Reaching Fife by car and rail
Fife is an area that stretches roughly from Kincardine to St Andrew’s, and is very close to the city of Edinburgh, accessible by bridges over the Firth of Forth waterway. It’s just a 50-minute drive from there to the heart of the region. You’ll find it’s not much further from Glasgow, at just a 75-minute drive, passing along Falkirk.
A return ticket from Edinburgh Station to Dunfermline to the west of Fife costs just £10 if you book in advance, and will have you there in 30 minutes or so. From Glasgow Queen Street, it’s just 90 minutes and costs roughly £30 for a return. Both cities have major international airports.
The splendid town of Kirkcaldy
Experience gorgeous sea views, as well as a number of attractive parks including Beveridge and Ravenscraig. The town has the curious distinction of being the largest manufacturer of linoleum in the United Kingdom. You can also choose from a selection of exquisite holiday cottages if you’d like to stay in the town for longer.
