	To Aberdour 00 1280 x 950 665K	If you head uphill and inland there's a dilapidated stile over the fence and this path up the steep ridge through the trees.
	To Aberdour 02 1280 x 950 616K	The trees, though small, are quite thick but there are gaps where you can look over the Forth from higher up.
	To Aberdour 04 1280 x 950 578K	Here you can see just how high it's necessary to climb to get around the fenced off area.
	To Aberdour 05 1280 x 950 567K	As well as 2 fences (one of them electrified) there are CCTV cameras and plenty warning notices like this one.
	To Aberdour 06 1280 x 950 564K	Up here there are more mature trees which have had over 60 years to grow since the moss-covered WW2 'pillbox' was built.
	To Aberdour 07 1280 x 950 494K	Burntisland town can be seen in the distance. The noise from the oil terminal adds to the unpleasant high-security environment.
	To Aberdour 08 1280 x 950 469K	Eventually you'll reach the end of the fence and the terminal entrance. Behind the trees is a golf course.
	To Aberdour 09 1280 x 917 279K	Opposite the entrance to the oil terminal is this roadway which, after a bit of a climb, rejoins the official path. Across the Firth of Forth are the Pentland Hills.
	To Aberdour 10 1280 x 950 436K	Back on the official path, facing back the way towards Dalgety Bay. The tunnel passes underneath the road from the oil terminal. I've added an arrow pointing to Aberdour.
	To Aberdour 11 1280 x 950 576K	A more pleasant prospect on the last stretch to Aberdour. Daffodils grace this tree-lined avenue alongside the golf course on the right.
	To Aberdour 12 1280 x 950 497K	Zoomed in here to show people strolling along.
	To Aberdour 13 1280 x 883 458K	Near Aberdour village now, looking back the way we came.
	To Aberdour 14 1280 x 843 420K	Aberdour High Street lies just ahead. The railway station is a short walk along to the right.

The next part of the walk is Fife Coastal Path through and around Aberdour (page 5)
