|
|
| There is so much to see an
do in this part of Scotland, and our location makes us an ideal base to
explore the many attractions available. Below are just a
few.... |
18th Green, The Old
Course
| Fife is possibly most famous
for it's wonderful choice of golf courses. Not only is it host to the most
famous Golf Course in the world, "the Old Course" in St Andrews, but is
also in close proximity to other world famous courses, such as Carnoustie
and Gleneagles. Go to our Golfing
page to get further details on golf courses in the
area. |
St Andrews
Cathedral
| There is more to St Andrews
than just golf. The town has a spectacular stretch of sandy beach,
(setting for the opening running sequence from the Oscar winning 'Chariots
of Fire') and also boasts excellent shopping and numerous pubs,
restaurants and cafes. The town has historical interest with a Castle,
Ancient Cathedral and a world famous University. Just in case you haven't
already heard, Prince William started his studies here in September
2001. |
Knockhill Racing
Circuit
| For the energetic there are
plenty of activities to keep you occupied in Fife. A visit to the
Knockhill racing circuit near Dunfermline is sure to provide action,
thrills and spills!
|
Falkland
Palace
| Fife is steeped in history,
and nearby Falkland Palace is an excellent example of this. Once the
holiday residence of Royalty including the tragic Mary Queen of Scots, the
Palace has been maintained by the National Trust and is open to the
public. As well as impressive architecture, the Palace also boasts
internationally acclaimed gardens. The little village of Falkland is
beautifully preserved with it's quaint cottages adorned with flower box
displays and a good range of
Tearooms. |
Crail
Harbour
| Kilrenny is right in the
heart of the 'East Neuk' - the set of coastal villages situated on the
eastern corner of Fife. These picturesque villages are famed for the way
they have been preserved, with their working harbours and quaint cobbled
streets. Popular with tourists, the East Neuk has a good range of
restaurants and inns as well as craft shops and a comprehensive range of
activities and gala weeks throughout the summer. Visit our East Neuk
villages page for further
details. |
Scottish Fisheries
Museum, Anstruther
| Anstruther, which is just a
mile or so away from Kilrenny, is home to the Scottish Fisheries Museum,
which highlights the fishing heritage which is so strong in this area.
Take a trip back in time as you view various exhibits which portray just
how 'fishing folk' have lived and worked down through the centuries. Both
adults and children will enjoy the museum
experience. |
The Best Fish &
Chips In Scotland
| Just across the road from
the Fisheries Museum is Anstruther's other famous attraction - The
Anstruther Fish Bar. Recent winner of the Scottish Fish & Chip Shop of
the year award, the Fish Bar draws visitors from far and wide to sample
it's famous 'haddock & chips'. A little hint - the Fish Bar gets very
busy in the summer months and the queues for the take - away can get quite
long. If you eat in the cafe restaurant however, the queue is a lot
smaller and the cost is only a little
extra. |
