The Kingdom of Fife, Scotland

The Kingdom of Fife is just a quick hop over the Forth Bridge (by car or train) from the capital city of Edinburgh. Fife is famous for many things, but if you are considering a family holiday or weekend break, there are many things to do and see and options of sports and activities. If you decide you would like to travel to Scotland by sea, the Superfast Ferry runs daily between Zeebrugge and Rosyth, you arrive right on the doorstep of Fife.

St Andrews - Home of Golf

Ancestral home of the Scottish monarchs, world famous for its golf and with some of Scotland's best scenic attractions, the Kingdom of Fife is a proud region with its own distinct identity. St Andrews, affectionately known as the "Home of Golf" is a stunning university town with its beach which was used for filming the "Chariots of Fire" movie, the town is pleasant to stroll around and admire its historic beauty.

To the south of St Andrews the tiny stone harbours of the fishing villages of the East Neuk - Anstruther, Crail, St Monans and Pittenweem are an undeniably appealing extension to any visit to this part of Fife.

Fife - Central in Scotland

Fife is close to all of Central Scotland. For those coming from further a little bit further away, Edinburgh and Dundee airports are just 20 minutes away. Fife's central location makes it the perfect spot to use as a base for touring.

The lush and fertile countryside of Fife will reveal a uniquely relaxing atmosphere. From the delightful fishing villages of the East Neuk to the Royal Burgh of St Andrews and from the rolling hills of the Howe to Dunfermline, the sights and sounds of Fife will live long in the memory.

Southern Fife is dominated by Dunfermline, a former capital of Scotland and the 'Lang Toun' of Kirkcaldy, Fife's largest settlement. The Forth Road and Rail Bridges are the most memorable sights on this stretch of coastline.

North of Kirkcaldy in Central Fife, the highlights are the historic village of Falkland with its impressive ruined palace and the county town of Cupar, a charming market town set in rolling countryside.

For nature lovers, the path is a real walk on the wild side. Look out for grey seals and, in summer, basking sharks and dolphins. The offshore islands of Inchcolm and Inchkeith are home to thousands of seabirds, with vast numbers of puffins found on the Isle of May.
