Awesome walk and great history lesson too, your glass pieces are beautiful too. Congratulations on finding your inkwell awesomeness 🥰🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
It was such a great find! I think, as others have suggested, we need to satar saying, 'we're off to the car', a lot more if this is what happens! haha! Glad you enjoyed the video, thank you so much! Best wishes from Scotland! xo
I love your videos especially the one about the Priory and Robert Burns. Nicole’s laugh is a delight. I also the actual mudlarking. I was telling my daughter how much I enjoyed the history and listening to both of your accents when she started reminded me that my ancestors spoke like you.
Thanks so much Brenda! We do love an abandoned place with lots of history and a nice walk through the fields. Amazing what you can find ! Glad to hear you are enjoying our videos and that they are a reminder of your ancestors ❤️
Thanks so much Susan! We found such lovely treasures on that day 😃 Only just looked back at the finds and decided to make a few pieces of jewellery ❤️ Glad you enjoyed the video !
Loved the walk on the beach with the music and photography. I love how you see things in objects! Such a wonderful calming video. And leaving treasure for others. Lovely. Be safe and have an amazing week. xo 🦋
I saw the bear also. If you guys are allowed to metal detect on those beaches you should try. Nicole, you could make keychains out of the big pieces of sea glass. Beautiful Inkwell.
We don’t have a metal detector but it is tempting to think what you could find! They would be weighty keychains 😃 ! Thanks so much - we are very happy with that inkwell too 😊
😲 WOW, where to start!!! That was definitely a lucky day for sea glass and pottery finds👍🏻!!! This time Craig your beloved bottle neck find was really a extra special one 👍🏻👍🏻...a really lovely sea worn blue beauty🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻. CONGRATULATIONS!!! That's a special one for your collection 😉☺️. Nicole's info on tea pot sizes was a new thing for me. I can't wrap my head around a 16 cup tea pot🤯. Judging by the size the size of the one she discovered... someone should tell the Mad Hatter you found the bottom of his missing tea pot for the party 😉😁. Yes😃👏🏻👏🏻, I saw the teddy bear!!! He looks abit like "Wonky" the mudlarking bear the Kit&Caboodles just created in their latest video. Perhaps Wonky could wear the leg Nicole found as a wellie...it does look abit like a boot🤣🤭. So much pirate glass...so THICK and beautifly worn. And another fun fact lesson learned...the thick gray glass...TV screen!!! Never would have guessed that 👍🏻👍🏻. But alas...most special (drum roll, please.)...the dark pink flash glass and your marvelous ink well 🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️🙌🏻. That must have made you two's hearts flutter when you discovered what it really was!!! Maybe you should say your heading back to the car more often 😉. Seems the "Mudlarking God's" take that seriously 🤔 and want to make sure you get your fabulous treasures for all your hard work😉. I do have one question for Nicole, and maybe you answered this in a previous video and I missed it. Where do the "pirate parrots" come from? Are they part of a certain kind of shell? They sort of remind me of doves 🕊️. Thank you both for the beautiful and and quite exciting and amazing finds filled tagalong. 🙋🏼♀️🤗🤭😘
It really was a great day! Surprisingly so! Lots of good finds and, we thought, an interesting landscape! Factory teapots! The biggest contemporary one we found is 12 cups - it must have been a bit of a muscle building job being the tea-person! :D Love the Mad Hatter ref - long time fan of Alice - I have an old facsimile of the original story - Alice's Adventures Underground - love that book! :D We feel sorry for leaving the tile bear - it would have been really quirky in the garden... Oh! The boot! :D We have been in touch! :D The gray glass is interesting and a very particular shade! But, yes! Those were the best finds - that inkwell, especially amazing! Haha! The, "lets get back to the car", thing is becoming a habit! You're right, I think we'll wander along mumbling that constantly from now on - its seems to do the trick! :D The shell - I think its a kind of whelk, though I am not entirely sure - they became parrots only because we first collected a few in our Pirate Sea Glass video, but you're right, they are perhaps more dove than parrot! So glad you made it along! It was a fun day - and thankfully, you were spared the chilly weather! :D Hope all is very well, stay safe, blessings to you and yours, and, as always, thank you so much! :D xo
I learn something new from each of your videos. This was a spectacular day with the beautiful flash glass and the ink well. Thank you so much for all the history, and glass and pottery identification information. The industrial waste is even intriguing!
