We were keen to get some clay from an allotment, because allotments represent many things positive about contemporary food culture. We were also keen to get some clay from Kirkcaldy, because of the potteries that used to exist here. We got permission to come to the new
Glamis Road Allotment and met the tenants of Plot 3 and Plot 12 who allowed us to dig deep holes in their soil and take away a bucket of clay.

| These allotments are new and on this lovely sunny day, full of eager gardeners |
 |
| Our children are getting slightly fed up with their parent's idea of fun |
 |
| Plot 3 - further up the hill. Drier. |
 |
| Plot 12 - further down the hill. Wetter. You can just about see flecks of rust in this clay soil. |
