1. Craigluscar Activities

Craigluscar Activities in Dunfermline, Fife. Bought teenage kids Clay Pigeon shooting vouchers for Xmas. Their dad paid for himself on the day (credit cards accepted). Beautiful location despite the cold! Instructor, John, was engaging, patient and chatty. Very friendly atmosphere. Free tea and coffee to keep out the chill was much appreciated. Each of the three shooters got 25 shots (five at each of the three traps plus a practice shot) plus an extra five shots each at the end. Whole event lasted just over an hour and cost £35 per head.. All three are keen to go back again. Would highly recommend this activity to everyone. The perfect Xmas present! Wrap up warm if you go in the Winter although they do provide waterproof clothing on site as well as all the appropriate safety gear.

Ceres Games are the oldest free games in Scotland, always held on the last Saturday of the month of June, every year (except for war) since the charter to hold the Games was given to the people of the village by Robert Bruce in 1314 in recognition of their support at the battle of Bannockburn.

When you think of the requirements for a good seaside resort, Elie and Earlsferry is pretty much as good as it gets. The village is quaint and charming, the beach is fantastic, the harbour area lovely, the coastal walks stimulating, etc etc etc. Add the delightful Ship Inn and several other delightful cafes and shops and you really have it all. We always pop in here when we are in Fife and have never been disappointed.

NEW DISTILLERY CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION. UNFORTUNATELY WE'RE CURRENTLY UNABLE TO ACCEPT VISITORS. Just outside St Andrews, Eden Mill is Scotland's original single-site brewery & distillery. Since 2012 we've been brewing and distilling here, creating a unique and diverse range of beer, gin and whisky.

What a great afternoon we had blending our own gin and hearing the interesting takes of gin and the history of Eden Mill from Matthew who was very engaging and a fantastic host. Would absolutely recommend.

Backhouse of Rossie, the place we've come the past few years for their daffodil festival. For obvious reason no festival this year, but they reopened this week, and what a joy the summer garden is! I walked the labyrinth of course, I always seem to be the only one who does, we sat and watched the big carp in the pond while listening to the running water. It is the most peaceful place imaginable. We went round the walled garden twice & it just is a pleasure. Very quiet, being a bit off the tourist track, everyone whizzes past on their way to the coast. The little cafe is up and running, well organised with visors and sanitiser, home grown food, their own wonderful apple juice & excellent coffee. It's the first summer visit for us, it won't be the last.

Really pretty harbour with lovely old buildings all the way down to it. Great wee cafe on the way down called the Crail gallery and cafe. Shack selling lobster and dressed crab so you can sit around the lovely old stone harbour to eat it, if you like.

Be prepared to spend a couple of hours in this fascinating museum with its wealth of memorabilia and full sized boats of many types. There's artefacts, photos and things to interest all ages and it's a unique insight into a vanishing world. Afterwards, sample one of the many brilliant fish and chip shops along the sea front and you'll newly appreciate the bravery of the fishing crews that caught your meal.

A social history museum in a 17th century house , dedicated to preserving the social history of the vibrant town of St Andrews. Enjoy displays of Victorian shops, Great-Granny's Wash-house and our tranquil gardens.

Nauldy has just given an excellent review so I will not repeat the accurate content. It is a brilliant museum and so quaint and chocolate box pretty from the outside that you cannot fail to be drawn in. The social history inside is great. Some things from my early childhood are there so a real nostalgia trip as well as interesting local history. I was drawn in to see the garden. Thinking it would be tiny I was amazed to find a relatively large, compartmentalised garden. Just wonderful in this urban area. Plenty of history, loved the blacksmith are and the laundry room. A modern twist has been added with a sensory garden. Do visit. Our time here was enhanced by the lovely volunteers and talking to the garden convenes, whose enthusiasm was infectious. A donation in the box would be appreciated too.