I think the magic finds come when you say the magic words , just heading back to the car 😁what a gorgeous inkwell, and some lovely pieces of sea glass and pottery, we went to visit a rope makers once in Hawes so interesting to hear the history of that , take care 🐙♥️🍀😀⭐ xx
It seems to be becoming a thing - we may have to start mumbling something like, "going back to the car now", like a kind of mantra to attract the good finds! :D A few others have said the same... as the weather gets colder, we're likely to say that a lot more often, hopefully the finds will flow! :D Very cool, we would love to see a rope walk in action! Like so many things, we wish this one had been turned into a museum , but these days supermarkets are in higher demand! Stay safe and well, very many thanks! :D xo
Beautiful scenery, calming sounds of the waves, lovely music, interesting history and wonderful treasures found. Its another perfect video, Craig and Nicole!
Thank you so much! It was a really good day for lovely finds... they took the edge of the chilly weather! We may have plans for some of the black/pirate glass pieces! :D xo
Every time you're walking back to the car you find the most amazing stuff.😅 That inkwell is such a great find! I also love the blue piece of glass from a poison bottle. The shape makes it really beautiful! 😍 Can't wait to see your next adventure. Saying hi from a very windy and snowy Netherlands. 💨❄☃️
It seems to be our lucky charm! We may have to start saying, "lets go back to the car", every time we want to find something nice! haha! It was a good, but chilly day, with lots of lovely finds, though, yes, that inkwell! Lovely! Thank you so much! Best wishes from Scotland - the snow seems to have arrived here today! xo
Hello Craig and Nicole, what a lovely inkwell, quite jealous of that! Enjoyed the ropewalk history, there was a similar industry in Littlehampton where we have mudlarked a few times. Always amazes me how many miles the folk that worked there walked each day the rope in hand. Lovely scenic shots as always, thank you! Take care 😄
Very cool! We wish the old ropery here could have been saved as a museum - quite a bit of space to set aside, but an amazing part of history! It is a funny thought... all day walking up and down a length of rope! :D Thank you so much! xo
Hi both! I see a tile bear too. Your blue glass find looked like a small blue unicorns horn. The inkwell was a spectacular final find of the day. I never tire of watching your outings and finds. The scenery and music so soothing, good for the soul. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
That's such a lovely compliment, thank you so much! If we can add a little calm and open a window on something nice, that's so rewarding! :D Glad you saw the bear! Unicorn's horn! Very cool! I just wish we could have taken the 'bear' home for the garden! xo
I think happiness is richest in the things before us though not beyond us... "To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour", William Blake! I must have swallowed a poetry anthology in my sleep! :D Thank you so much! xo
Nice find at the end!! I always enjoy y'alls videos. Informative and funny at times, Nicole, you have beautiful skin and a lovely smile. Keep up the good work!
Another beautiful video Nicole and Craig ❤️🤗🤗🏴 x love the ink well that was stunning 😍 and enjoyed the history of the area and about the different types of glass you found and the pottery .... very helpful indeed x stay safe 🤗🤗 look forward to next video x I’m away to the beach this morning weather is wild ..... x see how long can brave it haha 😆 going metal detecting x
Thank you so much! It was a really good day with some lovely finds, but that inkwell! So glad you enjoyed it! Hope your metal detecting outing was rewarding! Hope the weather is kinder today... Stay safe and well and happy hunting! :D xo
@@scottishmudlarking thanks so much ..... we had an exciting day .... 💣 squad called as our friend found a washed up mills 5 hand grenade .... and I think 🤔 maybe found Ambergris will test it today ... found unusual glass topper for you ❤️ .... I sent mail on Facebook not sure if you got it 😊😊
I saw the Teddy bear lol brilliant insight into the roperie I never knew that it had existed in Kdy my auntie ina live at that end of the links so I grew up about there. I really enjoyed the show tonight it was fair braw and the inkwell was well cool 😎 👍 virtual hugs to you both ❤ 🤗 😊 Alex xx
We wish we could have brought the tile bear home and made it into a cute garden feature! :D We wish they never tore down the old rope walk - it did look a bit ramshackle, but it would have been so nice to walk the hall! I've never known why the area was called Links - I've always thought referred to a golf course! I also only just read that the Market/Fair is the oldest in Scotland, established in 1304! That's so cool! Big virtual hugs, best wishes and massive thanks, Nicole & Craig xo :D
Another lovely film 🧡 The flash glass is beautiful The leg is indeed brilliant, we would have loved to have found it, we take it “quirky” is a good thing? 😂
Thanks ever so much ! The pink flash glass made a lovely romantic pendant ❤️ Let us know if you would like leg 🦵 and we will post it to you along with some other treasures! Yes quirky is good 😌 I would say it’s creative, eccentric and fun 🤩 in relation to your crafting Fleur and Kate ❤️
Yes that huge piece of cut sandstone might be from a window 😃 ! The star piece is probably from a cup , it’s thinner than a tile and ever so slightly bent. Thanks so much Annie!
