Family and farmland

Does this not look a bit like the farming areas on northern Tassie?
 This is the view from this week's cottage.
Once again we have been trawling graveyards and churches for traces of long lost ancestors, mostly 3T's. This has resulted in some interesting spontaneous tours at two of the churches when we ran into the local church historians.
We have seen some cute old harbour villages. This one is Crail.
T made us nervous by climbing the steep narrow stone steps up onto the harbour wall with no railings. I followed her, of course.
We visited the oldest university in the English speaking world - St Andrews. Yes, we also saw the famous golf courses but no, I did not take photos of that. 
This is Kirriemuir where my 4 times great grandfather went on a drunken spree with a mate one night and stole some money.
It is where Bon Scott of ACDC fame was born! I wonder if his ancestor led mine astray?
