There are a few places with a bit more information on them.
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.
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.