What a productive journey, you are both so knowledgeable. What...no roundup!!! :) I had a course many years ago in Geology, not natural but Human, showing the effects of the environment on communities and vice-versa. It was very fascinating, the professor had slides illustrating those effects ,from all over the world. It seems to apply to your area ,as well. Cheers, Rik Spector
Its always a good day in Kirkcaldy!, but it was a very good day despite being quite chilly! We are so lax with the roundups! Haha! Very interesting - in the UK human geography/geology is usually referred to as cultural geography - it is a fascinating subject! Craig used to work in a related field, social anthropology - that's where a lot of our interest in social history comes from! :D Very kind, thank you so much! :D
I did giggle when I read the words on that sepia photo - 'Fresh air from the potteries' :D Such lovely finds, especially the star and another fab history lesson :)
Haha! I know! Its good to know that sense of humour goes back and bit and can still give us a laugh all these years later! :D Glad you liked the star too - the inkwell was awesome, but that little star is a wee gem! Thank you so much! :D xo
I really miss the sea and I am so looking forward to being able to beach comb and sea glass hunt the sea sounds great so relaxing . Too much rubble but the bear is fab 😂😂😂
We hope it is not much longer before you can get back to a shore - its so difficult to be away from it when it is a part of your life. Haha! You are not the first to say... we shall limit the rubble and keep it to smaller doses in future - good to know! :D Thank you so much! xo
You could make me a pendant with that huge piece of aqua sea glass and the poison shard Nicole!!😁 I really admire the research you do and the story it tells Craig.
Thanks so much Kelly! I have just listed a few pieces on our Etsy shop with a couple of the finds from that day including the poison bottle piece ❤️ ! There is an XXL sea foam in our shop too ... not sure we took the piece from Kirkcaldy home that day 😬 but I can double check if you like!
Thank you for another great video, beautiful scenery, music, interesting finds and the information about the rope factory. Take care and stay safe ❤️🇦🇺 xxx
So glad you enjoyed it - it would have loved to have seen the rope factory when it was still around - what a building! Thank you co much! Stay safe and well! :D xo
Thank you for another interesting and informative video, love the ink bottle,so nice of you to leave that pirate glass for others. ❤️ from Ontario Canada 👍
Thank you so much! The inkwell is such a cool find, so much luck goes into seeing things in the right light! :D We like to leave wee heaps of this and that! :D Much love to your and yours from Scotland! xo
Grooved stone likely held a window. The cut piece looks like the base of a big column (or half pillar). Flooring tiles look like church or pathway tiles.
Very interesting and good to know! We have not been able to get back along there since November but are desperate to so that we can see what else we might find. Thank you so much! :D xo
Maybe if you walk along and every now and then say, "Well, let's head back to the car." It seems to give you super find vision. 😊 Yet another beautiful, interesting video that makes me feel like I'm right there at the sea.
You're so right... I think we will have to arrive, say hello, then say, "Ok, lets get back to the car" as our luck bringer! :D It really is funny how badly we drag our heels going home, and lucky for us too! So glad to bring the ocean a little closer! :D xo Thank you so much for all your encouragement and support! xo
@0:36 -- Yes! I see a teddy bear. It so shocked me that I had to pause the video. This was an amazing beach walk for you in November 2020. What amazing finds -- @7:37 that spongeware star and @28:38 that red flash glass plus all the pirate sea glass! Your Inkwell did turn out to be the "find of the day" but we still haven't seen it up close....can you maybe do that soon?
Oh Karen we were so blessed that day with our finds! The pink piece made a lovely pendant ❤️ The star ⭐️ is now also a necklace - never found another piece like it in a decade!!! The teddy bear was a little too heavy to take home but soo cute 🧸 . We showed the inkwell in our New Year’s video - goodness that seems ages away ❤️ Thank you!
