St Andrews (Latin: S. Andrea(s);[3] Scots: Saunt Aundraes;[4] Scottish Gaelic: Cill Rìmhinn)[5] is a town on the east coast of Fife in Scotland, 10 miles (16 kilometres) southeast of Dundee and 30 miles (50 kilometres) northeast of Edinburgh. St Andrews had a recorded population of 16,800 as of 2011, making it Fife's fourth-largest settlement and 45th most populous settlement in Scotland.
The town is home to the University of St Andrews, the third oldest university in the English-speaking world and the oldest in Scotland.[6] It has been ranked as the best university in the UK by the 2022 Good University Guide, which is published by The Times and The Sunday Times. [7][8] According to other rankings, it is ranked as one of the best universities in the United Kingdom. [9] [10]
The town is named after Saint Andrew the Apostle. The settlement grew to the west of St Andrews Cathedral, with the southern side of the Scores to the north and the Kinness Burn to the south. The burgh soon became the ecclesiastical capital of Scotland, a position which was held until the Scottish Reformation. The famous cathedral, the largest in Scotland, now lies in ruins. St Andrews Cathedral was once the largest building in Europe.
St Andrews is also known globally as the "home of golf". This is in part because of The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, founded in 1754, which until 2004 exercised legislative authority over the game worldwide (except in the United States and Mexico). It is also because the famous Old Course of St Andrews Links (acquired by the town in 1894) is the most frequent venue for The Open Championship, the oldest of golf's four major championships. Visitors travel to St Andrews in great numbers for several courses ranked amongst the finest in the world, as well as for the sandy beaches.
The Martyrs Memorial, erected to the honour of Patrick Hamilton, George Wishart, and other martyrs of the Reformation epoch, stands at the west end of the Scores on a cliff overlooking the sea. The civil parish has a population of 18,421 (in 2011).[11]
The town also contains numerous museums, a botanic garden and an aquarium.
Kinross lies just off the M90 near Perthshire's southern border.
The town sits beside Loch Leven, the largest loch of the Scottish Lowlands. Declared a nature reserve in 1964, the loch attracts around 20,000 pink-footed geese every autumn. Sitting peacefully on an islet within the loch itself is the enchanting Lochleven Castle. Between April and September you can take the small ferry to the castle which gained infamy when it acted as a prison to Mary Queen of Scots in 1567. Her dramatic escape by boat is one of Scotland's most romantic tales.
Enjoy all or parts of the 16 mile Loch Leven Heritage Trail on the north and east shores of Loch Leven. Nearby, the grassy banks of Kirkgate Park sit on the shores of the loch where there is a great play area for the kids or why not tee-off on one of the golf courses or pop into one of the lovely Hotels or cafes where you can enjoy a bite to eat. There's also a convenience store on the High Street and a number of small shops and banks nearby.
Home of the longest street fair in Europe, Kirkcaldy is a town on the Fife coast.
Nowadays the top attraction is Kirkcaldy's Links Market, Europe's longest street fair, with over 200 fairground rides and attractions, held each Easter on the town esplanade. The Kirkcaldy Galleries houses a stunning collection of artworks and artefacts, and the Adam Smith Theatre, just across the road, provides a wide programme of entertainment with everything from pantomime and music to theatre and comedy.
There are a number of shops, restaurants, cafés and bars in the centre of town, particularly around the high street and the Kirkcaldy Farmers’ Market is held on the last Saturday of every month. You can take a walk along the beach or enjoy the woodland walks and formal gardens at the Beveridge Park. Ravenscraig Park is located in the east of the town, connects up to the Fife Coastal Path and is home to the ancient Ravenscraig Castle.
Kirkcaldy is also a good base for the exploring the local golf courses and charming villages of the East Neuk.
Falkland is a picturesque town in Fife, famous for its royal palace.
Falkland nestles between the two Lomond Hills in the Howe of Fife. It is most well known for Falkland Palace. This royal dwelling was once the country residence of the Stewart kings and queens as they hunted deer and wild boar in the forests of Fife. Built between 1501 and 1541 by James IV and James V, the palace has some of the most exceptional architecture of its time in Britain. It is also home to one of only two 16th century tennis courts in Britain (the other is at Hampton Court in England).
Falkland was used to portray the city of Inverness. In Outlander, Claire and Frank arrive there on their second honeymoon. While there they meet Mrs Baird, the somewhat mysterious owner of their bed and breakfast, and the local minister, Reverend Wakefield.
Auchtermuchty (/ˌɒxtərˈmʌxti/ 
listen (help·info); Scottish Gaelic: Uachdar Mucadaidh, 'upland of the pigs/boar')[2][3] is a town in Fife, Scotland. It is beside Pitlour Hill and 9 miles (14 km) north of Glenrothes. Until 1975 Auchtermuchty was a royal burgh, established under charter of King James V in 1517. There is evidence of human habitation in the area dating back over 2,000 years, and the Romans are known to have established a camp in the southeast corner of the town.[4] In the past, the linen industry was a major source of work in the town, but in the early 18th century the firm of John White was established, bringing the town its first foundry (there were two eventually). The town also had a distillery - Stratheden Whisky Distillery, set in the town centre - from 1829 to 1926, but it had to close when Prohibition in the United States drastically reduced the demand for its products.[5]
As in many parts of Fife, there is much evidence of the impact of both World Wars on the village. To the north east of the town, a concrete observation platform was built on what is thought to be a long used site of strategical and defensive importance, as it overlooks the entire village and the remains of earlier walls and structures are evident. During the Second World War the flat farmland of the glacial valley in which Auchtermuchty sits made a prime target for glider landings in the event of an invasion.[6]
Crail is a historic fishing village in the pretty East Neuk of Fife.
Charming cobbled streets tumble down to the miniature harbour, which is sheltered by cliffs and surrounded by historic fishing cottages. Crail is a historic fishing village on the East Neuk of Fife coast and is well worth a visit.
