About this spot
Forget boring moles or wavebreaks! In St Monans, a quirky harbour village on Scotland's east coast, the mole zigzags across the waves like a kid's playful drawing. Built in the 1700s, it's both clever and charming, protecting the harbour from rough seas.
Walk onto the east pier, but you won't see anything from ground level, the pier's beauty lies at the end. That's where you'll find a ladder leading up the wall. Be cautious, it can be slippery and windy on top of the wall, and there's not much space for your gear. But once you've perched everything precariously, the reward is worth it!