@@scottishmudlarking You are right -- it does seem ages ago! @23:50 in that 1/1/21 video, I went back and looked at that gorgeous heavy inkwell again. You were so fortunate to be able to discover its history and add it to your collection. Nicole, I always laugh when you find something that will make a good marble display, as you seem to see things for their better uses. Always a joy to go to whatever place you take me along. Cheers!
I see the bear shape in the tiling, that piece would be interesting in a rockery. The round wheel shape of concrete could have been a base for a metal pole. Then you said it was really old, perhaps the finished twisted rope was guided through the hole somehow before completely finished. Just a thought.
It so would! I wish we'd mustered up the energy to haul it back to the car and then used it in the garden. We have a bad habit of saying concrete is new, when its a very old technology, so, both ideas hold up! Very many thanks! :D
Was there a big storm before this outing? Often big storm waves will take away the sand from the surface of our beach, exposing lots of large underlying rocks etc. Landfill sites to stabilize the shore were also often filled with 'clean fill'.
There was a bit of a storm and, as you say, likely what brought this up - all the same, the shore seemed little higher - its an odd area especially closer to the burn (river), and often changing unpredictably. You are right too about the landfill... we think much of it has come from the old ropery and a number of nearby buildings that have been more recently demolished very nearby - although we didn't film it, the tide has exposed more brickwork further along. :D Thank you so much! xo
Could those pirate glass bottle bottoms be used to sit pillar candle or tea lights in? I really enjoyed your adventure today. Thanks for taking me along.
Nicole, that blue and white striped pottery looks like Cornishware. I see the teddy bear. OMG Craig, you know who Soundgarden are? I'm impressed!!! Absolutely loved the scenery but especially the closing view with the moon over the ocean. Even though I live so far away, we are all connected, as we all look upon our beautiful moon. Thanks for another great ep. Take care and stay well. x
That's such a lovely thought, we all dwell under the same moon! It is certainly the right colour for Cornishware, a lovely wee piece! We so wish we could have taken the 'bear' for the garden.... a bit heavier than a bouy though! haha! Oh! Yes, indeed! Loved Soundgarden! I first heard of them in the 90s - I was in a band auditioning a singer and he said we sounded like Soundgarden - so I went out and bought Badmotorfinger! WOW!! Awesome!! I'd gab on all day about music in that period... I still love the Smashing Pumpkins, oh and Tool! I better stop now! haha!! The moon rising over the sea is such a beautiful thing to watch!! Thank you so very much! :D xo Stay safe and well.
@@scottishmudlarking Alice in Chains, Mazza Star, Nirvana, I'm stuck in the 90s musically. Oh Mad season, Mother Love Bone and Hole, now you've got me started...lol
Another lovely video, I never thought about rope making factories being so long but I see they would have to be. Very interesting! Could the ink bottle have been from a ship? The shape reminds me of a ships decanter. Just a thought 😊 x
So glad you enjoyed it! :D Its a funny thing rope making - I remember seeing a documentary about it some years ago and that was when I had that, wow, moment seeing those very long hallways! Just fascinating! :D You could well be right about the inkwell coming from a ship - it is a 'capstan' shape, named after a system used on ships to pull ropes and lift sails etc. It was a common shape used on ships because it stopped things falling over. Its a good thought! :D Thank you so much! xo
Very interesting guys. I'm in Kinghorn and the beach changes daily with the tide. One day sand the next revealed rock. I love the rubble find and the history lesson. You learn something new everyday :-) Nicole, I'm trying to place your accent. Please put me out of my misery. Are you from the highlands?
What a lovely spot to be in! Kinghorn is such a nice place to walk - I remember standing listening to the waves moving all the pebbles around in the water - what a great sound! :D So glad you enjoyed the video, thank you so much! All best from up the road! :D
Hi Patricia 😃 Yes we make jewelry with our finds and sometimes framed art! Have a peek at our Etsy shop www.Etsy.com/shop/scottishmudlarking to see what we make ! We have a sale on at the moment that finishes Friday
I think you are right... I was watching this just after uploading it and... oh the things we see in edit! haha!! Well spotted! :D xo Thank you so much!
Some really neat finds, nice one! 👍🐾🦘😎
It was a great day! That inkwell was such a great find! Thank you so much! :D xo
Awesome walk and great history lesson too, your glass pieces are beautiful too. Congratulations on finding your inkwell awesomeness 🥰🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
It was such a great find! I think, as others have suggested, we need to satar saying, 'we're off to the car', a lot more if this is what happens! haha! Glad you enjoyed the video, thank you so much! Best wishes from Scotland! xo

Loved the walk on the beach with the music and photography. I love how you see things in objects! Such a wonderful calming video. And leaving treasure for others. Lovely. Be safe and have an amazing week. xo 🦋
Always great to hear our videos help to spread a wee bit of peace and calm - I know we all need it! Stay safe and well! Big hugs from Scotland! :D xo
I saw the bear also. If you guys are allowed to metal detect on those beaches you should try. Nicole, you could make keychains out of the big pieces of sea glass. Beautiful Inkwell.
