The Elie scarecrow festival had some unusual exhibits this year. This old car was made to look like a police car complete with a straw-stuffed constable! It was positioned just over the bridge from the 60-mph road into the village with its 30-mph speed limit and must have given a few drivers a fright.

A popular holiday activity for small holidaymakers from the 1930s until approximately 1982. Children enjoyed riding and leading the ponies and donkeys (owned by the Haig family) on the beach at Elie and Earlsferry. Mr Haig senior was known as the "Donkey Man" but as time wore on the donkeys were replaced with ponies. The saddles worn by most of the ponies were designed for ladies riding side-saddle

Beach huts were popular items on Earlsferry and Elie beaches from the 1930s until the 1960s NT4899 : Ponies on the beach but they then seemed to lose their appeal to holidaymakers for several decades. They are, it seems, now beginning to make a reappearance.

Allan Place – flanked by the cottages named Craigallan (left) and St Leonard's (centre). The pink coloured cottage (right) is named Stair House. The cottages are also seen from the north east NT4899 : Earlsferry High Street.

Allan Place is restricted only to pedestrians. Apparently cars were able at one point to go up and down to the houses on Allan Place.
