Kingdom of Fife
Glorious, sandy, award winning beaches, exciting events and a rich royal heritage await in the Kingdom of Fife, where you can explore an ancient capital of Scotland, magnificent castles and gardens, spend hours enjoying fine local food and drink, and play one of the area’s many golf courses in the region known as the Home of Golf.
