Hotels in Fife

The “Kingdom of Fife” lies on the east coast of Scotland, just north of Edinburgh. The county looks on the map like a Labrador dog’s head. In the south it had previously been heavily industrialised with many coal mines and factories. Unfortunately, for the local employment situation much of the heavy industry has now disappeared. St Andrews (The home of Golf) lies in the north east corner of the county along with the many small fishing villages of the East Neuk. A great way to see the coast is to walk or cycle the Fife Coastal Path.

Travel

Transport is not a problem to this part of the country. With the railway line north from Edinburgh going along the Fife coast to Kirkcaldy from here the line goes further inland towards Cupar and north to Dundee. If you want to explore Fife I would advise that you hire a vehicle if you want to truly explore the area. It takes less than an hour to drive to most locations in Fife from Edinburgh Airport.
