Tom Morris course it was extensively redesigned by five times Open Champion James Braid in 1909. The ladies golf club was established in 1891 on a part of the ground now occupied by Lundin Golf Club, but was moved to the Standing Stanes Park in 1910 on the course designed by five times Open Champion, James Braid. James was born 6 February 1870 in Earlsferry, Fife, the son of James and Mary, née Harris. He played golf from an early age, working as a clubmaker before turning professional in 1896. Initially his game was hindered by problems with his putting, but he overcame this after switching to an aluminium putter in 1900. He won The Open Championship in 1901, 1905, 1906, 1908 and 1910. In addition, Braid won four British PGA Matchplay Championships; 1903, 1905, 1907 and 1911, as well as the 1910 French Open title. He was also runner up in The Open Championship in 1897 and 1909. His 1906 victory in The Open Championship was the last successful defence of the title by a European until Pádraig Harrington replicated the feat in 2008. Stranraer Golf Club's course was the final one that was designed by Braid in the year that he died, 1950. He was called out of retirement to plan Creachmore, which was to be his last commission. Braid never lived to see the course completed. He died in London, England, on 27 November 1950.
