On Easter Sunday back in 1973 (and quite possibly also other years) a "Dawn Service" was held at the top of Largo Law. Starting at 6am, around 100 people were met at the summit with bagpipe playing and a bonfire, assembling around a wooden cross. According to the East Fife Mail of 25 April 1973, the Rev. Douglas Lister, as part of his Easter message, told the gathering:
"For centuries on the headlands of Britain like this, our ancestors, Druids and Norsemen among them, gathered to celebrate the return of Spring and, by bonfires, to send their messages across the land - warnings of danger, signals of victory."
If you ever attended such an occasion up the Law, or if you have memories of rolling eggs down it, or other local Easter-related recollections - please comment.
