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.
