Fife Tourist Information
Welcome to Fife ...
The Kingdom of Fife in Scotland was once the stronghold of ancient Pictish and Scottish kings who had their capital at Dunfirmline. Unsurprisingly, this attractive lowland region has an abundance of heritage sites, castles and houses that befits its long history.
A natural peninsula, Fife is encircled by a beautiful coastline of sandy beaches and rocky cliffs created by the estuaries of the Firth, the Tay and the North Sea. Its East Neuk or 'corner' is one of the most picturesque coastal areas in Scotland, with a chain of lovely seaside villages such as Anstruther and Crail nestling around quaint fishing harbours.
Inland, the rolling countryside is dotted with historic towns and villages. As well as Dunfirmline, there are the attractive towns of Falkland and Culpar, the coastal town of Kirkcaldy which hosts the longest travelling street fair in Europe, and further to the west the wonderful historic village of Culross. The impressive Forth Rail and Road Bridges connect Fife with Southern Scotland at Queensferry.
However, the highlight of the Fife region for many will be a visit to St Andrews, a handsome University town known the world over today as the historic home of golf. It is the centre of a golfers pardise - there are over 45 golf courses in Fife - and also boasts a stunning ruined castle, cathedral and an attractive harbour.
