Kingdom of Fife

Home > Where to Go > Regions > Kingdom of Fife

Kingdom of Fife
Quintessential east-side Lowland Scotland, the further east you travel, the more rural Fife becomes, with its rolling hills and barley fields, small villages and well-manicured golf courses.

Great Attractions
Between the ‘time-capsule’ burgh of Culross (pronounced kew-rus) in the west, eastwards to the old ecclesiastical capital of Scotland, St Andrews – lots to see and do in this characterful area.

Get Active
Walk the Fife Coastal Path or the Lomond Hills, cycle, go off-road driving, surfing or fishing – just the start of the activities list here, which definitely includes golf.

Best Wildlife
Fife’s wildlife’s spectacle is mostly (but not exclusively) on the coast – sea-duck in good numbers, puffins on the Isle of May, and seals are some of the highlights.

Home of Golf
The Kingdom of Fife needs no introduction when it comes to the game of golf. This area holds a unique position in the annals of the game with St Andrews, the Old Course and the Royal and Ancient clubhouse at its symbolic heart.

Real Tennis
Scotland’s only original real or royal tennis court stands in the grounds of Falkland Palace. Built for King James V in 1541, it is still in use today. The game is very different from lawn tennis and in early days was played without a racket.

St Andrews Castle
A dramatically sited cliff-edge ruin, this 16th-century castle has an impressive bottle-dungeon (escape is impossible.) and a fascinating surviving mine and countermine from a 1546-7 siege - not for the claustrophobic, though now lit electrically.
