The ancient university town of St Andrews globally renowned as ‘The Home of Golf’ is a mere twenty-minute drive. For an even greater choice of cultural and visitor attractions, vibrant Dundee, home to the V&A and the revitalized waterfront with the famous RRS Discovery is close by.

The area boasts various visitor attractions including National Trust for Scotland properties such as Hill of Tarvit House, Kellie Castle, and Falkland Palace.
