Scotland’s kingdom of Fife is home to one of the most revered women in Catholic history. Yet remarkably, the spiritual influence of her work was once at risk of being cemented over, lost forever beneath a car park. Perhaps there is a lesson here: to look beyond the surface.
On a road map, Fife appears to be a mere thoroughfare; the necessary route beyond Edinburgh, taking you to Perthshire and the Highlands. Take a step back and it forms the shape of a peninsula, bordered by the Firth of Tay to the north, the North Sea to the east, and the Firth of Forth to the south.