We don’t have a metal detector but it is tempting to think what you could find! They would be weighty keychains 😃 ! Thanks so much - we are very happy with that inkwell too 😊
I see the 🧸!😁❤️
We wish we could have taken the teddy bear 🧸 ! Thanks so much Julie 😊
😲 WOW, where to start!!! That was definitely a lucky day for sea glass and pottery finds👍🏻!!! This time Craig your beloved bottle neck find was really a extra special one 👍🏻👍🏻...a really lovely sea worn blue beauty🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻. CONGRATULATIONS!!! That's a special one for your collection 😉☺️.
Nicole's info on tea pot sizes was a new thing for me. I can't wrap my head around a 16 cup tea pot🤯.
Judging by the size the size of the one she discovered... someone should tell the Mad Hatter you found the bottom of his missing tea pot for the party 😉😁.
Yes😃👏🏻👏🏻, I saw the teddy bear!!! He looks abit like "Wonky" the mudlarking bear the Kit&Caboodles just created in their latest video. Perhaps Wonky could wear the leg Nicole found as a wellie...it does look abit like a boot🤣🤭.
So much pirate glass...so THICK and beautifly worn. And another fun fact lesson learned...the thick gray glass...TV screen!!! Never would have guessed that 👍🏻👍🏻.
But alas...most special (drum roll, please.)...the dark pink flash glass and your marvelous ink well 🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️🙌🏻. That must have made you two's hearts flutter when you discovered what it really was!!! Maybe you should say your heading back to the car more often 😉. Seems the "Mudlarking God's" take that seriously 🤔 and want to make sure you get your fabulous treasures for all your hard work😉.
I do have one question for Nicole, and maybe you answered this in a previous video and I missed it. Where do the "pirate parrots" come from? Are they part of a certain kind of shell? They sort of remind me of doves 🕊️.
Thank you both for the beautiful and and quite exciting and amazing finds filled tagalong. 🙋🏼♀️🤗🤭😘
It really was a great day! Surprisingly so! Lots of good finds and, we thought, an interesting landscape!
Factory teapots! The biggest contemporary one we found is 12 cups - it must have been a bit of a muscle building job being the tea-person! :D Love the Mad Hatter ref - long time fan of Alice - I have an old facsimile of the original story - Alice's Adventures Underground - love that book! :D
We feel sorry for leaving the tile bear - it would have been really quirky in the garden... Oh! The boot! :D We have been in touch! :D
The gray glass is interesting and a very particular shade! But, yes! Those were the best finds - that inkwell, especially amazing!
Haha! The, "lets get back to the car", thing is becoming a habit! You're right, I think we'll wander along mumbling that constantly from now on - its seems to do the trick! :D
The shell - I think its a kind of whelk, though I am not entirely sure - they became parrots only because we first collected a few in our Pirate Sea Glass video, but you're right, they are perhaps more dove than parrot!
So glad you made it along! It was a fun day - and thankfully, you were spared the chilly weather! :D
Hope all is very well, stay safe, blessings to you and yours, and, as always, thank you so much! :D xo
What cool debris! What a fun lark!
Thanks so much Erin! That beach changes so much with every tide and that day there was more rubble than ever 😃 and with it great treasures!!!
I learn something new from each of your videos. This was a spectacular day with the beautiful flash glass and the ink well. Thank you so much for all the history, and glass and pottery identification information. The industrial waste is even intriguing!
That is very kind, thank you so much! It was a great day, glad you enjoyed it! Stay safe and well, and thank you for such encouraging words! :D xo
I think the magic finds come when you say the magic words ,
just heading back to the car 😁what a gorgeous inkwell, and some lovely pieces of sea glass and pottery, we went to visit a rope makers once in Hawes so interesting to hear the history of that , take care 🐙♥️🍀😀⭐ xx
It seems to be becoming a thing - we may have to start mumbling something like, "going back to the car now", like a kind of mantra to attract the good finds! :D A few others have said the same... as the weather gets colder, we're likely to say that a lot more often, hopefully the finds will flow! :D
Very cool, we would love to see a rope walk in action! Like so many things, we wish this one had been turned into a museum , but these days supermarkets are in higher demand!
