Price From $731Enjoy a short but refreshing tour of the Fife Coast, Scotland's sunniest region, in the east of the country. Walk among caves and castles as you immerse yourself in the beautiful landscapes rich in flora and fauna.
This tour starts in "the long city", as Kirkcaldy, Fife's largest, is known. There, you can visit the Kirkcaldy Galleries and see the wide variety of artworks or enjoy one of the performances at the Adam Smith Theatre.
To get to Kirkcaldy you can take a bus from Edinburgh or Glasgow or a train from Glasgow or Dundee.
The first stop today will be at Ravenscraig Castle, Kirkcaldy's main fortress, built in the early 15th century, during the reign of James II.
Later you will continue to Dysart, an ancient town located on the southeast coast, which in the past was part of the properties that belonged to the powerful St. Clair family.
Then, on your way to Leven, you will pass through the Wemyss Caves, considered as a part of national heritage.
To get to Elie, you can choose between walking along the sandy beaches until you reach Lundin Links, a small village located on the south coast of Fife, or go along a route that crosses the dunes, where you can enjoy the beautiful flora and fauna.
Leven: in case there is no availability in Elie, you will be accommodated again in Leven. We will make arrangements for you to have the necessary transfers between the locations.
You'll start the day walking to St. Monans, East Neuk's smallest harbour. You'll make a first stop at an old windmill and then head to Anstruther, a beautiful fishing village south of St. Andrews, where you can enjoy a plate of the best fish.
Later, you will continue your journey on to Crail, another charming fishing village that will delight you with its beauty and fascinating views of its harbour, one of Scotland's most photographed.
After a delicious breakfast, it's time to say goodbye to the beautiful Fife Coast to return home.
