The Kingdom of Fife

Squeezed between the Firth of Tay and the Firth of Forth, Fife was for

centuries isolated from the rest of Scotland and still retains its distinctive

character. The region was once the seat of Scottish kings and this tour

includes some of its most fascinating sights. From St Andrews, with its

hallowed golf courses, ancient university – and bracing North Sea

winds – the route leads to a former military bunker, hidden

deep underground. This subterranean secret is followed by

a succession of picturesque fishing villages that

line the Fife coast. The route then winds inland

past fertile fields, castles and palaces,

before returning to the coast in

the immaculately preserved

mercantile town of Culross.
