Pittenweem
Pittenweem is a small village in the County of Fife on the East Coast of Scotland. The name supposedly derives from Pictish where "Pit" is "place", "ten" is "of the" and "weem" is "cave", so "The place of the cave", although it is generally agreed that no-one knows the true etymology. The cave in question may be St Filan's cave, see below, although there are many indentations along the rocky shore. The village has a population of around 1,500 people.
