St Anthony's Chapel Ruins

The ruins sit on a headland overlooking the Firth of Forth, and you'll spot them from miles away if you know what to look for. St Anthony's Chapel dates back to the 14th century, though what remains now is basically a single gabled wall and some crumbling stonework - enough to give you a real sense of age, but not so much that you'll spend hours trying to piece together the whole structure.

It's a bracing walk to get there from Kinghorn, heading down towards the water's edge. The path isn't arduous but it's properly exposed to the elements, so pick a day when the wind isn't trying to knock you sideways. Once you arrive, the main draw is the view rather than the ruins themselves. You're looking across the water towards Fife, and on a clear day it's genuinely striking - the kind of spot where you understand why people bothered building a chapel here in the first place.

Historically minded visitors will appreciate the medieval atmosphere, though don't expect interpretive boards or guides. It's just you, the stones, and the North Sea wind. Families with young kids might find the twenty-minute walk down there worth it for the novelty, though there's not much to actually do once you arrive except look about and take photos.

Entry is free and unrestricted. Allow an hour return from the main path, longer if you're the type to sit around and soak in the atmosphere. If you're staying at nearby Drummohr Camping & Glamping Site, this makes a proper morning outing before heading elsewhere in East Lothian.
