Fife (Cupar, Dunfermline, Glenrothes, Kirkcaldy, St. Andrews, Cowdenbeath,
Burntisland)
Fife has a long history of association
with the Scottish monarchy, so much so that it's people fiercely
defend it's right to be known as the 'Kingdom of Fife'. The kingdom
is home to Scotland's ancient capital, Dunfermline, the ancient
Palace of Falkland and also the 'Home of Golf', St Andrews.
Considering it is Scotland's smallest
region, Fife provides the visitor with a wealth of places to visit
and things to do. Whether history, travel, cuisine, gardens, crafts,
sport or relaxation is your interest, the Kingdom of Fife provides
it all.
Forming a peninsula that separates the
estuaries of the Tay to the north and the Forth to the south, Fife
is surrounded on three sides by water and has a coastline of about
115 miles. Its relative physical isolation is reflected in the old
saying 'Bid farewell to Scotland, and cross to Fife.'
In the west, the regional boundary of Fife begins on the River Forth
just west of Kincardine Bridge; it follows the boundary with
Clackmannanshire and Perth and Kinross east and north for 61 miles
to the River Tay just west of Newburgh.
