The Fife Region

The ancient Kingdom of Fife (Dunfermline was once Scotland's capital), is steeped in history, and places to vist are all too numerous to mention. However, spend a day driving round the East Neuk visiting the old fishing villages of Crail, Anstruther and St. Monans, or play a round of golf on the hallowed turf of the Old Course in St. Andrews. Fish in one of the many lochs in the Kingdom, try your hand a clay pigeon shooting or archery, or brave a hazardous 4 x 4 off-road drving experience. The choice is so diverse, that even if you were to stay for a year, you could find something different to do every single day.
