Kingdom of Fife
Travel to the Kingdom of Fife, a land of sandy beaches, rich farmland and green forests. Explore atmospheric ruins, fantastic golf courses and a wide range of wildlife across the region. Fife is easy to find, less than two hours from Glasgow less than an hour from Edinburgh.
Discover a place where each town, building and event has a story to tell – from tales of kings and queens, to the legend of four-time Open Champion, ‘Old’ Tom Morris. Uncover the hidden mysteries of Fife’s castles and palaces or tour round the churches from The Royal Palace of Falkland, an historic royal hunting lodge, to the reputedly haunted Kellie Castle.
You can’t help but appreciate the beauty of Fife and there are plenty of ways to uncover it – wander along some of the 115 miles of coastal path and see wildlife, sandy dunes and picturesque fishing villages. Fife has around 300 miles of cycle routes of varied terrain which offer a great way to tour the region.
Fife is full of opportunities for adventure, with a range of outdoor activities on land and water. However, there is also a beautiful range of quiet, peaceful beaches, such as Billow Ness in West Anstruther and Harbour Beach in Elie – many of which have won awards for the quality of the sand and clean waters.
As if that was not enough, Fife is known world-wide as The Home of Golf. It lives up to its promise and combines challenging, historic courses with hidden gems, scenic links and beginner friendly courses. The jewel in the crown is the Old Course at St Andrews, home to legendary championship golf for decades.
