SEE AND DO

Nature

Nature’s perfectly at home in Fife, where there’s a wealth of habitats, including several nature reserves, for wildlife, flora and fauna. Waterfowl and dragonflies flock to Fife’s lochs and estuaries, while over 80,000 puffins nest at the Isle of May National Nature Reserve every summer and dolphins are often seen in the sea off the East Neuk of Fife.
