New Fife litter picking group hosts official launch event in Burntisland Links this week

The group, not content with making only Kirkcaldy a better place to stay, has branched out to surrounding towns to tackle any unsightly rubbish left by inconsiderate litterers.

Peter Docherty, the group’s founder, said: “I want to thank my team for such an awesome effort.

"Before we could even get started we hit some setbacks as a couple of our team members got on the wrong train on their way to Burntisland.

"They ended up getting off the train at Edinburgh Gateway Station and getting another train back to Burntisland.

"We're now looking for more volunteers to come join us and suggest areas in the region for clean up events.”