Stay safe and well, very many thanks! :D xo
Beautiful scenery and great finds. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much Mary! The views are so lovely towards Edinburgh there. Glad you enjoyed the video and our treasure hunt 😊
Another good video guys sure is a lot of glass bottle bottom. Stay safe Cheers 🇦🇺.......
Thank you so much, very kind! Yes, that's quite the bottle bottom - so thick! Stay safe and well! Best wishes from Scotland! :D
Beautiful scenery, calming sounds of the waves, lovely music, interesting history and wonderful treasures found. Its another perfect video, Craig and Nicole!
So kind of you Sheila! I remember that day well, it was sooo cold but the light was stunning and that ink well was an amazing find :)
So much amazing chunky black sea glass!! That inkwell is definitely a stellar find, as beautiful and rare as the flashglass.
Thank you so much! It was a really good day for lovely finds... they took the edge of the chilly weather! We may have plans for some of the black/pirate glass pieces! :D xo
Wow what a gorgeous last find absolutely amazing ❤
Loved all the finds though, so pretty 😊thanks for sharing
Thanks so much Deb! That inkwell is a really special find for us 😃 we were very happy with the treasures from that day!
Wonderful finds, especially that inkwell!
Thanks so much Alisa ! The inkwell was a really special find 😃 Craig was very chuffed !!!

The leg is indeed brilliant, we would have loved to have found it, we take it “quirky” is a good thing? 😂
Quirky is always good!
Thanks ever so much ! The pink flash glass made a lovely romantic pendant ❤️ Let us know if you would like leg 🦵 and we will post it to you along with some other treasures! Yes quirky is good 😌 I would say it’s creative, eccentric and fun 🤩 in relation to your crafting Fleur and Kate ❤️
Wonderful ink bottle!
Glad you think so too - its lovely! :D xo Thank you so much!
What is kind of cool is that horse hair fishing lines were made in the same manner as making hemp rope. Interesting area to be sure!!
That's very cool! I knew horse hair was used in violin bows, but fishing lines! That's great to know! Thank you so much! Best wishes! :D xo
big piece of sand stone maybe a lintle or coping,my architecture is a bit rusty,and the star pottery maybe a tile design
Yes that huge piece of cut sandstone might be from a window 😃 ! The star piece is probably from a cup , it’s thinner than a tile and ever so slightly bent. Thanks so much Annie!
Yes, definitely a Teddy bear. Love the inkwell.
We wish we could have taken it home and put it in the garden! We will have to settle for that inkwell - a great find! :D Thank you so much! xo
What a productive journey, you are both so knowledgeable.
What...no roundup!!! :)
I had a course many years ago in Geology, not natural but Human, showing the effects of the environment on communities and vice-versa.
It was very fascinating, the professor had slides illustrating those effects ,from all over the world.
It seems to apply to your area ,as well.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Its always a good day in Kirkcaldy!, but it was a very good day despite being quite chilly! We are so lax with the roundups! Haha!
Very interesting - in the UK human geography/geology is usually referred to as cultural geography - it is a fascinating subject! Craig used to work in a related field, social anthropology - that's where a lot of our interest in social history comes from! :D
Very kind, thank you so much! :D
I did giggle when I read the words on that sepia photo - 'Fresh air from the potteries' :D Such lovely finds, especially the star and another fab history lesson :)
Haha! I know! Its good to know that sense of humour goes back and bit and can still give us a laugh all these years later! :D Glad you liked the star too - the inkwell was awesome, but that little star is a wee gem! Thank you so much! :D xo
Really pretty finds.
Thanks so much Susan! It was a great day for finds 😃
You found some amazing pieces.
Nice rewards for a chilly day! :D
Thank you so much! xo
I really miss the sea and I am so looking forward to being able to beach comb and sea glass hunt the sea sounds great so relaxing . Too much rubble but the bear is fab 😂😂😂
We hope it is not much longer before you can get back to a shore - its so difficult to be away from it when it is a part of your life. Haha! You are not the first to say... we shall limit the rubble and keep it to smaller doses in future - good to know! :D Thank you so much! xo
Wonderful video, thank you for sharing👍
Thank you so much for coming along! :D xo
You could make me a pendant with that huge piece of aqua sea glass and the poison shard Nicole!!😁 I really admire the research you do and the story it tells Craig.
