St Fillans's Cave Pittenweem

In the Middle Ages, Pittenweem Priory was a small Augustinian monastery linked to that on the Isle of May and built over the ancient sacred cave associated with St Fillan. The cave, recently fitted out as a chapel, is situated in Cove Wynd, leading from the High Street down to the harbour, and is open to the public with the key available locally. From this rough dwelling St Fillan is said to have converted the local Pictish population.
