Take a Coastal Path Walk

A walk along the Fife Coastal Path - Scotland's longest continuous coastal path. One of my favourite sections is Lower Largo to Pittenweem where there's a massive stretch of stunning beach.

Visit Balgonie Castle

I'd visit Balgonie Castle next to admire the handiwork of the Laird who hand paints colourful paintings and murals along the roofs and walls of the castle. It's fascinating to see, especially as the Laird is 80!

Dinner at Anstruther Fish Bar

I'd have dinner at the famous Anstruther Fish bar, or the smaller chippy along the road. The views along the coast are too nice to not sit outside and enjoy your fish and chips off your knee.
