New Inn Roundabout to Cupar

There are eight milestones on the A914 from New Inn to Cupar. All are of the older type, and bear the date 1824. At the roundabout the Newport to Perth road (A914/A912) crosses the A92 Edinburgh to Dundee road. The New Inn was demolished in the 1960s to make way for the road.

These pictures were taken on a chilly, windy, sunny day towards the end of April 2016.

An account of the walk can be seen here. (PDF file)

New Inn Roundabout

Just after the roundabout the road crosses the railway and a small burn.

The first milestone at the Freuchie turn-off

The first milestone is just before the the road crosses the minor roads to Kennoway and Freuchie.

Between the first and second milestone

Between the first and second milestone the road passes Forthar, with its handsome cut-out sign and bank of solar panels, and the footpath to Rameldry Mill Bank. Looking back you see the Lomonds and ahead lies a straight road down through Kettlebridge. The railway is on the left, turning away due north, while the road continues to go north-easterly.

Kettlebridge

The second milestone is at the entrance to Kettlebridge.

Turning to Kingskettle

In Kettlebridge: a VR postbox at the Fast 'n' Fresh Sandwich Shop, and a Glenfield & Kennedy man-hole.

Balmalcolm

Passing another turning to Kingskettle the road leaves Kettlebridge and approaches Balmalcolm.

Crossgates - South of Pitlessie

Passing Ramornie Mill, with the Lomonds still to be seen in the rear, the road approaches Pitlessie. The fourth milestone is at Crossgates, just before a turning to Ladybank and Letham on the left and a footpath going off to the right, up the hill towards Burnturk. The road on the right used to continue towards Kennoway, making this, as the name implies, a crossroads.

Cults

The fifth milestone is just after the road crosses a burn which goes on to join the Eden at Cults Mill.

Sixth milestone - before the turning to Springfield and Stratheden

The road runs through woods to where it meets the road to Springfield and the road that goes past Scotstarvit towards Caigrothie. The milestone is just before the crossroads.
