Enjoying an elevated position overlooking the Firth of Forth, West Brae lies in a delightful setting in the picturesque and historic village of East Wemyss, north of Kirkcaldy.

Bustling shops, fashionable bars, and thriving restaurants are to be found in nearby Kirkcaldy which also hosts a popular Farmers Market held on the last Saturday of every month. Enjoy scenic walks along the beachfront, take in the formal gardens and boating lake at Beveridge Park or visit Ravenscraig Park with its playpark, football pitches, and bowling green. Kirkcaldy Leisure Centre houses a gym, health suite, and swimming pool. Education at all levels is well-catered for including Levenmouth Academy. East Wemyss is the perfect location from which to explore the characterful fishing villages that make up this scenic part of Scotland including Anstruther, St Monans, Crail, and Pittenweem. St Andrews to the north is a 45-minute drive and Edinburgh to the south is approx. 50 minutes by car or the same duration by train from Kirkcaldy.

From East Wemyss, you can explore the ruins of Macduff Castle, Wemyss Castle Gardens, and the famous Wemyss Caves and Museum. Kirkcaldy boasts a scenic promenade and beach overlooking The Firth of Forth, and a recent waterfront regeneration project has also seen the area improved for cyclists and the installation of seafront viewing shelters. There are world-renowned golf courses to enjoy including the 18-hole club in Kirkcaldy, the last designed by Old Tom Morris in 1904; Dunnikier Park Golf Club; and The Old Course at St Andrews. Cluny Activities is home to extraordinary experiences such as archery, clay shooting, and golf. In addition to the beach at Kirkcaldy, there are several more to explore nearby such as those at Elie and Kingsbarns. Kirkcaldy Galleries and The Adam Smith Theatre offer wonderful cultural escapes whilst every April the Links Market comes to town with over 200 rides and attractions. State schooling is available locally in East Wemyss and Levenmouth, and private options include St Leonards in St Andrews and The High School of Dundee. An efficient bus service connects East Weymss to towns throughout Fife, and train stations in Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes with Thornton provide swift links to Edinburgh. Edinburgh International Airport is within reach.
