How To Visit Fife, Scotland| Coast, Countryside & Gastronomy
Welcome to Fife, located on Scotland's lesser visited East Coast.
Fife is known for its charming harbour villages, beautiful coastal communities, sandy beaches, and delicious seafood cafes. The area is also home to rolling hills and pretty forests, making it a wonderful blend of coast and countryside.
We’ve spent months in Fife: walking the clifftop coastal path, exploring in a campervan, and discovering it’s historical landmarks, wonderful beaches, and best things to do. Oh, and of course, indulging in Fife’s foodie gems.
Come with us and discover Fife's most stunning destinations.
Planning your Fife Trip

Fife has much to offer, so we suggest staying for at least two nights.

Discover Fife
Located on the East Coast of Scotland, the ancient Kingdom of Fife is one of our favourite areas in Scotland.
Despite its relatively small size, Fife has a lot to offer, including castles, beaches, cathedrals, walks, hills, cafes, historic towns and picturesque harbour villages. After two months spent living here, we think this kingdom provides endless possibilities for weekend escapes. And wonderful coastal day trips from Edinburgh and Glasgow.
