Between the Firths of Forth and Tay lies the historic Kingdom of Fife. Best known is St Andrews, "Home of Golf" and seat of Scotland's oldest university. Just to the south of St Andrews are the picturesque villages of the East Neuk with their distinctive pantiled roofs and unspoilt beaches. More golden sands can be enjoyed at Burntisland and Aberdour. Less than 30 minutes from Scotland's modern capital is the country's ancient capital, Dunfermline, "The Westminster of the North" and final resting place of Robert the Bruce. Don't miss Deep Sea World at North Queensferry where the longest underwater safari will take you exploring far beneath the waves. Further west is 16th century Culross, an outstanding example of a 16th century town. Whether you approach the Fife Coastal Route from Edinburgh to the south or Dundee to the north you can be sure of spectacular scenery and first class attractions.