Thanks so much Kelly! I have just listed a few pieces on our Etsy shop with a couple of the finds from that day including the poison bottle piece ❤️ ! There is an XXL sea foam in our shop too ... not sure we took the piece from Kirkcaldy home that day 😬 but I can double check if you like!
Some really lovely finds there. Many thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! It was a surprisingly good day, especially that inkwell! :D xo
Oh my a lot of lovely finds
Thanks so much :)
@@scottishmudlarking Your very welcome
A delightful ink. Well spotted Craig
Another great day out.
It was a lovely reward and nice end to a chilly day! :D Thank you so much!
Thank you for another great video, beautiful scenery, music, interesting finds and the information about the rope factory. Take care and stay safe ❤️🇦🇺 xxx
So glad you enjoyed it - it would have loved to have seen the rope factory when it was still around - what a building! Thank you co much! Stay safe and well! :D xo
Yes the two red tiles with the small black tiles looks like a teddy bear in away.
A very cubist teddy bear! Definitely not kowala like! :D
Thank you so much! xo
Thank you for another interesting and informative video, love the ink bottle,so nice of you to leave that pirate glass for others. ❤️ from Ontario Canada 👍
Thank you so much! The inkwell is such a cool find, so much luck goes into seeing things in the right light! :D We like to leave wee heaps of this and that! :D Much love to your and yours from Scotland! xo
Grooved stone likely held a window. The cut piece looks like the base of a big column (or half pillar). Flooring tiles look like church or pathway tiles.
Very interesting and good to know! We have not been able to get back along there since November but are desperate to so that we can see what else we might find. Thank you so much! :D xo
Maybe if you walk along and every now and then say, "Well, let's head back to the car." It seems to give you super find vision. 😊 Yet another beautiful, interesting video that makes me feel like I'm right there at the sea.
You're so right... I think we will have to arrive, say hello, then say, "Ok, lets get back to the car" as our luck bringer! :D It really is funny how badly we drag our heels going home, and lucky for us too! So glad to bring the ocean a little closer! :D xo
Thank you so much for all your encouragement and support! xo
That may be what it was called here, but I had the course in 1960 so It's been a while:)
@0:36 -- Yes! I see a teddy bear. It so shocked me that I had to pause the video. This was an amazing beach walk for you in November 2020. What amazing finds -- @7:37 that spongeware star and @28:38 that red flash glass plus all the pirate sea glass! Your Inkwell did turn out to be the "find of the day" but we still haven't seen it up close....can you maybe do that soon?
Oh Karen we were so blessed that day with our finds! The pink piece made a lovely pendant ❤️ The star ⭐️ is now also a necklace - never found another piece like it in a decade!!! The teddy bear was a little too heavy to take home but soo cute 🧸 . We showed the inkwell in our New Year’s video - goodness that seems ages away ❤️ Thank you!
@@scottishmudlarking You are right -- it does seem ages ago! @23:50 in that 1/1/21 video, I went back and looked at that gorgeous heavy inkwell again. You were so fortunate to be able to discover its history and add it to your collection. Nicole, I always laugh when you find something that will make a good marble display, as you seem to see things for their better uses. Always a joy to go to whatever place you take me along. Cheers!
great video again x
Very many thanks! :D xo
I see the bear shape in the tiling, that piece would be interesting in a rockery. The round wheel shape of concrete could have been a base for a metal pole. Then you said it was really old, perhaps the finished twisted rope was guided through the hole somehow before completely finished. Just a thought.
It so would! I wish we'd mustered up the energy to haul it back to the car and then used it in the garden. We have a bad habit of saying concrete is new, when its a very old technology, so, both ideas hold up! Very many thanks! :D
Was there a big storm before this outing? Often big storm waves will take away the sand from the surface of our beach, exposing lots of large underlying rocks etc. Landfill sites to stabilize the shore were also often filled with
'clean fill'.
There was a bit of a storm and, as you say, likely what brought this up - all the same, the shore seemed little higher - its an odd area especially closer to the burn (river), and often changing unpredictably. You are right too about the landfill... we think much of it has come from the old ropery and a number of nearby buildings that have been more recently demolished very nearby - although we didn't film it, the tide has exposed more brickwork further along. :D Thank you so much! xo
I see teddy
:D I wish we had a wheel barrow because it would be in our garden now... :D Thank you so much! xo
Tiles look like a red panda.
