That is a great shot, probably marine erosion is more responsible for the geomorph here rather than wind or rain.

You're right, I was supposed to write "wind and sea" but habit took over.

Fife has a unique landscape, formed by its vulcanic past combined with the erosion of the sea. Different types of lava have different resilience, which is partially responsible for those stunning rock formations. Great shot!
