The Kingdom of Fife has two ancient 'capitals' - Dunfermline, the seat of early Celtic kings and St Andrews, the ecclesiastical capital.

Most of Robert the Bruce is buried in Dunfermline (his heart is buried in Melrose Abbey in the Southern Borders) and Charles I, the last monarch born in Scotland was born in the Palace.

To the west of Dunfermline is Culross and atmospheric 16th and 17th century domestic architecture.

Below the shadow of the Forth Bridge is Deep Sea World, the largest aquarium in Britain. A short way to the east is Falkland Palace, a former hunting lodge of the Stuart monarchs and a favourite of Mary, Queen of Scots.

Follow the Fife Tourist Route signs from the Forth Bridge Road through the coastal towns of Fife and Dundee for spectacular seascapes and views of the Firths of Forth and Tay.

In the East Neuk of Fife (neuk is Scots for corner) there is a Dutch influence in the architecture of the fishing villages like Pittenweem and Crail.

The Scottish Fisheries Museum at Anstruther tells of the local's long struggle with the sea. The fruits of the sea can be sampled in the numerous seafood restaurants.

The university town of St Andrews blends the academic with its religious history though it is probably better known for golf (some would argue that golf is a religion for some!). Apart from the famous course the British Golf Museum traces the sport's history from the Middle Ages to today. There are two other local history museums in St Andrews along with good shopping, fine beaches, St Andrews Castle and Visitors Centre and St Andrews Sea Life Centre. The castle has a bottle dungeon hollowed out of solid rock from where death was the only release. Climb St Rule's Tower in St Andrews Cathedral for a magnificent view of the town. Within easy reach of the main town is the Fife Animal Park, popular with families
