The Kingdom of Fife in Scotland Will Delight And Enchant You!
The Kingdom of Fife on the east coast of Scotland, is a part of the country that will delight and enchant you. It is just a 'wee' distance over the
Forth Bridges
from the capital Edinburgh, and not too far from the gateway to the Highlands.
This small region in Scotland, that I not only love, but am also proud to call home, is genuinely known as
"The Kingdom of Fife
, with several Royal Burghs within it. For centuries it has had many royal connections; from ancient kings and queens, to more recently the handsome Prince William (2nd in line to the British throne, and son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana) studied for his degree at
St Andrews
University.
Fife has produced a number of
famous people
, from
Andrew Carnegie
, the great Philanthropist from
Dunfermline
to
Prime Minister Gordon Brown
who was raised in the town of
Kirkcaldy.
He wasn't born here, but represents the town in Parliament and still considers Fife his home.
The Kingdom of Fife is truly a gem of a place, a jewel in Scotland’s crown, with numerous delights to attract every visitor whether local or from around the world. There's something for the young,
and
the "young at heart"; for those who enjoy the luxuries of life as well as those on a budget.

-
Rolling pastureland, quaint villages with charming stone cottages.
