The ancient Kingdom of Fife is characterised by fascinating little fishing villages along the coast of the "East Neuk". Spend a little time discovering Pittenweem, Anstruther and Crail where the buildings, with their crow-stepped gables, tumble down to the harbours. St. Andrews, mecca for golfers, is an attractive coastal town with the oldest university in Scotland, founded in 1410.
The A94 road heading north-east from Perth to Forfar passes near Glamis Castle birthplace of the late Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. A few miles away is Kirriemuir at the foot of Glens Isla, Prosen and lovely Glen Clova which stretch up into the mountains of Deeside and Lochnagar. On the coast to the south-east of Forfar is Carnoustie, another favourite for golfers.
