This old public house sits on the side of the A917. The blue sign on the wall says "James V 1513 - 1542 travelled incognito through Fife as 'The Guid Man o'Ballengiech'. Coming to the Dreel Burn, and fearful of wetting his hose, he was carried across at this point by a stout Gaberlunzie woman, who was rewarded with the King's purse". Not bad for a bit of portering.