Yes! Love red pandas! So cute! Thank you so much! xo :D
Could those pirate glass bottle bottoms be used to sit pillar candle or tea lights in? I really enjoyed your adventure today. Thanks for taking me along.
Oh! Yes! Great idea - I think that would look lovely! Thank you so much for coming along! :D xo
Nicole, that blue and white striped pottery looks like Cornishware. I see the teddy bear. OMG Craig, you know who Soundgarden are? I'm impressed!!! Absolutely loved the scenery but especially the closing view with the moon over the ocean. Even though I live so far away, we are all connected, as we all look upon our beautiful moon. Thanks for another great ep. Take care and stay well. x
That's such a lovely thought, we all dwell under the same moon!
It is certainly the right colour for Cornishware, a lovely wee piece! We so wish we could have taken the 'bear' for the garden.... a bit heavier than a bouy though! haha!
Oh! Yes, indeed! Loved Soundgarden! I first heard of them in the 90s - I was in a band auditioning a singer and he said we sounded like Soundgarden - so I went out and bought Badmotorfinger! WOW!! Awesome!! I'd gab on all day about music in that period... I still love the Smashing Pumpkins, oh and Tool! I better stop now! haha!!
The moon rising over the sea is such a beautiful thing to watch!!
Thank you so very much! :D xo Stay safe and well.
@@scottishmudlarking Alice in Chains, Mazza Star, Nirvana, I'm stuck in the 90s musically. Oh Mad season, Mother Love Bone and Hole, now you've got me started...lol
Yes, I saw the teddy bear, before you even mentioned it. Lol.
Such a fun find that teddy bear 🧸 ... bit chunky to take home sadly 😊
Another lovely video, I never thought about rope making factories being so long but I see they would have to be. Very interesting! Could the ink bottle have been from a ship? The shape reminds me of a ships decanter. Just a thought 😊 x
So glad you enjoyed it! :D Its a funny thing rope making - I remember seeing a documentary about it some years ago and that was when I had that, wow, moment seeing those very long hallways! Just fascinating! :D
You could well be right about the inkwell coming from a ship - it is a 'capstan' shape, named after a system used on ships to pull ropes and lift sails etc. It was a common shape used on ships because it stopped things falling over. Its a good thought! :D
Thank you so much! xo
Very interesting guys. I'm in Kinghorn and the beach changes daily with the tide. One day sand the next revealed rock. I love the rubble find and the history lesson. You learn something new everyday :-) Nicole, I'm trying to place your accent. Please put me out of my misery. Are you from the highlands?
What a lovely spot to be in! Kinghorn is such a nice place to walk - I remember standing listening to the waves moving all the pebbles around in the water - what a great sound! :D So glad you enjoyed the video, thank you so much! All best from up the road! :D
Absolutely a teddy bear just missing an arm & ear...
Yes, poor thing! :D We so wish we could have hauled it back to the car - it would have been very cool in the garden! :D Thank you so much!
Has anyone got any recommendations for mud larking/beach combing places in fife? X
Have a look at our playlists - almost all our videos are filmed in Fife at the moment 😃
Hi folks do you make anything with your finds .I love finding the glass n how smooth it is
Hi Patricia 😃 Yes we make jewelry with our finds and sometimes framed art! Have a peek at our Etsy shop www.Etsy.com/shop/scottishmudlarking to see what we make ! We have a sale on at the moment that finishes Friday
Wow that's lovely .by the way that's my local beach too .me n my daughter like to find pottery on the beach near where the old bus garage used to be .
I do see the teddy bear
Awesome! It really brought a smile to our faces! :D Thank you so much! xo
I sure saw a teddy bear 🧸
That makes me happy! :D Thank you so much! :D xo
Yes definitely a teddy bear. Lovely bits of dressed stone. Pity they are far too heavy to carry home. Thanks for sharing.
Oh! We'd have loved to bring some of that stuff home - they'd make amazing garden ornaments! :D Thank you so much! xo
I thought it before you said it....a bear
We really wish we could have taken the teddy bear 🧸 home 😃 Tina! Thanks so much ...
Just before the 21 minute mark you missed a clay pipe stem where you moved a rock.
I think you are right... I was watching this just after uploading it and... oh the things we see in edit! haha!! Well spotted! :D xo Thank you so much!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌷💐
Thank you so much! :D xo
Sorry but too much time spent on industrial waste
Lol
I guess its not to everyone's taste... Its a very different week next week! :D Thank you so much for watching and commenting! xo
