" Carr (boulder) and ail (rock) both come from Old Gaelic. The dangerous Carr Rocks lies three miles offshore and is guarded by a lightship "
Many of Fife's best known golf courses lie along the coast, with the most famous of all in St Andrews, the "Home of Golf". The town was once the ecclesiastical centre of the nation and boast Scotland's oldest university, as well as the sweeping beach featured in the film, "Chariots of Fire"
But it is not only the coast that you will find places of interest in Fife. Inland, there is beautiful, rolling countryside which rises to the heather covered Lomond Hills. There are forests, lochs and country parks, stone circles, palaces and historic houses - all just a short diversion from the tourist routes.
And even if you do not have your own car, you can reach all parts of the Fife Coastal Tourist Route by public transport - buses run frequent services along every section of the route. Alternatively you can follow the route under you own steam. The Fife Coastal Path hugs the coastline from the Forth Bridges to the Tay Bridge, or you can follow the many dedicated cycle paths of the kindom of Fife Millnnium Cycle Ways.
Please take time to look at our cottage with the facilitys and surroundings that it offers.
