Ninja Cows (part 2)

Once again we have been attacked by Ninja Cows, this time in Fife on the coastal path from Anstruther to Crail. These creatures watched us cross over a tricky stile and then made a move on us, en masse.

I don’t mind them being interested but when they start to use their heads to push you backwards and no amount of shouting, even very loudly, doesn’t make a slight bit of difference. Thankfully, there were rocks behind us to clamber up – cows don’t climb. And also we were saved by a bunch of noisy kids who were going down to the beach. Our ninja cows turned as a group and headed after them. We escaped by running for the steep cliff slopes.

Why Ninja Cows? Cause they do creep up on you and then use all four legs to jump and buck and turn in the air. Quite clever actually!

A very strange thing indeed. You walk onto the shore and all around you are piles of rocks, little cairns constructed carefully, often tediously, just to be different from its neighbour. And there are hundreds of them all scattered around the point.

I realised that when people came to Skye, had travelled for hundreds of miles and reached this farthest westerly point, they just had to leave something and I suppose it’s better than pieces of paper stuck in wall.
